Work on the flare
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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,492 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 269 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from RKSS Gimpo International Airport in Seoul, South Korea, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 14L, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,950-meter-long runway, which was utilized at 54% of its length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 163 knots, overcoming the local wind conditions of 2 knots at 290 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of RKSS, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,117 feet above sea level to 36,374 feet, an increase of 35,256 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 167 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 29 miles east of RKTB Paekado Helipad and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 386 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 36,466 feet to 731 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 181 nautical miles. The descent phase concluded with the aircraft entering the final approach to runway 22 at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport, aligning itself with the runway from the north-east at a heading of 213.0 degrees, 2 nautical miles from the threshold and at an altitude of 693 feet.
The Boeing 737-800 landed on runway 22, utilizing 47% of the 2,492-meter-long runway, with a touchdown distance of 264 meters and a touchdown speed of 144 knots, slightly above the recommended threshold speed. The aircraft's touchdown rate was heavy, at -708 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 741 nautical miles, with a flight time of 62 minutes and a fuel consumption of 4,341 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 22 at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach. The threshold speed of 140 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown distance of 264 m was satisfactory, but the touchdown speed of 144 kt was slightly above the recommended value, resulting in a heavy touchdown rate of -708 fpm.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the aircraft maintained perfect runway touchdown alignment, a testament to the crew's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13 °C and a moderate headwind of 5 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. The crosswind component of 7 kt was also well within manageable limits. The aircraft's performance was further demonstrated by its ability to maintain perfect runway rollout alignment, a key factor in ensuring a safe and controlled landing.
The overall performance of the Boeing 737-800 during the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 94.7%. The crew's ability to execute a smooth and controlled approach, despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, was a notable achievement. The aircraft's performance and the crew's skillful handling resulted in a safe and efficient landing, with a total landing distance of 1,174 m, which accounted for 47% of the runway length.
