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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,946 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 585 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A320 Neo from Billund, Denmark to M.R. Stefanik Airport in Bratislava, Slovakia was smooth and efficient. The taxi from the parking area to the runway was quick, taking only 4 minutes to cover less than 1 nm. The departure from runway 27 at Billund required a takeoff distance of 996m, with a liftoff speed of 148 knots. The local weather at departure included a temperature of 12°C and wind at 26 knots coming from 300°, resulting in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 21 knots.
During the enroute climb, the aircraft ascended from 1,242 ft above sea level to 36,094 ft, covering a distance of 111 nm in 21 minutes. The enroute level cruise lasted 51 minutes covering 362 nm, and the descent from 36,898 ft to 2,224 ft took 33 minutes covering 78 nm.
The landing on runway 31 at M.R. Stefanik Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down 585 m from the threshold at a speed of 132 knots. The touchdown resulted in a vertical speed of -329 ft/min. The local weather at landing included a temperature of 22°C and a wind of 11 knots coming from 240°, resulting in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,209 m, 41% of the runway length.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 560 nm, lasted 130 minutes, and consumed 4,104 kg of fuel. The Airbus A320 Neo performed well throughout the flight, demonstrating its efficiency and reliability in various phases of flight.
Great job on achieving a landing score of 91.9%! Your approach phase was particularly strong, with excellent glideslope alignment leading up to the landing. This set a solid foundation for a successful touchdown.
During the landing phase, it's noted that the threshold height was slightly above target and the landing flare was very poor. While these areas could use improvement, it's important to recognize that you were able to adjust and still execute a landing under these conditions.
In the touchdown phase, there were a few areas for improvement. The touchdown rate was hard and the speed was a little above target. Additionally, the touchdown point was 172 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating the need for better judgment of timing and distance during this phase of the landing.
Despite these challenges, you managed to land with an 11 knot crosswind, which is no easy feat. Handling crosswind conditions requires skill and focus, and you demonstrated proficiency in this area.
Finally, in the rollout phase, the runway alignment was slightly off, with a deviation of 4.4 meters from the centerline. This is an area where additional practice and attention to detail can help improve your overall landing performance.
Overall, your landing score of 91.9% is a testament to your piloting abilities. By identifying areas for improvement and continuing to hone your skills, you can further enhance your performance and become an even more proficient pilot. Keep up the great work!
