Shorten the long landing
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,173 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 373 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an RJ100, then departed from runway 36R at RKPK Gimhae International Airport in Busan, South Korea. The takeoff distance was 1,054 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 136 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead RKPK Gimhae International Airport. The climb took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 69 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,010 feet above sea level to 25,011 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,001 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. This phase started 25 miles southeast of Yeosu, South Korea. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 30 miles south of Yeosu. The descent took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 41 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 24,315 feet above sea level to 9,351 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,964 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles. This phase started 32 miles northeast of RKPD Jeongseok Airport on Jeju Island, South Korea. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 24 miles northeast of RKPD Jeongseok Airport. The descent took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 29 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 9,387 feet above sea level to 1,361 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,026 feet.
The final approach to runway 25 at RKPC Jeju International Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 239.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 108 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -132 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 239 degrees.
The total landing distance was 717 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The aircraft then began its taxiing period from the runway to the parking, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 174 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 55 minutes. The aircraft used 1,578 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The RJ100 aircraft successfully landed at RKPC Jeju International Airport, achieving a remarkable score of 99.2%. The final approach to runway 25 was conducted from the north east, aligning with the heading of 239.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated excellent control, touching down on the runway with a speed of 119 knots, which was within the threshold speed requirements. The touchdown distance of 374 meters was also well within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 108 knots was also satisfactory, and the rate of descent was a smooth -132 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a gentle headwind of 6 knots from the same direction as the aircraft's heading. This minimal crosswind component of 0 knots allowed for a stable and controlled approach. The runway length of 3,173 meters provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely.
The total landing distance of 717 meters was only 23% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's exceptional skill and control. Overall, this landing was a testament to the aircraft's capabilities and the pilot's expertise, resulting in a nearly flawless score of 99.2%.
