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 2,036 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,036 m of the 3,885 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 559 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a British Aerospace 146-200, then departed from runway 01R at YBBN Brisbane International Airport. The takeoff distance was 850 meters, which is 24% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 132 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 10 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead YBBN Brisbane International Airport and climbing to an altitude of 26,416 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 36 nautical miles, took 12 minutes and resulted in an increase of 25,397 feet in altitude.
After the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile west of Beaudesert, Queensland. This cruise phase lasted for 47 minutes and covered a distance of 339 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles northwest of Spencer, New South Wales. This descent, which covered a distance of 48 nautical miles, took 9 minutes and resulted in a decrease of 22,642 feet in altitude.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 6 miles south of Bundeena, New South Wales. This cruise phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles east of Bundeena. This descent, which covered a distance of 4 nautical miles, took 2 minutes and resulted in a decrease of 1,361 feet in altitude.
The final approach to runway 34L at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 348.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,241 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 34L, which has a length of 3,885 meters. The threshold height at 67 feet above ground level was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 129 knots.
The touchdown point was 156 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 110 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -105 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 25 knots at a direction of 280 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 23 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,968 meters, which is 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took only 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 441 nautical miles, taking a total of 85 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,108 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The British Aerospace 146-200 aircraft successfully landed at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport on runway 34L. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 348.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,241 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was marked by a satisfactory threshold speed of 129 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
However, the threshold height at 67 feet agl was above the target, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach path. Despite this, the touchdown speed of 110 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -105 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown point was 156 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during future approaches. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, a wind speed of 25 knots at 280°, resulting in a crosswind of 23 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,968 meters was 51% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal approach path.
