Avoid steep turns at low altitude
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 1,997 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,997 m of the 2,998 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 707 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at RJCH Hakodate Airport, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 12, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,595 meters, which was 53% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 160°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of RJCH Hakodate Airport and lasted 19 minutes, during which the aircraft climbed from 1,101 feet above sea level to 35,947 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,846 feet. The climb covered a distance of 109 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 14 miles south east of Noshiro, Akita, Japan. This phase lasted 23 minutes and covered 154 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 1 mile south west of Funehikimachi-funehiki, Fukushima-ken, Japan. The descent from 36,260 feet above sea level to 8,344 feet above sea level took 20 minutes and covered 107 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north east of Yotsukaido, Chiba-ken, Japan. This phase lasted 7 minutes and covered 26 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent again, which started 2 miles west of Ohara, Chiba-ken, Japan. The descent from 7,944 feet above sea level to 4,477 feet above sea level took 5 minutes and covered 17 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started 7 miles south east of Kisarazu, Chiba-ken, Japan. This phase lasted 2 minutes and covered 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile south of Kisarazu, Chiba-ken, Japan. The descent from 4,006 feet above sea level to 1,309 feet above sea level took 3 minutes and covered 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34R at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport was made from the south east, with the aircraft heading 330.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 34R, which had a length of 2,998 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 143 knots.
The touchdown point was 294 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -104 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots at 60°, with a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,919 meters, which was 64% 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 435 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 87 minutes. The aircraft used 3,227 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport on runway 34R, achieving a score of 94.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 330.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed with a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 143 knots. This minor deviation from the target speed did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown point was 294 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly further down the runway than intended.
The touchdown speed of 136 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -104 feet per minute. This suggests that the aircraft's descent was controlled and stable, even if it was not perfectly aligned with the target speed. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.7 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 12 knots at 60°. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 0 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,919 meters, which is 64% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. While there were some minor deviations from the target speed and touchdown position, the landing was executed smoothly and safely.
