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 five checks, where the approach path is 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 3,273 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 549 m 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 A350-900 aircraft. The journey began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 04L at Newark Liberty International Airport, KEWR, with a takeoff distance of 1,971 meters, which was 92% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 182 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Newark, it encountered local weather conditions of 1°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 308°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile south east of Newark and continued for 29 minutes, covering a distance of 242 nautical miles and an altitude increase of 31,917 feet from 1,050 feet above sea level to 32,968 feet above sea level.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 47 miles north of the EM02 Da Nang Static Carrier - CVN69 in Massachusetts, United States. This phase lasted for 78 minutes and covered a distance of 824 nautical miles. The aircraft then encountered another climb phase, which started 57 miles east of Catalina in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. This climb phase was relatively short, lasting only 2 minutes and covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to alternate between level cruise and climb phases, with each phase lasting for varying durations and covering different distances. The climb phases were typically short, lasting between 2-7 minutes, while the level cruise phases were longer, lasting between 16-588 minutes. The aircraft climbed to various altitudes, including 34,519 feet above sea level, 36,648 feet above sea level, and 39,000 feet above sea level.
The enroute descent phase started 12 miles south west of Kuala Kedah in Kedah, Malaysia, and continued for 23 minutes, covering a distance of 184 nautical miles and a descent of 23,318 feet from 40,755 feet above sea level to 17,438 feet above sea level. The aircraft then encountered another climb phase, which started 3 miles south west of Kuang in Selangor, Malaysia. This climb phase was relatively long, lasting 7 minutes and covering a distance of 53 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 02L at Singapore Changi Airport, WSSS, was made from the south, with a heading of 23.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,336 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 112 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 119 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -300 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The total landing distance was 1,219 meters, which was 37% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 25°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 360°, with a crosswind component of 3 knots and a headwind component of 7 knots. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 9,141 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 1,086 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 105,182 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A350-900 successfully landed on runway 02L at Singapore Changi Airport (WSSS) with a score of 95.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 23.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,336 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 126 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was 112 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 119 knots was good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing process.
The touchdown rate of -300 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, which is slightly higher than the ideal rate. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 7 knots at 360°, contributed to a relatively calm landing environment.
The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,219 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and adherence to standard operating procedures. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and touchdown point accuracy.
