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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,717 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,717 m of the 2,914 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 700 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at EDDM Munich Airport, which took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 26R, with a takeoff distance of 1,855 meters, which was 47% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 166 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Munich, it encountered local weather conditions of 5°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 214°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was also 3 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Munich Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 2,480 feet above sea level to 32,999 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,520 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 96 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Luson, Italy, and lasted for 62 minutes, covering a distance of 403 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 48 miles northeast of Cadaques, Spain, and descended from 33,625 feet above sea level to 24,763 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,862 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 35 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 21 miles east of Cadaques, lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 16 miles east of l'Estartit, Spain, and descended from 23,695 feet above sea level to 7,659 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,036 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started once more 17 miles southeast of Sant Pol de Mar, lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 19 miles southeast of Vilassar de Mar, Spain, and descended from 7,669 feet above sea level to 4,332 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,336 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 10 miles southeast of la Barceloneta, lasting for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 10 miles southeast of Calella, Spain, and descended from 3,920 feet above sea level to 2,262 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,658 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started once more 6 miles southeast of Calella, lasting for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 246.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,283 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 24R was successful, with the touchdown point being 283 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -121 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 12°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 0°.
The total landing distance was 1,635 meters, which was 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. Taxiing to the parking from the runway took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 679 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 136 minutes
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, achieving a score of 96.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 246.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed smoothly on runway 24R, which has a length of 2,914 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 142 knots, which may have been due to various factors such as wind conditions or the aircraft's performance. Despite this, the touchdown speed of 126 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -121 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 0°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly above-target threshold speed. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown.
The total landing distance was 1,635 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and stop within a reasonable distance. 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 control, and the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The score of 96.9% reflects the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot during the landing.
