Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 23 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 23 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 23 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 5,784 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,784 ft of the 11,319 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,265 ft 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 09 at Ngurah Rai (Bali) International Airport, WADD. The takeoff distance was 5,701 feet, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 83 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 2 knots at 20 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was also 1 knot. After departing from Bali, the enroute climb started approximately 1 mile south east of Kuta, with the aircraft climbing from an altitude of 1,012 feet above sea level to 34,896 feet above sea level. This increase in altitude of 33,884 feet was achieved in 25 minutes and covered a distance of 155 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began at a latitude of -11.2619787 and a longitude of 115.8664295, lasting for 146 minutes and covering a distance of 1,112 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent approximately 24 miles north of YDWU Dalwallinu Airport Wongan Hills, State of Western Australia, Australia. The descent from 34,913 feet above sea level to 1,270 feet above sea level resulted in a decrease of 33,643 feet in 25 minutes and covered a distance of 129 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at Perth International Airport, YPPH, was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 193.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,197 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 21 was successful, with the touchdown point being 904 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 146 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -121 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at Perth International Airport were a temperature of 86 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 3 knots at 120 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 5,523 feet, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,405 nautical miles, taking a total of 208 minutes and using 18,930 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at YPPH Perth International Airport, achieving a score of 96.7%. The final approach to runway 21 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 193.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,197 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 146 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing conditions. The touchdown point was located 904 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance but still indicates a need for improvement in terms of precision.
The touchdown speed of 135 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the slightly above-target threshold speed. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -121 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing, ensuring a stable and smooth touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 86°F and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 120°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 5,523 feet was 49% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and stable exit from the runway.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 96.7%. However, there is still room for improvement in terms of precision and speed control, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and point.
