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 1,887 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,887 m of the 3,290 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 689 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 02 at RPVI Iloilo International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,420 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 3 degrees.
The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south east of Cabatuan in the Western Visayas, Philippines. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,170 feet above sea level to 15,507 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,336 feet in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles east of RPVB Bacolod-Silay Airport in Bacolod City, Western Visayas, Philippines. This phase lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile north of RPHA Refugio Airstrip in Hacienda Refugio, Western Visayas, Philippines. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 15,527 feet above sea level to 1,388 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,138 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 04 at RPVM Mactan Cebu International Airport from the south west, heading at an angle of 45.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,348 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 04, which had a length of 3,290 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 134 knots.
The touchdown point was 266 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 119 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -102 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at a direction of 319 degrees. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,799 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft took 2 minutes to taxi to the parking from the runway, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 99 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 36 minutes. The aircraft used 1,643 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at RPVM Mactan Cebu International Airport, achieving a high score of 95.7%. The final approach to runway 04 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 45.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,348 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 134 knots. The touchdown point was located 266 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance. The touchdown speed of 119 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -102 feet per minute was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 319°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 1 knot, which did not significantly impact the landing. The runway length of 3,290 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance, which was 1,799 meters, or 55% of the runway.
The runway rollout alignment was excellent, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop safely and efficiently.
