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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,441 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 714 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A320 started at LFMN Nice/Cote d'Azur with a quick 3-minute taxi from the parking to the runway. The departure roll on runway 22R covered 4,340 ft, which was 52% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 155 kn with a temperature of 78°F and a 5 kn wind coming from 210°, resulting in a 1 kn crosswind and 5 kn headwind.
The enroute climb began 1 mile south of Saint-Laurent-du-Var in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, climbing from 1,049 ft to 29,553 ft in 19 minutes, covering 127 nm. The level cruise started 31 miles west of Coti-Chiavari in Corse, France, lasting 2 minutes and covering 18 nm.
The descent started 21 miles north of Stintino in Sardegna, Italy, descending from 29,391 ft to 6,586 ft in 20 minutes, covering 52 nm. Another level cruise followed, starting 1 mile southeast of Tula in Sardegna, Italy, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nm.
The final descent commenced 2 miles east of Oschiri in Sardegna, Italy, descending from 6,010 ft to 2,084 ft in 4 minutes, covering 14 nm. The landing took place on runway 05 at LIEO Costa Smeralda, with a runway length of 8,010 ft. The touchdown was 2,312 ft from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 129 kn and a VSI of -157 ft/m. The total landing distance was 4,002 ft, which was 50% of the runway.
After landing, a 2-minute taxi took the aircraft back to the parking area. The total flight distance covered was 225 nm, which took 138 minutes and used 5,480 lbs of fuel. The flight was smooth and successful, with the Airbus A320 performing well throughout the journey.
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 85.1% indicates a solid performance with room for improvement in certain areas. Let's break down each phase of the landing process to see where you excelled and where you can focus on improving.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it seems that the descent path was above the glideslope limit, which could have affected your overall approach angle and made it more challenging to properly align with the runway. This is an important phase of the landing process as it sets the stage for a successful touchdown.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's noted that the threshold height was significantly above the target, indicating a potential issue with altitude management during the final approach. Additionally, the landing flare was described as very poor, suggesting that the transition from descent to touchdown may have been rough or unstable.
In contrast, the Touchdown Phase had some positive aspects, such as a good touchdown rate and on-target speed. However, the touchdown point being 290 meters beyond the designated zone is something that should be addressed in order to ensure precise and safe landings. It's also commendable that the runway touchdown position was noted as very good, showing that you were able to maintain proper alignment with the center of the runway.
Finally, the Rollout Phase is highlighted by a very good runway alignment, indicating that you were able to maintain control and keep the aircraft centered on the runway during the rollout process. This is crucial for ensuring a smooth and safe landing.
In conclusion, while there were areas for improvement in the Approach and Landing Phases, your performance in the Touchdown and Rollout Phases was strong. By focusing on maintaining a proper descent path, improving altitude management, refining your landing flare technique, and ensuring precise touchdown point placement, you can continue to enhance your overall landing score and become even more proficient in your flying skills. Keep up the good work and continue to practice and refine your techniques for smoother and more precise landings in the future.
