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 2,120 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,120 m of the 3,987 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 642 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 04R, with a takeoff distance of 1,307 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 13°C temperature and winds of 6 knots at 19°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb started over Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,030 feet above sea level to 15,417 feet, an increase of 14,387 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles south east of San Remo, Italy, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 22 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb 2 miles south east of Albenga, Italy, where it ascended from 16,126 feet to 35,380 feet, an increase of 19,255 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile south east of Casalmorano, Italy, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering 65 nautical miles. As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent 1 mile north east of Carisolo, Italy, where it descended from 35,475 feet to 3,923 feet, a decrease of 31,552 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 131 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again over Rohrmoos, Germany, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 08R at Munich Airport was made from the west, heading 83.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,247 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 08R, which had a length of 3,987 meters. The threshold height was well above the target, and the threshold speed was good at 133 knots. The touchdown point was 224 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 132 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -286 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 1°C temperature and winds of 2 knots at 90°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 2,038 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 362 nautical miles, taking 72 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,445 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 08R at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a score of 87.6%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 83.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,247 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, with a threshold height that was well above the target, indicating a safe margin for landing.
The threshold speed was recorded at 133 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 132 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force upon touchdown. The touchdown rate of -286 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to slow down relatively quickly after touchdown.
The touchdown point was located 224 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively significant deviation. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight drift during the approach or landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 90°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
The total landing distance was 2,038 meters, which is 51% of the runway length. This is a relatively high percentage, indicating that the aircraft may have taken a longer distance to come to a stop after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the aircraft was able to safely touch down on the runway and come to a stop without incident. The pilot's performance was satisfactory, and the aircraft's systems functioned as expected.
