Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,326 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,396 ft touchdown sits inside 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 19R at RJCC New Chitose Airport in Sapporo, Japan. The takeoff distance was 4,654 feet, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 166 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 60°F and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 180°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 16 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of RJCC New Chitose Airport and reaching an altitude of 28,820 feet above sea level (asl) after climbing 27,729 feet in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 72 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a brief level cruise period, which started 10 miles west of Honcho, Hokkaido, Japan, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 29,220 feet asl to 32,433 feet asl, an increase of 3,212 feet in 5 minutes and covering 38 nautical miles. This climb started 11 miles west of Kamiiso, Hokkaido, Japan.
The enroute level cruise period that followed was the longest of the flight, lasting 76 minutes and covering a distance of 1,659 nautical miles. This cruise period started 21 miles northwest of Shimokizukuri, Aomori-ken, Japan. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 33 miles southeast of Jieshi, Guangdong Sheng, China, and descending from 35,243 feet asl to 5,138 feet asl, a decrease of 30,105 feet in 18 minutes and covering 98 nautical miles.
The enroute descent was followed by another brief level cruise period, which started 2 miles northeast of Sai Kung, Sai Kung District, Hong Kong, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile north of Sha Tin, Sha Tin, Hong Kong, and descending from 4,698 feet asl to 1,397 feet asl, a decrease of 3,301 feet in 3 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25C at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport was made from the east, heading 251.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,358 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,405 feet and a touchdown speed of 129 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -216 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 276°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 3,180 feet, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,902 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 136 minutes. The aircraft used 31,434 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Hong Kong International Airport (VHHH) on runway 25C. The final approach was executed from the east, heading 251.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,358 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 132 knots, registering at 129 knots. This minor deviation from the target speed did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The touchdown distance of 1,405 feet was within acceptable limits, demonstrating a well-executed landing. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was also good, indicating a controlled and stable touchdown.
However, the touchdown rate of -216 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. A more ideal touchdown rate would be closer to -150 to -200 fpm, which would have resulted in a smoother and more controlled touchdown. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from 276°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 3,180 feet was 28% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to land smoothly and efficiently, with minimal use of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating a well-executed landing and a smooth transition from the landing phase to the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with a score of 99.8%.
