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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,597 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 711 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 area to the runway at EGGD Bristol Airport, taking approximately 6 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 27, with a takeoff distance of 933 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 135 knots.
As the aircraft departed, it encountered local weather conditions of 6°C temperature and a wind of 20 knots at 330 degrees. The crosswind was 18 knots, while the headwind was 9 knots. The enroute climb started overhead EGGD Bristol Airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,514 feet above sea level to 5,698 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,184 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile south-west of Clevedon, lasting 3 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began another climb, this time from 5,689 feet above sea level to 34,869 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,180 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 153 nautical miles. The climb took place overhead Easter Compton.
The enroute level cruise resumed 9 miles south of Dover, lasting 61 minutes and covering 521 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles south-west of Langhirano, Italy, where it descended from 35,693 feet above sea level to 5,776 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,916 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 54 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began again 2 miles south-east of LIYN Campo di Volo Delta Team Lucca Orentano, lasting 5 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. However, the aircraft soon began its final descent, from 5,776 feet above sea level to 344 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,432 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22L at LIRP Pisa International Airport took place from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 211.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 330 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 22L, which had a length of 2,597 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 149 knots.
The touchdown point was 288 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 128 knots and a touchdown rate of -188 feet per minute, both of which were good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were 12°C temperature and a wind of 19 knots at 230 degrees, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 19 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,354 meters, which was 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking area took 9 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 762 nautical miles, taking 127 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,681 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Pisa International Airport (LIRP) on runway 22L, achieving a high score of 95.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-east, heading 211.0° at 1 nautical mile and 330 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed smoothly on the runway.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed of 149 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother landing. The touchdown point was 288 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance and suggests that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway.
The touchdown speed of 128 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -188 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe and smooth landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12°C and a headwind of 19 kt, may have contributed to the aircraft's performance.
The total landing distance of 1,354 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots executed a well-planned and controlled approach, and the aircraft responded well to the flight controls. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft performed well in the challenging weather conditions. The high score of 95.3% reflects the pilots' expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
