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 1,550 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 606 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 25 at EGGW London Luton Airport. The Airbus A32NX took off with a takeoff distance of 1,128 meters, which was 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 166 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Luton, England, and continued to ascend to a height of 25,526 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,120 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 46 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began overhead Hannington, Hampshire, England, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering 30 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles north-east of Lymington, Hampshire, England, and the aircraft descended from 25,110 feet above sea level to 1,878 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,232 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 100 nautical miles. Another enroute level cruise began 8 miles west of EGJJ Jersey Airport Saint Helier, Saint Peter, Jersey, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at EGJJ Jersey Airport was made from the west, heading 81.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,242 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 08 was successful, with a touchdown point 190 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 121 knots, which was good, but the touchdown rate was fair at -258 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.9 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots at 140 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,055 meters, which was 68% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 20.7 meters from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 187 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 41 minutes. The aircraft used 1,437 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A32NX aircraft successfully landed at EGJJ Jersey Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing performance. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 81.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,242 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 08, which has a length of 1,550 meters.
The threshold height at 56 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation in the aircraft's descent. However, the threshold speed of 132 knots was within the acceptable range, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown point was 190 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a notable deviation from the ideal landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 121 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing. However, the touchdown rate of -258 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced some deceleration issues during the landing. This could be due to various factors, including the aircraft's weight, the runway's surface, or the pilot's control inputs.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.9 meters from the centerline, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 20.7 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced some directional control issues during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C, a wind speed of 16 knots at 140°, and a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the deviations in the landing performance, particularly the runway rollout alignment.
Overall, the landing was successful, but with some notable deviations from the ideal performance. The aircraft's touchdown speed and touchdown point were within acceptable ranges, but the touchdown rate and runway rollout alignment were less than ideal. Further analysis and training may be necessary to improve the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance in similar conditions.
