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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,130 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 399 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Departure roll occurred on runway 24, with the aircraft taking off after covering 1,270 meters, which was 38% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 200 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Chilly-Mazarin, with the aircraft ascending from 1,286 feet above sea level to 23,238 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,952 feet in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 49 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile south of Boigny-sur-Bionne. This phase of the flight lasted 47 minutes and covered a distance of 325 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles east of Urnieta, Spain, and descending from 23,193 feet above sea level to 5,048 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,146 feet in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 55 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 6 miles northeast of Castro-Urdiales, Spain, and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The descent phase resumed, starting 3 miles north of Castro-Urdiales, with the aircraft descending from 4,666 feet above sea level to 1,451 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,216 feet in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12 at LEBB Bilbao Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 117.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,321 feet above ground level. The landing occurred on runway 12, which had a length of 2,130 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 127 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 389 meters, but the touchdown speed of 124 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -373 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 80 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 566 meters, which was 27% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 453 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 83 minutes, with the aircraft using 3,494 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at LEBB Bilbao Airport, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 117.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,321 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 16°C, with a gentle wind blowing at 4 knots from a direction of 80°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 3 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 127 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained a firm rate of descent, with a rate of -373 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 389 meters was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to flare the aircraft slightly earlier than necessary.
Despite this minor deviation, the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway during the rollout, ensuring a safe and controlled deceleration. The total landing distance of 566 meters was only 27% of the runway length, indicating a high degree of precision and control during the landing. Overall, the pilot's performance was impressive, and the landing was executed with a high level of skill and expertise.
