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 1,621 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,621 m of the 2,693 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 632 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 Düsseldorf Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 23L, with a takeoff distance of 1,327 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Düsseldorf Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 8°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 310°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,125 feet above sea level to 22,298 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,172 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile north of Wenden, Germany, and lasted for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 82 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent overhead Mittelsinn, Germany, descending from 22,282 feet above sea level to 21,361 feet above sea level, a decrease of 921 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile southwest of Oberthulba, Germany, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 35 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 2 miles west of Burgebrach, Germany, descending from 21,355 feet above sea level to 2,330 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,025 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at Nuremberg Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 279.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,284 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 28, which had a length of 2,693 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 138 knots.
The touchdown point was 214 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 128 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was firm at -331 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were 0°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 349°. The crosswind was 9 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,538 meters, which was 57% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 211 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes. The aircraft used 2,100 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Nuremberg Airport (EDDN) with a score of 96.7%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 279.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 28, which has a length of 2,693 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 138 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown point was 214 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The touchdown speed of 128 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate of -331 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft touched down with minimal bounce. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 349°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's descent and landing, demonstrating their skill and experience.
The total landing distance was 1,538 meters, which is 57% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and safely. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, and the pilot's performance was commendable. The score of 96.7% reflects the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot during the landing phase.
