Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,290 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 731 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight on the Airbus A320 began with a departure roll on runway 04 at RPVM Mactan Cebu International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,338 ft, which accounted for 12% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 87 °F with a 6 kn wind coming from 359 °, resulting in a 4 kn crosswind and a 4 kn headwind.
The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of the airport in Lapu-Lapu City, Central Visayas, Philippines. The aircraft climbed from 1,077 ft asl to 2,043 ft asl, gaining 965 ft in 2 minutes and covering 3 nm.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase 4 miles east of the airport. The cruise lasted 4 minutes and covered 7 nm.
The final approach to runway 04 at RPVM Mactan Cebu International Airport was from the southwest, heading at 46.0° at 2 nm and 948 ft agl. The landing on the 10,793 ft runway had a threshold height of 58 ft agl which was slightly above target. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 144 kn. The touchdown distance, speed, and rate were all good, with a -168 ft/m touchdown rate. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 27 ft from the centerline. The local weather at the time of landing was 86 °F with a 5 kn wind coming from 360 °, resulting in a 3 kn crosswind and a 3 kn headwind.
Overall, the total flight distance was 14 nm, taking 7 minutes and consuming 725 lbs of fuel.
