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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,603 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,603 m of the 3,987 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 781 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 less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an A320-251N, then departed from runway 28R at Dublin Airport (EIDW), with a takeoff distance of 1,483 meters, which was 48% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Dublin Airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of the airport and reaching an altitude of 38,695 feet above sea level (asl) after climbing 37,469 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 170 nautical miles. The local weather at the time was a temperature of 15°C.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile southwest of Holmesfield in Derbyshire, England, and lasted for 65 minutes, covering a distance of 467 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles south of Hardheim in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany, and descending from 39,000 feet asl to 12,953 feet asl in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 96 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting 2 miles southeast of Waidhofen in Bavaria, Germany, and lasting for 17 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Moosburg in Bavaria, Germany, and the aircraft descended from 12,995 feet asl to 5,254 feet asl in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting overhead Hohenpolding in Bavaria, Germany, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Fraunberg in Bavaria, Germany, and the aircraft descended from 4,582 feet asl to 2,702 feet asl in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26L at Munich Airport (EDDM) was from the east, with a heading of 263.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,225 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was made on runway 26L, which had a length of 3,987 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 132 knots.
The touchdown point was 374 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 124 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was also good at -182 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather at the time was a temperature of 19°C.
The total landing distance was 1,531 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 781 nautical miles, taking 148 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,833 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft in question, an A320-251N, successfully landed at Munich Airport (EDDM) on runway 26L. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,225 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, with a touchdown speed of 124 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown rate of -182 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, signifying that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The threshold height at 60 feet agl was slightly above the target, but this did not seem to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The touchdown point was located 374 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach, and the pilot was able to make adjustments as necessary to ensure a safe and smooth touchdown. The total landing distance of 1,531 meters, which accounts for 38% of the runway length, is also a testament to the aircraft's performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown. Overall, the landing performance of the A320-251N was satisfactory, with a score of 90.5%.
