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 152 m above the runway. The 305 m gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,443 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 455 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 36 at Milano Linate Airport (LIML). The takeoff distance was 1,468 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 53 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the Idroscalo Milan (RB11) at an altitude of 421 meters above sea level. The climb continued to an altitude of 9,893 meters above sea level, an increase of 9,471.6 meters, in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 79 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Scandiano (Emilia-Romagna, Italy). This phase lasted for 36 minutes and covered a distance of 254 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 8 miles northeast of Isole Tremiti (Puglia, Italy). The descent took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 93 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 9,919 meters above sea level to 678 meters above sea level.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 10 miles north of Mola di Bari (Puglia, Italy). This phase lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25 at Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (LIBD) was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 250.0 degrees at an altitude of 299.4 meters above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 25 was successful, with the aircraft touching down 566 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 139 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was fair at -1.1 meters per second. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 259 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,939 meters, which accounted for 79% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 449 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 87 minutes. The aircraft used 2,906 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LIBD Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport, achieving a score of 89.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 299.4 meters above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 25, which has a length of 2,443 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 566 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal touchdown point. The touchdown speed of 139 knots was slightly above the target, suggesting that the pilots may have been able to reduce their speed further to achieve a more optimal touchdown. However, the touchdown rate of -1.1 meters per second was considered fair, indicating a relatively smooth landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 259°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots, which did not appear to significantly impact the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was deemed very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,939 meters was 79% of the runway length, suggesting that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a safe stop. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown point and speed.
