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 2,186 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,186 m of the 4,173 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 828 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hong Kong International Airport, the Airbus A300 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the designated runway, a process that took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway threshold, it initiated its departure roll on runway 07C, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 186 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,774 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway, was achieved in a relatively short period.
Following a smooth takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, ascending from 979 feet above sea level to 13,998 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 38 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 14 minutes and spanned 102 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb again, this time from 14,225 feet to 32,703 feet, an increase of 18,478 feet in 22 minutes, covering 187 nautical miles. The subsequent level cruise phase was the longest, lasting 321 minutes and covering 1,324 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, reducing its altitude from 32,999 feet to 1,639 feet in 21 minutes, covering 110 nautical miles.
The Airbus A300 finally touched down on runway 34L at Narita International Airport, with a touchdown point located 413 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly above the target, but the touchdown rate of -175 feet per minute was satisfactory. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also spot on. The total landing distance of 2,106 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway, was achieved with minimal deviation. Following a short taxiing period of 3 minutes, the aircraft came to a stop at the parking area, marking the end of its 1,773-nautical-mile journey, which had lasted 229 minutes and consumed 20,596 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 34L at RJAA Narita International Airport, a 4,173-meter long runway, with a threshold height of 62 feet above ground level, exceeding the target height. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a heading of 330.0° from the south east at 4 nautical miles and 1,482 feet above ground level. The threshold speed of 141 knots was slightly above the target, indicating a moderate level of control during the final stages of the approach.
The touchdown characteristics were acceptable, with a touchdown speed of 129 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate of -175 feet per minute was good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 5°C and a negligible wind of 1 knot at 0°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance of 2,106 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating a moderate level of control during the rollout phase. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 91.0%. While there were some minor deviations from the target values, the aircraft's handling and control were generally good, resulting in a safe and controlled landing.
