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 2,452 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,452 m of the 4,113 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 721 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 36 at SEQM Mariscal Sucre International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,098 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots at 289 degrees. The crosswind was 15 knots, while the headwind was 6 knots. After departing from the airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and involved climbing from 8,834 feet above sea level to 10,129 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,296 feet in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. This phase began 1 mile northwest of the airport. The final approach to runway 36 at SEQM Mariscal Sucre International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 358.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 690 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 36 was successful, with a threshold speed that was slightly above the target at 122 knots. The touchdown point was 307 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 116 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -320 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions during the landing were a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots at 289 degrees, with a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,373 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.2 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 11 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 9 minutes. The aircraft used 313 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at SEQM Mariscal Sucre International Airport, achieving an overall score of 87.0%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 358.0° at 1 nautical mile and 690 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on runway 36, which has a length of 4,113 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 122 knots. This minor deviation from the target speed did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown point was 307 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 116 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -320 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 13 knots at 289°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the landing.
The total landing distance was 2,373 meters, which is 58% 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. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.2 meters from the centerline. This minor deviation from the centerline may have been due to a slight overcorrection or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control.
Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, there were a few minor deviations from the target performance, including a slightly above-target threshold speed and a slightly misaligned runway rollout.
