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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,683 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 253 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 27 at Gibraltar Airport (LXGB) in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 27, the aircraft used 1,241 m of runway, representing 75 % of the available length, and lifted off at 148 kt. Ambient conditions were 25 °C with a wind from 090° at 7 kt; the cross-wind component was 0 kt and a tail-wind component of 7 kt.
Climb commenced 1 mile west of Gibraltar, with the flight ascending from 961 ft asl to 36,010 ft asl, an increase of 35,049 ft achieved in 21 minutes while covering 138 nm.
Level cruise began 2 miles south-east of Jamilena in Andalusia and continued for 80 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 569 nm.
Descent was initiated 1 mile west of Saint-Martin-de-Fugères in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, descending from 36,030 ft asl to 2,088 ft asl, a loss of 33,942 ft over 18 minutes and a distance of 100 nm.
The final approach to runway 17L at Lyon-Saint-Exupéry Airport (LFLL) was flown from the north on a heading of 175.0° at 4 nm and 1,283 ft agl. The aircraft then descended from 1,336 ft agl to 38 ft agl in 101 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 17L, whose total length is 2,683 m, was executed with a threshold speed of 136 kt. Touchdown occurred 251 m down the runway at a speed of 136 kt, with a hard touchdown rate of minus 431 fpm and very good alignment. Local weather was 18 °C with a wind from 220° at 1 kt, a cross-wind of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt. The total landing distance recorded was 998 m, equivalent to 37 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect, confirming the aircraft remained on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking stand in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 818 nm, lasted 126 minutes, and consumed 5,083 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320ceo established the final approach to runway 17L at LFLL Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport from the north, flying a heading of 175.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,283 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits, and the aircraft descended from 1,336 ft agl to 38 ft agl in 101 seconds.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 136 kt. Touchdown occurred 251 m down the runway, with a touchdown speed of 136 kt described as a little fast and a hard touchdown rate of minus 431 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good and the local weather was temperature 18 °C, wind 1 kt at 220 °, crosswind 1 kt and headwind 1 kt.
The touchdown phase recorded a total landing distance of 998 m, representing 37 % of the 2,683 m runway, and the aircraft maintained very good alignment through the touchdown point.
During rollout the aircraft remained perfectly aligned with the runway centreline and completed the roll at the recorded distance.
The score of 73.6 % indicates solid performance; focus on reducing touchdown speed slightly below 136 kt and moderating the flare to lessen the hard rate of minus 431 fpm, keeping the aim point near the 300 m (1,000 ft) mark for optimal energy management.
