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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,037 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 779 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, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 10 at EDDN Nuremberg Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,280 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 8°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 120°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of EDDN Nuremberg Airport and saw the aircraft ascend from 2,114 feet above sea level to 14,033 feet above sea level, an increase of 11,920 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 1 mile southwest of Windsbach, Germany, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began 1 mile east of Ilshofen, Germany, and saw the aircraft descend from 14,044 feet above sea level to 13,040 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,005 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, this time overhead Michelfeld, Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile west of Grosserlach, Germany, and saw the aircraft descend from 13,074 feet above sea level to 2,482 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,592 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 254.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,247 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 25, which had a length of 3,037 meters, saw the aircraft touch down 331 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 138 knots, which was a little fast, while the touchdown rate was firm at -370 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 260°. The crosswind was 0 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,338 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 101 nautical miles, took 39 minutes, and used 1,577 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 25 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport, achieving a score of 83.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 254.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,247 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a good threshold speed of 139 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
However, the threshold height at 125 feet agl was excessively over the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high during the approach. Despite this, the touchdown point was 331 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance. The touchdown speed of 138 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -370 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 260°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was 3 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The total landing distance of 1,338 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal approach and landing parameters.
