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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,072 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,072 m of the 3,216 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 793 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 08 at EETN Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport. The Airbus A320 took off after a takeoff distance of 2,340 meters, which accounted for 73% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were quite chilly, with a temperature of -6 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 4 knots from a direction of 110 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of Lagedi, Estonia. The climb was steep, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 1,162 feet above sea level to 1,709 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a brief enroute level cruise, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew overhead Iru, Estonia.
The enroute descent began 2 miles northwest of Tallinn, Estonia, and was a more gradual process, with the aircraft descending from 1,273 feet above sea level to 326 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 08 at EETN Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 73.0 degrees and an altitude of 192 feet above ground level, 1 nautical mile from the runway.
The landing was made on runway 08, which was 3,216 meters long. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target, at 144 knots. The touchdown point was 374 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 131 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -334 feet per minute was firm. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 5.5 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of -8 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 4 knots from a direction of 108 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,989 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 19 nautical miles and lasted for 8 minutes, using a total of 5,468 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at EETN Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport, with a score of 88.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 73.0° at 1 nautical mile and 192 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 08, which has a length of 3,216 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 374 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a good landing. The touchdown rate of -334 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled descent.
The threshold height at 62 feet agl was above the target, and the threshold speed of 144 knots was slightly above the target. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance was satisfactory. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centerline, but this did not significantly impact the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -8°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 108°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,989 meters was 62% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was successful, with minor deviations from the target parameters.
