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 6.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 360 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hong Kong International Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the designated runway, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 07C, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 1,973 meters, which equated to 57% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a liftoff speed of 166 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 6 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Hong Kong, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile northeast of the airport. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from an initial altitude of 1,032 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 35,110 feet, an increase of 34,078 feet in just 22 minutes, covering a distance of 148 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 122 minutes and covered a distance of 1,006 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place approximately 20 miles north of Heyuan, China. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 74 miles west of Taean Airport, South Korea, and saw the aircraft descend from 35,121 feet to 1,277 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,844 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 123 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Incheon International Airport, it entered the final approach phase, descending from 1,258 feet above ground level to 1 foot above ground level in just 5 seconds. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly above the recommended value, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -311 feet per minute. The touchdown distance of 360 meters was, however, considered good. Following touchdown, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 1,289 nautical miles was achieved in 176 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 7,026 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to landing at Incheon International Airport was executed with precision, with the aircraft descending from 1,258 feet above ground level (agl) to touch down safely on the runway. The approach quality was excellent, with a steady and controlled descent throughout the 1-nautical-mile (nm) final approach segment. The aircraft maintained a stable altitude, gradually decreasing from 39 feet agl to touch down at 0 feet agl in a mere 5 seconds, demonstrating a high level of pilot skill and situational awareness.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly above the recommended threshold, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -311 feet per minute (fpm). However, the touchdown distance of 360 meters was well within the acceptable range, indicating a good balance between speed and control. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 40 degrees, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The landing rollout was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude of 3 feet above sea level (asl) as it traversed the runway. The distance covered during the rollout was 638 meters, a testament to the pilots' ability to control the aircraft's speed and direction. Overall, the landing was scored at 99.0%, a reflection of the high level of proficiency and skill demonstrated by the pilots during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
