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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,580 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,580 m of the 3,409 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 677 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at RJFK Kagoshima Airport, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. Departure roll occurred on runway 34, with the aircraft taking off after covering 55% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,659 meters, and the liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at a direction of 99°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of RJFK Kagoshima Airport and ascending from an altitude of 1,882 feet above sea level to 37,518 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,636 feet in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 101 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles southeast of RJFE Fukue Airport and lasted for 38 minutes, covering a distance of 281 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting at a latitude of 31.5084547 and a longitude of 123.537965, and descending from 37,663 feet above sea level to 3,131 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,532 feet in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 88 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 11 miles east of ZYAP Yangpu Airport and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 5 miles east of ZYAP Yangpu Airport and descending from 3,050 feet above sea level to 1,301 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,749 feet in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17R at ZSPD Shanghai Pudong International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading at 162.0° and at an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level. The landing occurred on runway 17R, which had a length of 3,409 meters. The threshold height at 81 feet above ground level was significantly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 128 knots.
The touchdown point was 254 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 116 knots and a touchdown rate of -172 feet per minute, both of which were good. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 170°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,493 meters, which was 44% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 492 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 95 minutes. The aircraft used 3,407 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at ZSPD Shanghai Pudong International Airport on runway 17R, achieving an overall score of 87.6%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 162.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 254 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center. However, the touchdown speed of 116 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -172 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory. The threshold height at 81 feet agl was significantly above the target, but the threshold speed of 128 knots was good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 170°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 8 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,493 meters was 44% of the available runway length of 3,409 meters. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for safe deceleration. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll.
Overall, while there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, the Airbus A319 aircraft landed safely and efficiently at ZSPD Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
