Work on the flare
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 1,625 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,625 m of the 3,075 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 552 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 45 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 30 at LEBB Bilbao Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,472 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 259 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile east of Erandio, Spain, and ascended from an altitude of 1,134 feet above sea level to 34,862 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,728 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 103 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile northwest of Ychoux, France, and lasted for 27 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 413 nautical miles. The enroute descent began overhead EBTY Maubray Airfield in Péruwelz, Belgium, and the aircraft descended from 34,554 feet above sea level to 1,394 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,160 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 49 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport was made from the northeast, heading 246.0 degrees, at an altitude of 1,239 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed on runway 25R, which had a length of 3,075 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 128 knots.
The touchdown point was 132 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 121 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -260 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good after the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 230 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,539 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 582 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 86 minutes. The aircraft used 4,508 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at Brussels Airport (EBBR) on runway 25R, achieving a score of 93.6%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 246.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,239 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and speed of 128 knots. The touchdown point was 132 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 121 knots was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, the touchdown rate of -260 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent during the final stages of the approach. This could be attributed to various factors, including the aircraft's configuration, the pilot's technique, or the wind conditions.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach.
The total landing distance of 1,539 meters was 50% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to safely come to a halt. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to maintain directional control.
Overall, the Airbus A319's landing performance at Brussels Airport was satisfactory, with a few minor deviations from optimal performance. However, the aircraft's ability to safely and efficiently land on the runway was not compromised, and the pilots' skills and experience were likely a key factor in achieving a successful landing.
