Flight Score
Arrival
Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 5 ft.
What happened: The flare began late at 5 ft, below the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter approaching 11 ft as the cue to start the flare.
See Arrival Landing
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 152 m gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,711 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,711 m of the 3,273 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 509 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 56 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 21L at VTBD Don Mueang International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,870 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 30°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 297 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of VTLA Lak Si Airport, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 288 meters above sea level to 11,881 meters above sea level, an increase of 11,592.8 meters in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 138 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 55 miles southwest of VTKC Ko Chang Tai Airport. This phase lasted for 65 minutes, covering a distance of 492 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 68 miles east of Cukai, Malaysia. The descent from 11,880 meters above sea level to 7,312 meters above sea level, a decrease of 4,567.9 meters, took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 65 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 33 miles northeast of WMBT Tioman Airport. This phase lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 28 miles east of WMBT Tioman Airport. The descent from 7,312 meters above sea level to 386 meters above sea level, a decrease of 6,926.1 meters, took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 97 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20R at WSSS Singapore Changi Airport was made from the north, heading 203.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 377.8 meters above ground level. The landing on runway 20R was successful, with a touchdown point 87 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 125 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -0.7 meters per second.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 31°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 265 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,624 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 13 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 812 nautical miles, taking 161 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,444 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Singapore Changi Airport's runway 20R with a score of 96.1%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 203.0° at an altitude of 377.8 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot maintained a good threshold height and speed, touching down at 131 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 87 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 125 knots was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was also smooth at -0.7 meters per second. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 9.4 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 31°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from 265°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. As a result, the total landing distance of 1,624 meters was only 50% of the available runway length of 3,273 meters.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centerline by 8.5 meters. Despite this minor deviation, the landing was considered successful, and the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were demonstrated to be satisfactory.
