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 six checks at 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 3,421 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,115 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Black Square King Air 350, then departed from runway 36 at RPVO Ormoc Airport. The takeoff distance was 750 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 123 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 359 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of RPVO Ormoc Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,094 feet above sea level to 4,107 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,012 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles west of RPVO Ormoc Airport and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Isabel, and descended from an altitude of 4,104 feet above sea level to 2,453 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,651 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles northwest of Consuelo and lasted for 15 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 04R at RPVM Mactan Cebu International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 45.0 degrees, at an altitude of 3 nautical miles and 1,755 feet above ground level.
However, the aircraft was required to perform a go-around at an altitude of 104 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 04R at RPVM Mactan Cebu International Airport, which has a length of 3,421 meters. The threshold height at 79 feet above ground level was well above the target, and the threshold speed was also well above the target at 117 knots.
The touchdown point was 677 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 84 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -69 feet per minute was excellent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 0 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,373 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.2 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 76 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 42 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 324 kilograms.
The aircraft, a King Air 350, successfully landed on runway 04R at RPVM Mactan Cebu International Airport. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 45.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,755 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the touchdown point located 677 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone.
The landing performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown speed of 84 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was also excellent, at -69 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
However, there were some areas for improvement. The threshold height at both 127 feet agl and 79 feet agl was excessively above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. Additionally, the threshold speed was well above the target at both 124 knots and 117 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was faster than necessary when reaching the runway threshold.
The total landing distance was 1,373 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway length. This was a relatively short landing distance, considering the runway length of 3,421 meters. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 0°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement in terms of threshold height and speed, as well as runway rollout alignment.
