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.
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 2,722 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 482 m touchdown sits inside 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 Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, taking approximately 5 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 22L, with a takeoff distance of 1,877 meters, which is 63% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 160 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 13°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 290°. The crosswind was 7 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of Saint-Laurent-du-Var, France, and the aircraft climbed from 1,008 feet above sea level to 34,008 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,000 feet in 22 minutes, covering 140 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles north of Bourg-Saint-Maurice, France, and lasted 34 minutes, covering 260 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile north of Erpeldange, Luxembourg, and descended from 34,010 feet above sea level to 10,099 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,910 feet in 12 minutes, covering 76 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its descent and level cruise, passing over various locations in Belgium, including Nieuwerkerken, Kortessem, Geetbets, Alken, Incourt, and Plancenoit. The final approach to runway 01 at Brussels Airport was made from the south, heading 14.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,353 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 01 at Brussels Airport, with a runway length of 2,722 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 knots. The touchdown point was 65 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -402 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 4°C temperature and a wind speed of 11 knots at 40°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 10 knots. The total landing distance was 1,440 meters, which is 53% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The flight ended with the aircraft taxiing to the parking area from the runway, taking approximately 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 580 nautical miles, taking 110 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,362 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Brussels Airport (EBBR) on runway 01, achieving a score of 96.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 14.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,353 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 2,722 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 knots. This may indicate a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed, but it did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing. The touchdown point was 65 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -402 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's alignment. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and winds of 11 knots at 40°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,440 meters, which is 53% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment and direction during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and landing phases.
