Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 138 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 159 kt, 21 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 138 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 25 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 25 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 25 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven 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 4,864 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 838 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Dubai International Airport (OMDB). This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 30L, with a takeoff distance of 970 meters, which is 27% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 159 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 43°C temperature and winds of 12 knots at 335°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. The enroute climb started overhead OMDB, with the aircraft ascending from 1,022 feet above sea level to 2,174 feet, an increase of 1,151 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 5 miles west of OMDB and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another climb 7 miles west of SB18, ascending from 2,155 feet to 24,340 feet, an increase of 22,186 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 4 miles southwest of OMSN, lasting for 12 minutes and covering 82 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent 12 miles west of OMAS, descending from 24,677 feet to 3,090 feet, a decrease of 21,587 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 62 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again 9 miles southeast of OTBK, lasting for 3 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 8 miles north of Doha, descending from 2,687 feet to 1,271 feet, a decrease of 1,417 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16L at Hamad International Airport (OTHH) was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 158.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,250 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 16L, which is 4,864 meters long. The threshold height was well above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 121 knots.
The touchdown point was 413 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 115 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -129 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 41°C temperature and winds of 13 knots at 90°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,363 meters, which is 28% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.1 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 225 nautical miles, taking 57 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,983 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at OTHH Hamad International Airport, but with some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 158.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,250 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 16L, which has a length of 4,864 meters.
The threshold height at 70 feet agl was found to be well above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than expected when reaching the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 121 knots, suggesting that the pilot maintained a suitable speed during the approach. The touchdown point was located 413 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively significant deviation. The touchdown speed of 115 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, which may have contributed to the extended touchdown point.
The touchdown rate was smooth at -129 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the aircraft touched down with minimal impact. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the landing roll. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 41°C and a wind speed of 13 knots at 90°, resulting in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,363 meters, which is approximately 28% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, considering the aircraft's weight and the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the landing roll or the aircraft's braking performance.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but with some minor deviations from the ideal parameters. The pilot's performance was good, considering the challenging weather conditions and the aircraft's performance. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more accurate approach and touchdown point, as well as ensuring a more precise runway rollout alignment.
