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.
Side view — the last 1,550 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,550 m of the 3,987 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 592 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 to the runway at EGGD Bristol Airport, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 27, with a takeoff distance of 1,194 meters, which was 63% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 148 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 7 knots at 290°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south east of Brockley, North Somerset, England, and the aircraft climbed from 1,539 feet above sea level to 5,834 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,295 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Clevedon, North Somerset, England, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 5,833 feet above sea level to 36,395 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,562 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 152 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles south west of Deal, Kent, England, and lasted for 33 minutes, covering a distance of 260 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 4 miles west of Kiedrich, Hessen, Germany. The descent from 36,188 feet above sea level to 34,190 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,998 feet in 2 minutes, covered a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile west of Bischofsheim, Hessen, Germany, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 40 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, this time from 34,199 feet above sea level to 11,480 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,720 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 117 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Rohrmoos, Bavaria, Germany, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, starting 2 miles north east of Ismaning, Bavaria, Germany. The descent from 10,666 feet above sea level to 6,028 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,638 feet in 3 minutes, covered a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile west of Dorfen, Bavaria, Germany, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile south east of Steinkirchen, Bavaria, Germany. The descent from 5,379 feet above sea level to 2,758 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,621 feet in 3 minutes, covered a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport took place from the east, with a heading of 264.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,277 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 26L, which was 3,987 meters long, was successful, with a touchdown point 176 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was slightly below the target speed, but the touchdown rate was firm at -329 feet per minute.

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a score of 95.5%. The final approach to runway 26L was initiated from the east, heading 264.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 126 knots, which is still considered acceptable. The touchdown point was located 176 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was within the desired range, and the touchdown rate of -329 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled and stable landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 80°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 9 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 1,469 meters was 37% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a score of 95.5%.
