Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 183 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,121 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 505 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Marshall Islands International Airport (PKMJ), the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 07, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 1,592 meters, which equated to 66% of the runway length, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 153 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 32°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots at a direction of 28°, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile east of PKMJ, and continued until it reached a cruising altitude of 34,953 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 173 nautical miles and took 26 minutes to complete, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 33,998 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 221 minutes and covered a distance of 1,717 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a descent phase, which started approximately 69 miles south of Po'ipu, Hawaii, and continued until the aircraft reached a cruising altitude of 2,176 feet above sea level. This descent phase covered a distance of 90 nautical miles and took 15 minutes to complete.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Daniel K Inouye International Airport (PHNL), it began its final approach to runway 04L, which was aligned with a heading of 53.0°. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 130 knots, which was slightly above the target speed, and with a touchdown rate of -204 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 1,148 meters, which equated to 54% of the runway length. Following touchdown, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,000 nautical miles, and the aircraft used a total of 11,608 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted for 281 minutes.
The final approach to runway 04L at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport from the southwest was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 53.0° at 4 nm and 1,308 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 138 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was 88 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 130 kt was a little fast. The touchdown rate of -204 fpm was fair, indicating a moderate deceleration upon touchdown. Notably, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill in maintaining a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 30 °C and a 10 kt headwind, did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,148 m was 54% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, resulting in a score of 98.5%.
