Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,744 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,744 m of the 2,586 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 587 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 12 at UIBB Bratsk Airport in Bratsk, Russia. The takeoff distance was 1,239 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -24°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 40°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Bratsk Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and continued to an altitude of 37,302 feet above sea level. The climb was a significant one, with an increase of 34,653 feet in just 31 minutes, covering a distance of 199 nautical miles. The aircraft then transitioned into a level cruise, which lasted for 115 minutes and covered a distance of 1,096 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 12 miles south west of ULAG Kachug Airport in Kachug, Russia.
After the cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 33 miles north east of Dunhua in Jilin Sheng, China. The descent was steep, with a decrease of 34,904 feet in just 11 minutes, covering a distance of 57 nautical miles. The aircraft then transitioned into its final approach phase, which was conducted to runway 27 at ZYYJ Yanji Chaoyangchuan Airport from the east. The aircraft was heading 262.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,369 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 27 was successful, with a touchdown point that was 172 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -154 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -10°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 316°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, and the headwind component was 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,665 meters, which was 64% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,359 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 164 minutes. The aircraft used 8,919 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at ZYYJ Yanji Chaoyangchuan Airport, achieving a score of 96.5%. The final approach to runway 27 was initiated from the east, with a heading of 262.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,369 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed that was well above the target at 147 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate of -154 feet per minute was considered good, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 172 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may have been due to the aircraft's speed and alignment.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.9 meters, which may have been a result of the crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -10°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 316°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,665 meters was 64% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the desired parameters.
