Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 21 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 25 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 25 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 25 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 5,466 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,466 ft of the 11,248 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,734 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand. This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 20R, taking off with a takeoff distance of 7,388 feet, which was 56% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Suvarnabhumi Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 98°F and winds of 4 knots at 176°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of the airport and continued for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 113 nautical miles. During this time, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,091 feet above sea level to 35,802 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,712 feet.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 28 miles southwest of Huai Khot in Thailand. This phase lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 98 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 10 miles south of Tagondaing in Myanmar. The descent from 35,847 feet above sea level to 4,380 feet above sea level took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 106 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 10 miles west of Kayan in Myanmar and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 12 miles northeast of Yangon International Airport in Myanmar. The descent from 3,697 feet above sea level to 1,253 feet above sea level took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at Yangon International Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 213.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,168 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway length of 11,248 feet, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also good at 136 knots. However, the touchdown point was 359 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 129 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -160 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 87°F and winds of 1 knot at 219°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 5,191 feet, which was 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 341 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 69 minutes. The aircraft used 6,028 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Yangon International Airport, achieving a score of 97.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 213.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,168 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 21, which has a length of 11,248 feet.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 136 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, at a distance of 359 feet. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was a bit faster than ideal, but the touchdown rate of -160 feet per minute (fpm) was within acceptable limits.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 16 feet, which may have been due to minor deviations in the approach or landing technique. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 87°F and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 219°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind was minimal at 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 5,191 feet was within 46% of the runway length, which is a reasonable margin. The runway rollout alignment was excellent, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, maintaining a stable and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was executed with good control and precision, despite minor deviations in the touchdown point and speed.
