Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 6.4 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 2.7° of bank in the first climb segment and 2.6° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
Make one smooth, continuous back-pressure input through the flare, holding that pressure once the sink is arrested instead of re-pumping the elevator.
What happened: The flare was pumped, with the pitch reversing direction several times as the sink was arrested at 19 ft and then 388 fpm of sink came back; a flare flown this way usually ends in a bounce at touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, continuous reduction of sink through the flare with no reversals.
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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,576 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,576 m of the 2,505 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 843 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 08 at the Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,084 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 124 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was also 2 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northwest of Dili, East Timor, and involved a significant ascent from 1,031 feet above sea level to 38,513 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,481 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 136 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 73 miles north of Kisar Island, Indonesia. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 91 nautical miles. The enroute descent began at a specific latitude and longitude, and involved a descent from 38,486 feet above sea level to 1,328 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,159 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 98 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04 at Pattimura International Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 45.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,286 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 04 was successful, with the touchdown point being 425 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was considered good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -240 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots at 299 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the tailwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,494 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total flight distance was 331 nautical miles, taking 47 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,372 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at WAPP Pattimura International Airport, achieving a score of 90.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 45.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,286 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 04, which has a length of 2,505 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 425 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 130 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate of -240 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a slightly higher than ideal rate of descent. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 299°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,494 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining to safely stop after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and a very good runway touchdown alignment. However, the touchdown rate was slightly higher than ideal, and the aircraft touched down beyond the touchdown zone.
