Work on the flare
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,987 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 559 m past the threshold — beyond 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 30 at LEVC Valencia Airport, a Spanish airport. The takeoff distance was 1,481 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 5 knots at 240 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northwest of LEVC Valencia Airport. The climb took 22 minutes to reach a height of 35,037 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,804 feet from the initial altitude of 1,233 feet. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 136 nautical miles. The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which began 10 miles south of Cunit, a town in the Catalonia region of Spain. This cruise phase lasted for 76 minutes and covered a distance of 522 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles southwest of San Pancrazio, a town in the Trentino-Alto Adige region of Italy. The descent took 19 minutes to reduce the altitude from 35,383 feet to 4,774 feet, a decrease of 30,609 feet. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 111 nautical miles. The enroute descent was followed by another level cruise, which began 1 mile north of Lengdorf, a town in the Bavaria region of Germany. This cruise phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport began overhead Taufkirchen, a town in the Bavaria region of Germany. The aircraft then started its descent from 4,768 feet to 2,738 feet, a decrease of 2,030 feet, in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final approach was made from the east, heading 264.0 degrees, at an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport was successful, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was well above the target speed of 149 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -254 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -4 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 4 knots at 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,135 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 790 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 132 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6,492 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a score of 97.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 264.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 149 knots. However, the touchdown point was 143 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -254 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -4°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a moderate headwind of 4 knots. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,135 meters was 28% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot achieving a high score and demonstrating good flying skills.
