Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 60 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 60 ft, 15 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
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 2,088 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,088 m of the 3,570 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 639 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A321 then departed from runway 08R at Leipzig/Halle Airport, EDDP, with a takeoff distance of 1,550 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 85 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south east of EDDP Leipzig/Halle Airport Schkeuditz. The climb took 21 minutes to reach a height of 38,457 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,960 feet from the initial altitude of 1,497 feet. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 104 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 2 miles east of Ebermannstadt in Bavaria, Germany. This phase lasted for 30 minutes and covered a distance of 209 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 1 mile south east of Vermes in the Jura region of Switzerland. The descent took 17 minutes to reduce the altitude from 38,509 feet to 2,656 feet, a decrease of 35,853 feet. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 81 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at Geneva Cointrin International Airport, LSGG, was made from the north east, with a heading of 225.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 3,570 meters, and the threshold height was above the target at 67 feet above ground level. The threshold speed was also well above the target at 141 knots.
The touchdown point was 226 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -189 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots at 230 degrees.
The total landing distance was 2,011 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 403 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 80 minutes. The aircraft used 3,708 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Geneva Cointrin International Airport (LSGG) on runway 22. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 225.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and the results showed a score of 89.8%.
The aircraft's approach to the runway was satisfactory, with the threshold height being above the target at 67 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was significantly higher than the target at 141 knots, indicating that the aircraft may have been descending too quickly or the pilots may have been applying too much power. The touchdown point was 226 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which suggests that the pilots may have been slightly off-target.
The touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly faster than the target, which could have resulted in a longer landing distance. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -189 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilots' alignment with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 15 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The total landing distance of 2,011 meters was 56% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the target parameters. However, the aircraft was able to stop safely within the designated runway length, and the pilots demonstrated good control during the rollout phase.
