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.
Side view — the last 1,735 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,735 m of the 3,731 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 736 m past the threshold — beyond 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 09 at RCKH Kaohsiung International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,736 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 144 degrees.
The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile east of RCKH Kaohsiung International Airport. The climb was from an altitude of 1,033 feet above sea level to 33,030 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,997 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 123 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 90 miles southwest of RCCM Qimei. This phase lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 107 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 35 miles south of Jiazi, China. The descent was from 33,030 feet above sea level to 11,248 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,783 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 83 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 26 miles southeast of Sai Kung, Hong Kong. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 22 miles southeast of VHXG Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport. The descent was from 11,262 feet above sea level to 1,324 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,938 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 44 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07L at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport was from the southwest, with a heading of 71.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,289 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 319 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -212 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 80 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,653 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 377 nautical miles, taking 97 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,296 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Hong Kong International Airport (VHHH) on runway 07L. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 71.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good approach speed, touching down at 126 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 319 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate of -212 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating that the aircraft could have been slowed down more efficiently during the landing roll. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 80°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots, which had a minimal impact on the landing. The aircraft's performance was not significantly affected by the wind conditions.
The total landing distance of 1,653 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll and was able to bring it to a stop in a stable and aligned manner.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 90.0%. The pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and landing, and the aircraft performed well in the given weather conditions.
