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.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,707 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 696 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A320 started with a 7-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at LFRS Nantes Atlantique Airport. The departure roll on runway 21 covered 1,509 meters, which was 56% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 155 knots. The local weather at takeoff was 14°C with a wind speed of 23 knots coming from 280°, resulting in a crosswind of 22 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The enroute climb began 1 mile west of Pont-Saint-Martin, climbing from 1,076 ft asl to 32,971 ft asl over 21 minutes and covering a distance of 155 nm. The subsequent level cruise phase started over Villiers-le-Morhier and lasted for 25 minutes, covering 229 nm. Another climb phase began 1 mile north of Wirschweiler, ascending from 33,195 ft asl to 35,229 ft asl in 4 minutes, covering 39 nm. This was followed by a level cruise phase over EDFZ Mainz-Finthen Airfield Mainz, lasting 18 minutes and covering 160 nm.
The enroute descent started 3 miles north of Tirschenreuth, descending from 35,214 ft asl to 2,455 ft asl over 18 minutes and covering 79 nm. The final approach to runway 24 at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague came from the northeast at a heading of 245.0°, 4 nm out and at 1,256 ft agl. The landing was on runway 24, with good threshold height and speed of 141 knots. The touchdown point was 277 meters beyond the designated zone, with a touchdown speed of 128 knots and a descent rate of -175 ft/min. The total landing distance was 1,325 m, which was 36% of the runway length.
After landing, the taxi to the parking area took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 669 nm, with a total duration of 99 minutes and fuel consumption of 4,364 kg. Overall, the flight was conducted smoothly with good handling during takeoff, enroute phases, descent, and landing, despite varying weather conditions.
Firstly, congratulations on achieving an impressive aircraft landing score of 96.9%! This is a remarkable feat and reflects your exceptional skills and expertise as a pilot.
Let's delve into the detailed analysis of each phase of the landing to understand what contributed to this outstanding performance.
During the Approach Phase, your excellent glideslope alignment indicates a precise and smooth descent towards the runway, ensuring a stable approach. Your threshold speed of 141 knots was on point, demonstrating a good control of the aircraft's speed and descent rate as you prepared for touchdown.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, your good threshold height suggests that you maintained the correct altitude above the runway, enabling a safe and effective transition from descent to touchdown. The fact that you executed a good landing flare indicates a smooth and controlled touchdown, minimizing any potential impact or bounce upon landing.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate of -175 ft/m indicates a gentle and smooth landing, ensuring a comfortable experience for both passengers and the aircraft itself. Additionally, your touchdown speed of 128 knots was within the appropriate range, further enhancing the safety and stability of the landing. It is worth noting that landing slightly beyond the designated touchdown point by 277 meters may provide some room for improvement in terms of precise touchdown accuracy.
Furthermore, the alignment of the runway touchdown was perfect, showcasing your exceptional ability to maintain control and precision throughout the landing process. This also contributes to the overall safety and efficiency of the landing.
In conclusion, your impressive aircraft landing score of 96.9% is a testament to your proficiency as a pilot and your commitment to excellence in every phase of the landing process. Keep up the fantastic work, and continue to strive for perfection in your future flights. Well done on this outstanding achievement!
