Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 13 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 5° of bank in the first climb segment and 0.8° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 146 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 158 kt, 12 kt above 146 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 146 kt at the threshold.
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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,193 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,193 m of the 4,173 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 847 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Osaka International Airport, RJOO, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 32L, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 1,912 meters, or 64% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 167 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 10°, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from RJOO, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south of Kawanishi, Japan, and continued to ascend to a maximum altitude of 34,913 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,841 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 143 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 16 miles southwest of Oyama, Japan, and lasted for 7 minutes, during which the aircraft covered an additional 68 nautical miles. Subsequently, the enroute descent phase started 10 miles south of RJTO Oshima Airport, Izu Oshima, Japan, and the aircraft descended from 35,003 feet to 1,439 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,564 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 139 nautical miles.
Upon reaching RJAA Narita International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 initiated its final approach to runway 34L from the southeast, heading 329.0° at an altitude of 1,290 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The aircraft landed on runway 34L, which had a length of 4,173 meters, and touched down 413 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 148 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -284 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 10.6 meters. Following a total landing distance of 2,095 meters, or 50% of the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 363 nautical miles, and the aircraft utilized 2,922 kilograms of fuel during the 78-minute flight.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 34L at RJAA Narita International Airport, a 4,173-meter long runway, after a final approach from the south east. The aircraft was established on the localizer at 4 nautical miles and 1,290 feet above ground level, heading 329.0 degrees. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 79 feet above ground level, well above the target, and a threshold speed of 158 knots, also above the target.
The touchdown point was located 413 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slightly long touchdown. The touchdown speed of 148 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -284 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.6 meters from the centreline, which was also reflected in the runway rollout alignment, which was slightly misaligned by 10.4 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a headwind of 13 knots, contributed to the aircraft's performance.
The total landing distance of 2,095 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 83.1%. However, there were some areas for improvement, including the touchdown speed and the runway alignment.
