Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
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.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,477 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 417 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 Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, taking approximately 9 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 24, with a takeoff distance of 1,796 meters, which was 56% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 162 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 259°.
The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 14 knots. As the aircraft climbed, it started to ascend from an altitude of 998 feet above sea level to 30,289 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,292 feet, in just 19 minutes and covering a distance of 119 nautical miles. This enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northwest of Aalsmeerderbrug in the Netherlands.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started approximately 1 mile southeast of Quievrain in Belgium. This phase lasted for 81 minutes and covered a distance of 522 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started approximately 11 miles west of Piana in France. The descent from 30,408 feet above sea level to 1,638 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,770 feet, took just 15 minutes and covered a distance of 57 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at Figari Sud-Corse Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 235.0° at an altitude of 1,562 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 419 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 139 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -557 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 33°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 209°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. The total landing distance was 1,211 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
In conclusion, the total flight distance was 705 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 126 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6,274 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LFKF Figari Sud-Corse Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 235.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,562 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 23, which has a length of 2,477 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 139 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 419 meters was within the acceptable range. The threshold height at 67 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high on its approach. The threshold speed was good at 140 knots, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable approach speed.
The landing distance of 1,211 meters was 49% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 33°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 209°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots.
The touchdown rate of -557 feet per minute (fpm) was very hard, indicating that the aircraft may have been subjected to a high rate of deceleration upon touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the target parameters.
