Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 0 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 15 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 34 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,829 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,829 m of the 4,131 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 337 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, the aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As it reached the runway, the aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 05R, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 167 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,373 meters accounted for 41% of the runway length, with a local temperature of 28°C and a gentle headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it passed through several phases of flight. The initial enroute climb from 1,052 feet above sea level to 33,027 feet took 25 minutes, covering a distance of 171 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 24 minutes and covering 200 nautical miles, before initiating a second climb phase to 39,444 feet. Following this, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, lasting 104 minutes and covering 886 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, passing through several level cruise phases before finally landing on runway 19L at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 139 knots, and the touchdown point was 126 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 135 knots was within acceptable limits, but the touchdown rate of -534 feet per minute was considered hard. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 34.5 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance of 1,953 meters accounted for 47% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,489 nautical miles, taking 213 minutes, and the aircraft used 17,727 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The final approach to runway 19L at VTBS Suvarnabhumi Airport from the north was executed with a heading of 195.0° at 3 nm and 937 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and threshold speed of 139 kt, indicating a well-controlled descent. The aircraft touched down 126 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 135 kt, which was within the acceptable range.
However, the touchdown characteristics were not ideal, with a very hard touchdown rate of -534 fpm. This may have been due to the aircraft's high rate of descent, which could be attributed to the pilot's decision to maintain a high approach speed. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 9.1 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 30 °C and a light wind of 2 kt at 300°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,953 m was 47% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 34.5 m from the centreline, indicating a loss of directional control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance scored 81.9%, indicating a satisfactory but not exceptional landing.
