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 2,233 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 491 m touchdown sits inside 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 28 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 33 at LFH2 Bale Mulhouse, with a takeoff distance of 1,175 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 136 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 15 knots at a direction of 280 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of Blotzheim, France, and rising from an altitude of 1,870 feet above sea level to 32,699 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,829 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 79 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 2 miles northeast of Villars-sur-Ollon, Switzerland, and lasting 5 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles east of DZ PGHM DZ des bois Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France, and descending from 32,640 feet above sea level to 4,029 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,612 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 68 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Cambiano, Italy, and lasting 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase resumed, starting 2 miles southwest of Turin, Italy, and descending from 3,748 feet above sea level to 2,222 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,526 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at LIMF Turin Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 3.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 36, which had a length of 2,233 meters. The threshold height at 63 feet above ground level was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 120 knots.
The touchdown point was 73 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 117 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -231 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at a direction of 249 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,274 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 191 nautical miles, taking 43 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,404 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at LIMF Turin Airport, achieving a score of 95.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 3.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 36, which has a length of 2,233 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 73 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal touchdown point. The touchdown speed of 117 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, which could be attributed to the aircraft's descent rate and the pilot's control inputs. However, the touchdown rate of -231 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 249°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The total landing distance of 1,274 meters was 57% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 95.5%. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and touchdown point accuracy.
