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 7.7 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.
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.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,011 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 569 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A350-900 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 07R at Hong Kong International Airport (VHHH), with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 164 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the tailwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile north of Tung Chung, where the aircraft ascended from 1,036 feet above sea level to 13,259 feet above sea level, an increase of 12,223 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles, before initiating another climb from 13,993 feet above sea level to 24,705 feet above sea level, an increase of 10,713 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 39 nautical miles. This was followed by a prolonged level cruise phase, lasting 86 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile, before the aircraft began another climb from 24,705 feet above sea level to 40,997 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,292 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 106 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 45 minutes and covering 349 nautical miles, before initiating a descent from 41,007 feet above sea level to 1,331 feet above sea level, a decrease of 39,676 feet in 29 minutes, covering a distance of 146 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 35 at Miyako Shimojishima Airport (RORS) was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 346.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,286 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 35 was successful, with the touchdown point being 146 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 119 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was hard at -485 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,333 meters, which was 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 683 nautical miles, taking 115 minutes, and the aircraft used 10,068 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A350-900 aircraft successfully landed at RORS Miyako Shimojishima Airport, with a score of 84.2%. The final approach to runway 35 was initiated from the south, heading 346.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,286 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 35, which has a length of 3,011 meters. The threshold height at 87 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high during the approach. However, the threshold speed was good at 125 knots, suggesting that the pilot maintained a suitable speed for landing.
The touchdown point was 146 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 119 knots was also good, indicating that the pilot managed to slow down the aircraft effectively. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -485 feet per minute (fpm), which may have been due to the aircraft's high speed at touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°, and a crosswind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,333 meters, which is 44% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot managed to slow down the aircraft effectively. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, while there were some minor deviations during the landing, the pilot managed to execute a safe and relatively smooth landing, with a score of 84.2%.
