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.
Side view — the last 1,736 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,736 m of the 2,692 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 698 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A300, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Milano Linate Airport, taking 13 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 36, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 162 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 1 knot from 240 degrees, and a crosswind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,468 feet above sea level to 34,104 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,636 feet in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 117 nautical miles. The climb started 1 mile southwest of Segrate, Lombardia, Italy. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, flying overhead Chardonne, Canton de Vaud, Switzerland, and lasting 13 minutes, covering a distance of 91 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began overhead Til-Chatel, Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France, with the aircraft descending from 34,026 feet above sea level to 12,285 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,741 feet in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 90 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 12,617 feet above sea level to 14,109 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,492 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 9 nautical miles, starting 1 mile southwest of Bethon, Grand Est, France.
The aircraft then entered another descent phase, flying from 14,109 feet above sea level to 4,135 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,975 feet in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 37 nautical miles, starting overhead Sancy-les-Provins, Ile-de-France, France. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, flying overhead Les Pavillons-sous-Bois, Ile-de-France, France, and lasting 7 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began overhead Beauchamp, Ile-de-France, France, with the aircraft descending from 4,139 feet above sea level to 1,656 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,483 feet in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 09L at Charles de Gaulle International Airport, flying from the west at a heading of 85.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 09L, which had a length of 2,692 meters. The threshold height at 68 feet above ground level was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 126 knots. The touchdown point was 271 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 121 knots, which was good, but a touchdown rate of -227 feet per minute, which was fair. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.0 meters from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,645 meters, which was 61% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 17.5 meters from the centreline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 17 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The total flight distance was 379 nautical miles, taking 97 minutes, and the aircraft used 7,227 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A300 aircraft successfully landed on runway 09L at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport, achieving an overall score of 82.8%. The final approach to the runway was initiated from the west, heading 85.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 121 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown point was located 271 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The threshold height at 68 feet agl was above the target, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly high during the approach.
The landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,645 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.0 meters from the centerline, suggesting that the aircraft may have drifted off course during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 40°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 kt each, which suggests that the aircraft was not significantly affected by wind during the landing.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was again off by 17.5 meters, indicating a continued deviation from the intended path. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance of the Airbus A300 was satisfactory, with a score of 82.8%.
