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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,169 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,169 m of the 3,026 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 834 m past the threshold — beyond 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 22R at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,594 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 23°C temperature and winds of 5 knots at 20°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 5 knots. After departing from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Saint-Laurent-du-Var, France. The climb took 20 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,022 feet above sea level to 33,880 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 4 miles north of Ferriere, Italy. This cruise phase lasted for 85 minutes and covered a distance of 547 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile northeast of Kepie, Poland. The descent took 23 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 34,248 feet above sea level to 3,523 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile northeast of Czastkow Polski, Poland. This cruise phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 15 at Warsaw Chopin Airport, flying from the northwest at a heading of 152.0° and at an altitude of 1,501 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 15, which had a length of 3,026 meters. The threshold height was above the target, while the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 149 knots. The touchdown point was 420 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 140 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -200 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 19°C temperature and winds of 5 knots at 236°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 2,090 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft took 9 minutes to taxi to the parking, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 804 nautical miles, taking 134 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,776 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport, with a score of 89.0%. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 152.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,501 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for a landing on runway 15, which has a length of 3,026 meters.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft's height was above the target, indicating a slight overshoot. The threshold speed was also slightly above the target, at 149 knots. Despite these minor deviations, the aircraft maintained a steady descent and touched down at a speed of 140 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good, at -200 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled and smooth landing.
The touchdown point was located 420 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight overrunning of the runway. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 5.4 meters. These minor deviations did not seem to affect the overall performance of the aircraft, as the runway rollout alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a light wind of 5 knots from 236°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 5 knots, while the headwind component was zero. The total landing distance was 2,090 meters, which is 69% of the runway length. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
