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 3,285 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 790 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A321 then departed from runway 23L at Auckland International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,739 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 167 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 13 knots at 220 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south west of Auckland International Airport. The climb started at an altitude of 1,042 feet above sea level and reached a height of 5,984 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,942 feet, in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 10 miles south west of Titirangi, and lasted for 6 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 23 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it started its enroute descent 4 miles east of North Shore. The descent began at an altitude of 5,586 feet above sea level and ended at an altitude of 1,308 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,278 feet, in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23L at Auckland International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading at 251.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 23L was successful, with the threshold height being well above the target, and the threshold speed being good at 142 knots. The touchdown point was 372 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 134 knots, which was good, but the touchdown rate was fair at -208 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 11 knots at 220 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,423 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.1 meters from the centreline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 55 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 31 minutes, during which the aircraft used 1,248 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 23L at Auckland International Airport (NZAA) with a score of 84.5%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 251.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach to the runway was satisfactory, with a threshold height that was well above the target, indicating a safe margin for landing. The threshold speed was also good, at 142 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. However, the touchdown point was 372 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path.
The touchdown speed of 134 knots was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down at a safe speed. However, the touchdown rate of -208 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown. This could be due to a variety of factors, including the aircraft's weight, the runway's surface, or the pilot's technique.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path. This could be due to a variety of factors, including wind, pilot error, or aircraft performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 11 knots at 220°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots, which may have contributed to the slight deviation from the intended landing path.
The total landing distance was 1,423 meters, which is 43% of the runway length. This is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.1 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 84.5%. However, there were some minor deviations from the intended landing path, including the touchdown point being beyond the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position being slightly misaligned. These deviations may be due to a variety of factors, including wind, pilot error, or aircraft performance.
