Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 437 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 400 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 400 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate 1,860 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, centreline 4.3° off, against a 1° limit and speed 36 kt FAST on the reference speed of 139 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 8.0° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,101 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 408 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 36 at Chiang Mai International Airport, covering approximately 1 nm in 4 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 36, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 156 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,620 m, which represented 48 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were 28 °C with calm wind reported as 0 kt from 240°, resulting in zero cross-wind and head-wind components.
The initial climb commenced about 1 mile west of Chiang Mai, where the airplane rose from 2,017 ft asl to 11,051 ft asl, an altitude gain of 9,035 ft achieved in 4 minutes while covering 17 nm.
A short level segment followed, beginning 3 miles north of VTSI San Sai Airport; this cruise segment lasted 2 minutes and spanned 8 nm.
A second climb began roughly 3 miles north-west of San Kamphaeng, during which the aircraft ascended from 11,087 ft asl to 38,870 ft asl, gaining 27,783 ft in 23 minutes and traversing 162 nm.
The subsequent cruise phase started about 13 miles north-west of Sainyabuli, lasting 83 minutes and covering 609 nm.
Descent operations were initiated 30 miles west of Yunfu, with the airplane descending from 38,996 ft asl to 1,464 ft asl, a loss of 37,532 ft over 22 minutes while traveling 123 nm.
For the final approach to runway 02R at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, the aircraft approached from the south on a heading of 15.0°, positioned 4 nm out and 1,398 ft above ground level. Weather at the time was 33 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 80°, providing a 5 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind component.
Touchdown occurred before the runway threshold at a speed of 127 kt. The vertical speed at touchdown was minus 254 fpm, and the touchdown point was laterally displaced 397.1 m from the centreline. The total landing distance recorded was 597 m, representing 19 % of the runway length.
During rollout, the aircraft remained laterally misaligned, with a measured deviation of 397.2 m from the centreline.
After landing, the Airbus A320 taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 928 nm, required 144 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 4,677 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 entered the final approach to runway 02R at ZGGG Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport from the south on a heading of 15.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,398 ft agl. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate, with a sink rate too high and the aircraft off the centreline. Ambient temperature was 33 °C, wind 5 kt from 080°, providing a 5 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt headwind.
Touchdown occurred before the threshold with a speed of 127 kt, which the data rates as good, and a vertical rate of minus 254 fpm, rated as fair. The touchdown point was excessively misaligned, being 397.1 m from the runway centreline, and the aircraft used a total landing distance of 597 m, representing 19 % of the runway length.
During rollout the aircraft remained excessively misaligned, deviating 397.2 m from the centreline.
To improve future performance, focus on maintaining centreline alignment throughout the approach and touchdown phases to reduce the large lateral deviation, and ensure a stabilized approach by controlling sink rate and lateral position before the 1,000 ft gate. These adjustments will help raise the overall landing score beyond the current 71.7 %.
