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 2,539 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 255 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight on the Airbus A319 began with a smooth taxi from the parking area to the runway, which took 8 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll was from runway 32R at LFBO Toulouse-Blagnac Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,418 meters, representing 47% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots, and the local weather at the time indicated a temperature of 19°C, with a 9 knot wind coming from 360° resulting in a 5 knot crosswind and a 7 knot headwind.
As the aircraft ascended, the climb started over LFBO Toulouse-Blagnac Airport, ascending from 1,630 feet above sea level to 28,384 feet, covering a total distance of 81 nautical miles in 14 minutes. The enroute level cruise portion of the flight commenced one mile northwest of Tursac in France and lasted 39 minutes, covering a distance of 264 nautical miles.
The descent phase kicked off over Auteuil in France, descending from 28,521 feet above sea level to 1,888 feet, covering a distance of 80 nautical miles in 18 minutes. The landing took place on runway 08 at LFQQ Lille Airport, with a runway length of 2,539 meters. The aircraft approached at a height of 42 feet above ground level and a speed of 130 knots. The touchdown occurred 254 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 130 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -519 feet per minute. The local weather at the time of landing was 11°C, with a 6 knot wind coming from 0° resulting in a 6 knot crosswind and a 1 knot headwind. The total landing distance was 988 meters, representing 39% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied smoothly from the runway to the parking area, a journey that took 1 minute to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The entire flight covered a distance of 433 nautical miles, lasting a total of 89 minutes and consuming 3,309 kilograms of fuel.
Congratulations on achieving an impressive aircraft landing score of 95.6%! Let's break down the different phases of the landing process to see what you did well and where there is room for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, you demonstrated excellent glideslope alignment, allowing for a smooth descent towards the runway. This is crucial for establishing a stable approach and setting the stage for a successful landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you maintained a good threshold height, ensuring that the aircraft was appropriately positioned for touchdown. The landing flare, while only deemed fair, still indicates that you had control over the aircraft as it made contact with the runway.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate may have been a bit heavy, but your speed was on target, which is crucial for a safe and smooth landing. Additionally, the fact that you touched down within the designated touchdown zone and in the correct runway position is commendable.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, while your runway alignment was slightly off from the centerline, it was within an acceptable margin. This phase is all about maintaining control and decelerating safely after touchdown, so ensuring proper alignment is key.
Overall, your performance during this landing was solid, with several strengths to highlight. Keep up the good work on maintaining proper alignment, speed control, and touchdown positioning. Additionally, paying close attention to your touchdown rate and flare technique can further improve your landings. With continued practice and attention to detail, you can strive for even higher scores in future landings. Well done on your impressive achievement!
