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 1,536 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,536 m of the 2,783 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 974 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 10 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 06 at LIRN Naples International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,350 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 189°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and there was a 5-knot tailwind. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of Casalnuovo di Napoli, Italy. The climb took 20 minutes and covered 107 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,157 feet above sea level to 35,248 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles west of Fara in Sabina, Italy. This phase lasted 48 minutes and covered 327 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles southwest of LSVK Glärnisch-Firn, Switzerland. The descent took 9 minutes and covered 51 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 35,140 feet to 18,840 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Uhlingen-Birkendorf, Germany. This phase lasted only 2 minutes and covered 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles south of Hinterzarten, Germany. The descent took 13 minutes and covered 28 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 18,163 feet to 2,166 feet.
The final approach to runway 15 at LFSB EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 155.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,274 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 15, which had a length of 2,783 meters. The threshold height was well above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 137 knots.
The touchdown point was 495 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -266 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 54°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and there was a 1-knot tailwind.
The total landing distance was 1,392 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 530 nautical miles, and the flight took 106 minutes, using 3,958 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at LFSB EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, achieving an overall score of 82.5%. The final approach to runway 15 was initiated from the north-west, with a heading of 155.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being well above the target at 79 feet agl. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 137 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing speed. The touchdown point was located 495 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a notable deviation from the ideal landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 128 knots was a little fast, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more optimal speed during the approach. However, the touchdown rate of -266 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating a relatively smooth landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 54°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. These conditions may have contributed to the slight deviations in the landing performance.
The total landing distance of 1,392 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating a relatively long landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centerline, suggesting that the pilot may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a stable and aligned rollout.
Overall, the landing performance of the Airbus A320 at LFSB EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg was satisfactory, with some notable deviations from the ideal landing performance. However, the pilot's ability to maintain a stable and aligned approach and touchdown was commendable, and the landing was ultimately successful.
