Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 26 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.
What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 0.2 ft, and this flight then touched down at 230 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,739 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,520 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at VTBD Don Mueang International Airport in Bangkok, Thailand. This process took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 03R, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 171 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 83°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 340°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile northeast of VTBD Don Mueang International Airport. The climb took place from an initial altitude of 1,056 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 34,488 feet, an increase of 33,432 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase began 40 miles south of Sattahip, Thailand, and lasted for 82 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 605 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 13 miles east of WMAU Mersing Airport in Mersing, Malaysia. The descent took place from a maximum altitude of 34,895 feet to an altitude of 1,311 feet, a decrease of 33,584 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 02L at WSSS Singapore Changi Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading at an angle of 23.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 02L, which had a length of 10,739 feet. The threshold height at 56 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 147 knots. The touchdown point was 174 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 141 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -312 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 81°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 340°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance was 4,010 feet, which was 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 798 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 138 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 13,112 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 02L at Singapore Changi Airport (WSSS) with a score of 98.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 23.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on the designated runway.
The threshold height at 56 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal approach path. However, the threshold speed of 147 knots was also slightly above the target, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly fast during the approach. Despite these minor deviations, the touchdown point was 174 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively acceptable margin.
The touchdown speed of 141 knots was a little fast, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly over-extended during the landing. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -312 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable descent rate during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 81°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 340°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind component was also minimal at 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable landing.
The total landing distance of 4,010 feet was 37% of the runway length, which is a relatively acceptable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft was able to come to a safe stop on the runway.
