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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,577 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 535 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 27R at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,975 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 166 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 260 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south of College Park, Georgia, and ascended from an altitude of 2,093 feet above sea level to 34,725 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,632 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 168 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 5 miles south of Denton, Georgia, and lasted for 40 minutes, covering a distance of 1,295 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 78 miles northwest of Tanki Leendert, Aruba Island, and the aircraft descended from 35,002 feet above sea level to 1,329 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,672 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 132 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 11 at Hato International Airport was made from the west, heading 102.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,274 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 11 at Hato International Airport was successful, with a touchdown point 116 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 146 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -137 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 a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 100 degrees.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,604 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 78 minutes. The aircraft used 9,214 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at TNCC Hato International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 102.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 11, which has a length of 2,577 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, 116 meters past the designated area. The touchdown speed of 139 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating that the pilots may have been able to make adjustments to achieve a more optimal touchdown speed. However, the touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -137 feet per minute (fpm), which is a desirable characteristic for a safe landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 100°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 14 knots, which the pilots effectively managed during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The total landing distance of 1,370 meters was 53% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots made effective use of the available runway length and managed the aircraft's speed and descent rate to achieve a safe and efficient landing. Finally, the runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase, which is an important aspect of ensuring a safe and controlled landing.
