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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,694 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 418 m touchdown sits inside 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 at Strasbourg Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 23, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 143 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 179 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead the town of Duppigheim in the Grand Est region of France. The enroute climb began at an altitude of 1,546 feet above sea level and continued for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 97 nautical miles and increasing the altitude to 31,457 feet above sea level. This represented an increase of 29,911 feet in altitude.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 27 minutes and covered a distance of 180 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place approximately 1 mile south east of the town of Poulangy in the Grand Est region of France.
As the aircraft began its descent, it passed 1 mile south west of the town of Le Boulay in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The descent phase lasted for 27 minutes, covering a distance of 101 nautical miles and decreasing the altitude from 32,313 feet above sea level to 495 feet above sea level. This represented a decrease of 31,817 feet in altitude.
The final approach to runway 21 at Nantes Atlantique Airport took place from the north east, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 203.0 degrees at an altitude of 1 nautical mile and 403 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 2,694 meters, and the threshold height was reported to be good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 140 knots.
The touchdown distance was reported to be good at 420 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 130 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -333 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.3 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 160 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 966 meters, which represented 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was reported to be very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 5 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 384 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 85 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,167 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LFRS Nantes Atlantique Airport, achieving a high score of 97.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 203.0° at 1 nautical mile and 403 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 21, which has a length of 2,694 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots, which may have been due to various factors such as wind resistance or the aircraft's weight. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 420 meters, and the touchdown speed of 130 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate was firm at -333 feet per minute (fpm), which is a good indication of the aircraft's ability to absorb the impact of landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's flight path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and winds of 18 knots at 160°. The crosswind component was 13 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's flight path and landing performance.
The total landing distance was 966 meters, which is 36% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to land safely and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to land safely and efficiently at LFRS Nantes Atlantique Airport. The high score of 97.9% reflects the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance in executing a safe and efficient landing.
