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 3,589 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 673 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 07R at LFRB Brest Bretagne Airport, with a takeoff distance of 912 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 21 knots coming from a direction of 193°. This resulted in a crosswind of 17 knots and a tailwind of 11 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the town of Guipavas in Bretagne, France. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,315 feet above sea level to 29,999 feet, an increase of 28,685 feet, in just 10 minutes and covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead the town of Avessac in Pays de la Loire, France. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 78 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile west of the town of La Suze-sur-Sarthe in Pays de la Loire, France. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 30,008 feet to 1,653 feet, a decrease of 28,355 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 118 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09R at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 85.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,299 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 09R, which had a length of 3,589 meters. The threshold height at 78 feet above ground level was well above the target, and the threshold speed was good at 123 knots.
The touchdown point was 249 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 115 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -165 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot coming from a direction of 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,097 meters, which was 31% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 309 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 44 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -2,265 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport, with a score of 87.8%. The final approach to runway 09R was initiated from the west, heading 85.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,299 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold speed of 123 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
However, there were a few areas where the landing could be improved. The threshold height at 78 feet agl was well above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high on its approach. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 115 knots was a little fast, which could have resulted in a longer landing distance. Despite this, the touchdown rate of -165 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent.
The landing distance of 1,097 meters, which accounts for 31% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, were relatively calm, with no significant crosswind or tailwind components.
The rollout alignment after touchdown was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, while there were a few areas for improvement, the Airbus A320 aircraft demonstrated a safe and controlled landing at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport.
