Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 170 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 81 kt fast at 251 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 170 kt in the climb
Arrival
Be established on the glideslope by the gate, and take the power back earlier on final so the height and the speed come back together. Do not push down for the height: that only adds speed.
What happened: The approach was off the glideslope at the gate, and the aircraft then crossed the threshold at 105 ft agl, 55 ft agl above the 50 ft agl target, and at 155 kt, 19 kt over the 136 kt threshold speed. High and fast together is energy the runway has to absorb, and this touchdown came 266 m beyond the aim point.
Watch for: Glideslope indication at the gate, then airspeed: 136 kt on short final
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 500 ft gate: glideslope 4.6° against the runway's 3° and speed 22 kt FAST on the reference speed of 136 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,112 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 723 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The 1.80 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320neo departed VYYY Yangon International Airport on runway 21, using a take-off roll of 1,503 m which represented 44 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 166 kt. Ambient conditions were 17 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced 2 nm south-west of VYYY, where the aircraft accelerated from 1,030 ft asl to 30,969 ft asl, gaining 29,939 ft in 11 minutes while covering 61 nm.
Cruise was segmented several times. The first level segment began 9 nm south-east of Thanatpin and lasted 12 minutes for a distance of 80 nm. A second cruise started 39 nm south-east of VTCS Mae Sariang Airport, lasting 2 minutes and covering 9 nm. The third cruise originated 26 nm south of Chom Thong, lasted 2 minutes and spanned 8 nm. The final cruise segment began 12 nm south of Pa Sang, persisted for 12 minutes and covered 54 nm.
Descent was also broken into four portions. The initial descent began 34 nm north-east of VYPA Hpa-N Airport, dropping from 31,001 ft asl to 19,063 ft asl - a loss of 11,938 ft in 5 minutes over 33 nm. The next descent started 34 nm south of Chom Thong, descending from 19,006 ft asl to 14,080 ft asl, a decrease of 4,925 ft in 2 minutes across 9 nm. A further descent commenced 21 nm south of Chom Thong, falling from 13,066 ft asl to 8,077 ft asl, a loss of 4,988 ft in 3 minutes while covering 16 nm. The final descent began 10 nm north of VTSI San Sai Airport, reducing altitude from 7,993 ft asl to 2,641 ft asl - a decrease of 5,352 ft in 5 minutes for 18 nm.
During final approach to runway 18 at VTCC Chiang Mai International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,663 ft agl to 174 ft agl in 86 seconds and achieved the required stabilisation gate scores.
Landing on runway 18 was executed with a runway length of 3,112 m. The threshold height at 105 ft agl was noted as excessively over target and the threshold speed was well above target at 156 kt. Touchdown occurred 286 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 146 kt and a heavy touchdown rate of minus 660 fpm. Alignment at touchdown was very good. Local weather at the time was 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, a cross-wind of 1 kt and no head-wind. Total landing distance measured 1,311 m, representing 42 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
Rollout proceeded without deviation, maintaining the perfect alignment noted at touchdown.
Taxi-in to the parking area required 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 295 nm, required 62 minutes of airborne time and consumed 1,118 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320neo executed a stabilised approach at the 1,000 ft gate to runway 18 at VTCC Chiang Mai International Airport, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits, and the descent from 1,663 ft agl to 174 ft agl was completed in 86 seconds, earning a stabilisation-gate score.
At threshold the aircraft was excessively high, with the threshold height measured at 105 ft agl over the target, and the threshold speed was well above target at 156 kt.
Touchdown occurred 286 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 146 kt that was fast, a heavy touchdown rate of minus 660 fpm, and runway-touchdown alignment described as very good.
Rollout alignment was perfect, the total landing distance was 1,311 m representing 42 % of the 3,112 m runway, and the local weather was 15 °C with wind 1 kt from 270°, crosswind 1 kt and headwind 0 kt.
To refine future landings, aim to achieve the target threshold height and reduce the threshold speed to bring the aircraft closer to the intended glide path, and adjust the flare to moderate the sink rate and touchdown speed, which will help lower the heavy touchdown rate while maintaining the strong alignment already demonstrated.
