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 2,857 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,857 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 341 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Václav Havel Airport Prague, taking 12 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 06, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,524 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 1 °C, with a wind speed of 13 knots at 119 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the town of Knezeves in the Czech Republic. The climb took 17 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 2,204 feet above sea level to 37,996 feet, an increase of 35,792 feet. The distance covered during this climb was 104 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles south east of the town of Kalawa in Germany. This cruise phase lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 120 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile south of the town of Altentreptow in Germany. The descent took 25 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 37,812 feet to 1,438 feet, a decrease of 36,375 feet. The distance covered during this descent was 132 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04L at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport was made from the south west, with the aircraft heading at 41.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,414 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1 °C, with a wind speed of 27 knots at 110 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 25 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The landing took place on runway 04L, which had a length of 2,996 meters. The threshold height at 70 feet above ground level was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 126 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 343 meters, with a touchdown speed of 118 knots. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -527 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.5 meters from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 2,770 meters, which was 92% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.2 meters from the centreline. The aircraft then began its taxiing to the parking area, taking 9 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 369 nautical miles, taking a total of 77 minutes. The aircraft used 2,724 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft has successfully landed at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, but with some notable areas for improvement. The final approach to runway 04L was initiated from the southwest, heading 41.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,414 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a threshold speed of 126 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
However, the threshold height at 70 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high during the approach. The touchdown distance of 343 meters was good, and the touchdown speed of 118 knots was also within the acceptable range. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate was very hard, at -527 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a need for adjustments in the approach and landing configuration.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1°C, with a wind speed of 27 knots at 110°. The crosswind component was 25 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the misalignment of the runway touchdown position.
The total landing distance of 2,770 meters was 92% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.2 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft may have been experiencing some difficulties during the rollout phase. Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of approach and landing configuration, and runway alignment.
