Flight Score
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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,845 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,835 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.

The flight in the Cessna CJ4 Citation began with a 10-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport. The departure roll was from runway 22, with a takeoff distance of 2,489 ft, covering 30% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 kn.
The enroute climb started over Tokyo Haneda International Airport, climbing from 1,080 ft to 42,349 ft, covering 60 nm in 18 minutes. The enroute level cruise began near Heda, lasting 7 minutes and covering 28 nm.
The descent started near Fujieda, descending from 42,662 ft to 23,331 ft over 13 minutes and covering 42 nm. Subsequent level cruising started near Okazaki for 7 minutes, covering 25 nm. Another descent began near Ishiki, descending from 23,394 ft to 5,766 ft over 14 minutes and covering 58 nm.
The flight then leveled off near Tawaramoto for 15 minutes, covering 12 nm before another descent near Gose, dropping from 5,085 ft to 3,791 ft in 2 minutes and covering 7 nm. A brief level cruise near Gose followed for 6 minutes, covering 21 nm.
The final approach to runway 32L at RJOO Osaka International Airport from the southeast saw the aircraft at 1,742 ft agl with a slight misalignment in the touchdown position. The runway was 9,845 ft long, with a slightly below target threshold speed of 102 kn. The touchdown point was slightly past the designated zone, with a heavy touchdown rate. The touchdown speed was at 90 kn, and the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 63 ft from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 3,043 ft, covering 31% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 65 ft. Finally, the taxi from the runway to the parking area took 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a distance of 263 nm, lasting 92 minutes and using 1,712 lbs of fuel.
