Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 27 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 27 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 27 ft to touchdown.
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 1,551 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,551 m of the 3,501 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 769 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight was operated by an Airbus A350-900 aircraft. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 14L at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (LFBO), with the takeoff distance covering 41% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 157 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 350°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile south of Blagnac, France, and ascended from an initial altitude of 1,515 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 18,625 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 35 nautical miles and took 7 minutes to complete.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 28 minutes and covered a distance of 68 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place overhead the town of Venes, Occitanie, France. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started overhead the town of Engomer, Occitanie, France. The descent phase took 15 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 46 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 18,196 feet above sea level to 1,778 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 14R at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 143.0° at an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 3,501 meters, and the threshold height was slightly above the target height. The threshold speed was good at 124 knots, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 115 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -159 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance covered 42% of the runway's length, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 158 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 63 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 7,587 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A350-900 successfully landed at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport, achieving a score of 91.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 143.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on runway 14R, which has a length of 3,501 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was satisfactory at 124 knots. The touchdown point was located 350 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 115 knots was a bit faster than desired, and the aircraft's touchdown rate of -159 feet per minute (fpm) was good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 11°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 40°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and there was no headwind. The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,467 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its direction and speed during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, such as the touchdown speed and point. Nevertheless, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's capabilities ensured a safe and successful landing.
