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 2,180 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 592 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 24, with a takeoff distance of 1,271 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 169 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 14 knots coming from a direction of 250 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Chilly-Mazarin in the Ile-de-France region of France. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,301 feet above sea level to 36,078 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,777 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 183 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 1 mile south of Vollore-Ville in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. This phase of the flight lasted for 17 minutes and covered a distance of 231 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase then started 33 miles southeast of Antibes in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region of France. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 36,037 feet above sea level to 1,324 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,713 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 93 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 02 at LFKJ Ajaccio-Napoléon Bonaparte Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 25.0 degrees. The approach was made at an altitude of 1,296 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 02, which had a length of 2,180 meters. The threshold height at 71 feet above ground level was well above the target, and the threshold speed was good at 136 knots.
The touchdown point was 176 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 129 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -178 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots coming from a direction of 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,121 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 515 nautical miles, and the flight used a total of -377 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Ajaccio-Napoléon Bonaparte Airport, with a score of 90.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 25.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,296 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 02, which has a length of 2,180 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 176 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal point. The touchdown speed was recorded at 129 knots, which is a little faster than the target speed. However, the touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 300°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. Despite these conditions, the aircraft performed well, with a total landing distance of 1,121 meters, which accounts for 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft performing well in terms of touchdown speed, touchdown rate, and runway alignment. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown point and touchdown speed.
