Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to track the centreline.
What happened: The aircraft drifted off the centreline during the landing roll.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings aligned with the runway centreline

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 4,111 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 483 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Macau International Airport, the Boeing 737-900 began its journey with a taxiing period of 4 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. As it reached the runway, it initiated the departure roll on runway 16, utilizing 43% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 150 knots, overcoming a headwind of 3 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it traversed a distance of 255 nautical miles in 37 minutes, ascending from 993 feet above sea level to 37,658 feet. The enroute climb phase was followed by a series of level cruises, with the first lasting 20 minutes and covering 139 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 38,004 feet to 35,993 feet in 3 minutes, covering 24 nautical miles. The subsequent level cruise phase lasted 121 minutes, covering 864 nautical miles. The aircraft continued its descent, decreasing its altitude from 36,005 feet to 4,509 feet in 23 minutes, covering 159 nautical miles. The final descent phase saw the aircraft reduce its altitude from 4,435 feet to 1,377 feet in 2 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Kuala Lumpur International Airport, it initiated the final approach to runway 32R from the south-east, aligning itself with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,313 feet above ground level. The landing was executed successfully, with the aircraft touching down 61 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 128 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -160 feet per minute, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 947 meters, accounting for 23% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 2 minutes. The total flight distance was 1,481 nautical miles, with a flight time of 221 minutes and a fuel consumption of 10,265 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 32R at WMKK Kuala Lumpur International Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 137 kt was also satisfactory, demonstrating the crew's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and airspeed. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown speed of 128 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -160 fpm was also good, indicating a controlled and stable landing.
The touchdown point was located 61 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, was still within a reasonable distance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the final stages of the landing. However, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a light wind of 2 kt at 50 °, were generally favourable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 947 m was 23% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the crew maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 98.3%, reflecting the crew's skill and attention to detail.
