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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,188 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,944 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Miami International Airport, taking 11 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 26L, with a takeoff distance of 4,129 feet, which was 39% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 81°F temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 350°. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead Virginia Gardens, Florida, and continued for 19 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,052 feet above sea level to 38,223 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,171 feet.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles southwest of the Mayo Clinic Heliport in Jacksonville, Florida. This phase lasted for 93 minutes, covering a distance of 617 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Columbia, Kentucky, and continued for 35 minutes, covering a distance of 155 nautical miles. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 38,515 feet above sea level to 6,520 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,996 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of Greenwood, Indiana, and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The descent phase started 2 miles northwest of Indianapolis, Indiana, and continued for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles northeast of Indianapolis International Airport and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The descent phase started 3 miles south of the airport and continued for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north of Southport, Indiana, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23R at Indianapolis International Airport took place from the northeast, with a heading of 225.0° and an altitude of 1,321 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which was 11,188 feet long, with a threshold speed of 125 knots. The touchdown point was 548 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 111 knots and a touchdown rate of -361 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 18°F temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 279°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 3,629 feet, which was 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 8 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 926 nautical miles, taking 190 minutes, and the aircraft used 13,608 pounds of fuel.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at KIND Indianapolis International Airport, achieving a score of 90.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 225.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,321 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 23R, which has a length of 11,188 feet.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 125 knots was also within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 548 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal position but still within the safe limits. The touchdown speed of 111 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -361 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from 279°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft landed safely, with a total landing distance of 3,629 feet, which is 32% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for a safe stop.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, and the aircraft was brought to a stop without any issues. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was brought to a safe stop within the designated runway area.
