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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,610 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,610 m of the 3,421 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 850 m 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 WAMM Sam Ratulangi Airport, taking approximately 4 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 36, with the takeoff distance covering 58% of the runway at 1,547 meters. The liftoff speed was 152 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 26°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 240°.
As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of WAMM Sam Ratulangi Airport. The climb was from an initial altitude of 1,217 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 33,730 feet, an increase of 32,513 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 148 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 22 miles northwest of WAMH Naha Airport, lasting 18 minutes and covering 144 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 5 miles east of RPKI Kipalbig Airport, climbing from 33,982 feet to 35,696 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 3 miles southeast of Columbio, lasting 13 minutes and covering 102 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 5 miles north of Talakag, descending from 35,855 feet to 1,283 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 123 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04R at RPVM Mactan Cebu International Airport was from the southwest, with a heading of 43.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,255 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 04R, which was 3,421 meters long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was good at 139 knots, and the touchdown point was 435 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, and the touchdown rate was good at -178 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 28°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 50°.
The total landing distance was 1,531 meters, covering 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking approximately 1 minute to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 538 nautical miles, taking 83 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,693 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 04R at RPVM Mactan Cebu International Airport, achieving a high score of 90.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 43.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height.
The threshold speed was also satisfactory, reaching 139 knots, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe landing. The touchdown point was located 435 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 50°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the aircraft experienced a headwind of 4 knots, which helped to stabilize the approach. The total landing distance of 1,531 meters was 45% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft came to a stop safely on the runway. The high score achieved by the Airbus A320 is a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
