Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,393 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,393 ft of the 12,000 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,022 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight commenced with the Airbus A321 taxiing from its parking spot to the runway, a journey that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway, departure roll began on runway 32L at UUDD Domodedovo International Airport, a major international airport in Moscow, Russia.
Upon clearance, the aircraft took off, covering a takeoff distance of 6,263 feet, which accounts for 55% of the runway. The liftoff speed was achieved at 163 knots. Weather conditions at the time of takeoff featured a temperature of 72 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 4 knots at a direction of 90 degrees, which provided a light breeze for the aircraft.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its en route climb, rising from an initial altitude of 1,616 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 32,256 feet, an increase of 30,640 feet in 26 minutes while covering 161 nautical miles. This climb phase marked a significant increase in altitude and set the stage for the long-distance flight.
Following the climb, the aircraft commenced its en route level cruise, starting 7 miles northeast of Kazaki, a location in Russia's Lipetsk Oblast. This cruise phase lasted for 206 minutes, covering an impressive 1,147 nautical miles. The aircraft maintained a steady flight path, with minimal deviations in altitude, ensuring a smooth and efficient journey.
As the aircraft approached its destination, en route descent began 6 miles southwest of Al Qutayfah, a location in Syria's Damascus Countryside. The aircraft descended from 31,959 feet to 29,941 feet, a decrease of 2,018 feet in just 3 minutes while covering 20 nautical miles. This initial descent phase set the stage for the final approach.
Following a brief en route level cruise period, the aircraft again began its descent, this time from 29,961 feet to 3,637 feet above sea level in 13 minutes while covering 63 nautical miles. This second descent phase was significant, as the aircraft prepared for its final approach.
As the aircraft entered its final approach, it began to descend from 3,637 feet to 1,250 feet above ground level, preparing to land on runway 26R at OJAI Queen Alia International Airport. The final approach featured a heading of 261.0 degrees and occurred from the east.
The aircraft successfully landed on runway 26R, a 12,000-foot-long runway, at a speed of 146 knots, meeting the threshold speed requirement. The touchdown point was 678 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 136 knots, both of which were deemed satisfactory.
The total landing distance was 6,149 feet, accounting for 51% of the runway. Notably, the runway touchdown alignment and runway rollout alignment were both perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 86 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 5 knots at a direction of 260 degrees, with a gentle headwind that supported the landing.
Following the successful landing, the aircraft taxied to its parking spot, a journey that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,438 nautical miles, which the aircraft covered in 222 minutes while consuming 24,854 pounds of fuel.
An Airbus A321 aircraft has successfully completed a landing at OJAI Queen Alia International Airport, with a near-perfect score of 98.1%. The aircraft was approaching runway 26R from the east at a heading of 261.0 ° and at a distance of 4 nautical miles. At an altitude of 1,250 feet above ground level (agl), the pilots were well-prepared for the final approach.
The Airbus A321 touched down smoothly on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a precise and controlled descent. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 146 knots, demonstrating the aircraft's stability and maneuverability. The touchdown point was located 678 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is within acceptable limits.
At a touchdown speed of 136 knots, the aircraft experienced a smooth and controlled touchdown rate of -176 feet per minute (fpm), further highlighting the pilots' skill and expertise. Additionally, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, showcasing the pilots' ability to execute a precise and controlled approach.
Local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 86 °F and a wind speed of 5 knots at 260 °. Notably, there was no crosswind, and a moderate headwind of 5 knots aided the aircraft's descent and touchdown.
The total landing distance was 6,149 feet, which is just 51% of the runway length of 12,000 feet. This indicates a well-executed and controlled approach, with the aircraft utilizing the majority of the runway to come to a stop. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to manage the aircraft's speed and direction during the post-touchdown phase.
Overall, the landing was marked by precise control and skill on the part of the pilots, resulting in a near-perfect score of 98.1%. The Airbus A321's performance and the pilots' expertise were on full display, showcasing a seamless and controlled approach and landing.
