Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,356 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 328 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at DTTA Tunis Carthage International Airport. This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 11, with a takeoff distance of 1,428 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 110 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, while the headwind was 1 knot. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile east of the airport and continued until it reached an altitude of 31,009 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 107 nautical miles and took 17 minutes, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 30,044 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 1 mile west of Mellouleche and lasted for 11 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 81 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase started 29 miles east of Midoun and lasted for 18 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 30,822 feet to 1,421 feet above sea level. This descent phase covered a distance of 107 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, HLLM Mitiga International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 10 from the west. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,374 feet above ground level and was 4 nautical miles away from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 120 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 3 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 10, which had a length of 3,356 meters. The touchdown distance was 327 meters, and the touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was slightly faster than the recommended speed. The touchdown rate was firm at -372 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.2 meters. The total landing distance was 1,324 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 303 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 55 minutes. The aircraft used 2,390 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Mitiga International Airport, scoring a high 97.6% on its performance. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 104.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,374 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 10, which has a length of 3,356 meters.
The landing was executed well, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 139 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 327 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -372 feet per minute (fpm). This firm touchdown rate could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline. This indicates that the pilot maintained good control of the aircraft during the landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 120°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,324 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed well, with only minor areas for improvement.
