Arrival
Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.
What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 9.8 m off the centreline.
Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout

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 3,621 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 475 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Kaohsiung International Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 09, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 29 °C and a gentle wind of 5 knots from a direction of 170 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind component. With a liftoff speed of 157 knots, the aircraft successfully took off, covering a distance of 2,020 meters, which represented 79% of the available runway length.
As the aircraft climbed away from Kaohsiung, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile east of the airport and continued for 19 minutes, during which time it ascended from 1,110 feet above sea level to 33,872 feet, an increase of 32,761 feet. This climb phase covered a distance of 115 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 34 miles south east of Jieshi, China, and continued for 25 minutes, during which time it descended from 34,012 feet to 2,433 feet, a decrease of 31,579 feet. This descent phase covered a distance of 149 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a final level cruise phase, which lasted 4 minutes and covered 14 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Hong Kong International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 07C, which was aligned with a heading of 71.0 degrees. The aircraft touched down 172 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 135 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -276 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline. Following a total landing distance of 1,315 meters, which represented 38% of the available runway length, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 415 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 3,143 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted a total of 74 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 07C at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport, a 3,452-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the south west. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 76 feet above ground level (agl) that was well above the target, indicating a stable and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 139 knots was good, demonstrating a well-executed approach.
The touchdown point was 172 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 135 knots was a little fast, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -276 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind of 8 knots at 119 degrees, resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,315 meters was 38% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position. Overall, the landing performance scored 85.5%, reflecting a good but not exceptional performance.
