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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 8,415 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 8,415 ft of the 13,070 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,711 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL), the Airbus A350-900 began its journey on runway 27R, taking off with a distance of 6,217 feet, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 160 knots, with a local temperature of 61°F and a gentle headwind of 1 knot. As it departed the Atlanta metropolitan area, the aircraft climbed to 39,000 feet in 25 minutes, covering 186 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started southwest of Shelby, North Carolina, and lasted for 164 minutes, covering 1,571 nautical miles. The aircraft then began a series of climbs and level cruises, with the final climb taking place over the North Atlantic, where it reached 41,000 feet in 2 minutes. The aircraft then entered a series of level cruises, with the final one lasting 197 minutes and covering 755 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, initially from 41,001 feet to 11,729 feet in 7 minutes, and then from 11,002 feet to 4,105 feet in 6 minutes. The final approach to runway 25L at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) was made from the east, with a heading of 249.0° and a touchdown speed of 124 knots.
The Airbus A350-900 landed on runway 25L at EDDF, with a total landing distance of 8,140 feet, accounting for 62% of the runway. The touchdown point was 2,336 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -74 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 12 minutes to cover 3 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 4,119 nautical miles, taking 482 minutes, and the aircraft used 105,435 pounds of fuel.
The final approach to runway 25L at EDDF Frankfurt Airport from the east was initiated at 4 nautical miles and 1,313 feet above ground level, heading 249.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 69 feet above ground level, which was above the target. The threshold speed of 132 knots was slightly above the target, indicating a slight increase in power application during the final stages of the approach.
The aircraft touched down 2,336 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 124 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate of -74 feet per minute was excellent, demonstrating good control and precision during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating accurate control and alignment with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 45°F and a headwind of 5 knots, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 8,140 feet was 62% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration after touchdown. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 87.3%. The slight deviations from the target threshold speed and touchdown speed were minor and did not significantly impact the overall performance.
