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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,587 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,587 m of the 3,043 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 533 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 15 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 27 at KSWF New York Stewart International Airport. The takeoff distance was 965 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 25 knots at a direction of 299 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 17 knots and a headwind of 19 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead KSWF New York Stewart International Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,524 feet above sea level to 15,269 feet above sea level, an increase of 13,745 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Vernon Valley in New Jersey, and lasted for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 66 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its first descent, starting 2 miles southeast of Vista Center, and descended from 15,372 feet above sea level to 14,832 feet above sea level, a decrease of 541 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles east of Leisure Village East, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its second descent, starting overhead Surf City, and descended from 14,384 feet above sea level to 1,366 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,018 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31 at KACY Atlantic City International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 298.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 31, which had a length of 3,043 meters. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 133 knots.
The touchdown point was 108 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 121 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -249 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 19 knots at a direction of 290 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 19 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,497 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.1 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 148 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 46 minutes. The aircraft used 1,709 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at KACY Atlantic City International Airport, but with some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 298.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 31, which has a length of 3,043 meters.
The threshold height at 64 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. Additionally, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 133 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was moving at a slightly faster pace than intended when reaching the threshold. The touchdown point was 108 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 121 knots was a little fast, indicating that the aircraft was moving at a higher speed than desired when touching down on the runway. However, the touchdown rate of -249 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to slow down relatively quickly after touchdown. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 19 knots from 290°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 19 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed. The total landing distance was 1,497 meters, which is 49% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop relatively quickly after touchdown.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, but with some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
