Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 7.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,595 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 622 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna Skyhawk took off from runway 32R at RKSS Gimpo International Airport, a major airport in Seoul, South Korea. The aircraft rolled down the runway, covering a distance of 1,159 meters, which is 32% of the runway's total length. The liftoff speed was 65 knots, a moderate speed for a Cessna Skyhawk. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from the northwest.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 2 miles northwest of RKSS Gimpo International Airport. The climb started from an altitude of 1,023 feet above sea level and reached a height of 1,531 feet, an increase of 508 feet in just 1 minute. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The climb was a smooth and efficient one, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude quickly.
After completing the enroute climb, the aircraft entered its level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. This phase of the flight was characterized by a steady altitude and a consistent airspeed.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 14L at RKSS Gimpo International Airport. The approach was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 130 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,138 feet above ground level at this point.
The landing on runway 14L was a smooth one, with the aircraft touching down 180 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 54 knots, which is within the recommended range for a Cessna Skyhawk. The touchdown rate was also smooth, at -122 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at the time of takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from the northwest. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 1 knot.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 17 nautical miles and lasted for 11 minutes. The aircraft used 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight, a relatively small amount considering the distance covered. Overall, the flight was a smooth and efficient one, with the aircraft performing well in a variety of conditions.
The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at RKSS Gimpo International Airport, achieving a score of 90.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 130.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,138 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach to runway 14L was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down 180 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 54 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a well-controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -122 feet per minute (fpm) was also smooth, suggesting a gentle and stable landing.
However, there were some areas for improvement. The threshold height at 66 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high on its approach. Additionally, the threshold speed of 74 knots was too high, suggesting that the pilot may have been unable to fully arrest the aircraft's descent before reaching the runway.
Despite these minor issues, the overall performance of the Cessna Skyhawk was impressive. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, were relatively calm, which likely contributed to the smooth landing.
Overall, the Cessna Skyhawk's landing at RKSS Gimpo International Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
