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 1,523 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,523 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 157 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 3.01 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 01R at YBBN Brisbane International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,663 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 172 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 360 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile north east of YBBN Brisbane International Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,067 feet above sea level to 37,168 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,101 feet, in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 119 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 7 miles west of Jandowae and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 76 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 9 miles west of YDLC Dulacca Airport Westcourt, descending from 37,177 feet above sea level to 4,127 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,049 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 143 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase 25 miles south west of YMVN Morven Airport Roma, which lasted for 8 minutes and covered a distance of 34 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 30 at YBCV Charleville Airport was made from the south east, with the aircraft heading 317.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,169 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 30 at YBCV Charleville Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 141 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown distance was 159 meters, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 39 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 977 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 23.9 meters from the centreline. 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 381 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 63 minutes. The aircraft used 3,413 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at YBCV Charleville Airport, but with some areas for improvement. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 317.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,169 feet above ground level. The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 142 knots, coming in at 141 knots. This may have contributed to a heavy touchdown rate of -1,397 feet per minute, which is considered very heavy. A heavier touchdown rate can put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and may affect the overall safety of the landing.
The aircraft landed on runway 30, which has a length of 1,523 meters. The touchdown distance was good at 159 meters, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 39°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 977 meters, which is 64% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot maintained good control of the aircraft during the landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 23.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's rollout.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and rate, as well as runway alignment during rollout.
