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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.

The rest of the report
The Airbus A220-300 taxied from the parking area to runway 18L at KMCO Orlando International Airport in 5 minutes, covering approximately 1 nm on the ground.
During the departure roll on runway 18L, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 5,209 ft, representing 43 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 142 kt. Ambient conditions were 76 °F with a wind of 8 kt from 280°, including an 8 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt tailwind.
Climb commenced 1 mile southwest of KMCO, with the airplane ascending from 1,053 ft asl to 37,923 ft asl, a gain of 36,869 ft achieved in 27 minutes while covering 171 nm.
The first cruise segment began 1 mile east of 5FL1 Ezell Airport near Keaton Beach and persisted for 33 minutes, during which 243 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent phase one started 4 miles north of Spanish Fort, Alabama, with a reduction from 37,915 ft asl to 9,526 ft asl, a loss of 28,389 ft in 17 minutes over 104 nm.
A brief cruise interval followed 8 miles south of Slidell, Louisiana, lasting 2 minutes and spanning 7 nm.
The second descent began 5 miles northeast of KNEW Lakefront Airport, New Orleans, descending from 8,991 ft asl to 3,181 ft asl, a decrease of 5,810 ft in 5 minutes while covering 19 nm.
Subsequent cruise activity originated 9 miles north of Kenner, Louisiana, and continued for 7 minutes, during which 21 nm were traversed.
Descent three was initiated 1 mile west of Laplace, Louisiana, with the aircraft lowering from 2,990 ft asl to 2,248 ft asl, a loss of 742 ft in 2 minutes across 5 nm.
The final cruise segment started 1 mile north of Norco, Louisiana, lasting 14 minutes and covering 39 nm.
Final approach to runway 11 at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport was conducted from the west, on a heading of 107.0° at 4 nm and 1,098 ft agl. The approach continued with a descent from 1,175 ft agl to 131 ft agl in 88 seconds, and the aircraft met the stabilisation gate criteria.
Landing on runway 11, which measures 10,087 ft, occurred with a threshold speed slightly below target at 123 kt. Touchdown was recorded 1,862 ft beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 111 kt and a vertical rate of minus 294 fpm; the touchdown point was offset 38 ft from the centreline. Local weather at the time was 73 °F with wind 8 kt from 280°, a 1 kt crosswind and an 8 kt tailwind.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 5,051 ft, representing 50 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s ground track remained offset by 38 ft from the centreline during the deceleration phase.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 6 minutes, traveling less than 1 nm on the taxiways.
In total, the flight covered 621 nm, required 120 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 7,673 lb of fuel.
Airbus A220-300 approached runway 11 at KMSY from the west on a heading of 107.0° at 4 NM and 1,098 ft agl; the final approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because flaps were not set, and the descent from 1,175 ft agl to 131 ft agl took 88 seconds, scoring on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 123 kt.
Touchdown occurred 1,862 ft beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 111 kt that was good; the touchdown rate was fair at minus 294 fpm and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 38 ft from the centreline, resulting in a total landing distance of 5,051 ft, 50 % of the runway.
During rollout the aircraft remained slightly misaligned by 38 ft from the centreline; local weather was 73 °F with wind 8 kt from 280°, a 1 kt crosswind component and an 8 kt tailwind component.
Ensure flap deployment is completed before the 1,000 ft gate to achieve a stable approach, and refine lateral control to keep the aircraft centred on the runway during flare and rollout.
