Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,995 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,129 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 04R at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport, where the A400M aircraft took off after covering a distance of 3,709 feet, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 63 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 2 miles northwest of Honolulu, rising from an altitude of 1,033 feet above sea level to 29 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,004 feet in just 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The climb was a smooth and efficient one, setting the stage for the rest of the flight.
However, the flight was not without its challenges. A go-around was initiated at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport, with the aircraft taking off from a height of 21 feet above ground level. The final approach to runway 04R was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at an angle of 47.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,023 feet above ground level, 3 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing itself was a complex one, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 152 knots, which was slightly too fast. The touchdown distance was good, covering 1,138 feet of the runway, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 244 degrees.
The total landing distance was 4,020 feet, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 12 nautical miles, and the flight used a total of 52,285 pounds of fuel.
The A400M aircraft successfully landed on runway 04R at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport, achieving a score of 89.5%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 47.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,023 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, with a perfect runway touchdown alignment.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a distance of 1,138 feet, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 152 knots was slightly too fast, indicating that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more optimal speed during the approach. The touchdown rate of -485 feet per minute (fpm) was also considered hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight jolt upon touchdown.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 158 knots. This may indicate that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more optimal speed during the approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 244°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind component was minimal at 2 knots.
The total landing distance of 4,020 feet was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained good control and precision during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly with regards to touchdown speed and rate.
