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.

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 5,407 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,407 ft of the 10,739 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,268 ft 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 A380 aircraft, departing from Sheremetyevo International Airport (UUEE) in Russia. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 06R, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 160 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 37°F, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 19°.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,594 feet above sea level to 33,320 feet, an increase of 31,725 feet in just 23 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 94 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 78 minutes and covered a distance of 838 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place approximately 10 miles south of Zaraysk in the Moscow Oblast, Russia.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering another enroute climb phase from 34,298 feet to 36,052 feet, an increase of 1,753 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 26 nautical miles and took place approximately 36 miles west of Shalkar Airport in Kazakhstan. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 35 minutes and covered a distance of 589 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its climb to higher altitudes, ascending from 37,660 feet to 39,240 feet, an increase of 1,579 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 12 nautical miles and took place approximately 17 miles north-west of Dzhar-Tepe Airport in Uzbekistan. The aircraft then entered a long level cruise phase, which lasted for 309 minutes and covered a distance of 2,968 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place approximately 6 miles north of Ishbulak North Airport in Uzbekistan.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 40,471 feet to 1,404 feet, a decrease of 39,067 feet in just 23 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 99 nautical miles and took place approximately 4 miles west of Muar in Malaysia. The aircraft then entered the final approach phase, aligning itself with runway 02L at Singapore Changi Airport from the south.
The aircraft landed on runway 02L, with a touchdown point located 898 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -206 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 79°F, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 71°.
The total landing distance was 5,137 feet, which was 48% of the runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,636 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 487 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 244,840 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A380 has successfully landed at Singapore Changi Airport, achieving a score of 95.9%. The aircraft was approaching runway 02L from the south, heading 23.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,349 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on the runway.
Upon landing, the threshold height was found to be good, indicating that the aircraft touched down at the correct height above the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots, which may be a minor concern. The touchdown point was 898 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance, but it could be improved upon.
The touchdown speed of 130 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and maintain control. However, the touchdown rate of -206 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown. This could be due to various factors, including the aircraft's weight, the runway's surface, or the pilot's technique.
Despite the minor concerns, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 79°F and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 71°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each, which made the landing even smoother.
The total landing distance of 5,137 feet was 48% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and safely after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and align itself with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Airbus A380's landing at Singapore Changi Airport was a success, with a score of 95.9%. While there were some minor concerns, the aircraft was able to touch down safely and maintain control throughout the landing phase.
