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 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,811 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,811 m of the 3,123 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 826 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the A321 started at LFPO Orly, with a distance of 2 nm from parking to the runway. The duration of the flight was 7 minutes. The departure roll was on runway 07, with a takeoff distance of 949 m, which was 33% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 146 knots. The local weather at departure was 12 °C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 30°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The enroute climb began overhead Villeneuve-le-Roi in Ile-de-France, with a climb from 1,301 ft asl to 40,586 ft asl, an increase of 39,285 ft. The climb lasted for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 92 nm. The enroute descent started 1 mile north-west of Vingt-Hanaps in Normandie, descending from 41,771 ft asl to 39,086 ft asl, a decrease of 2,685 ft over a distance of 4 nm in 1 minute.
The flight involved multiple climbs and descents at different waypoints, with various changes in altitude over short distances. The final descent began 2 miles south-west of Mesquitela in Distrito de Viseu, Portugal, descending from 37,077 ft asl to 2,677 ft asl, a decrease of 34,400 ft over 20 minutes and a distance of 116 nm.
The landing took place on runway 20 at LPPT Lisbon, with a runway length of 3,123 m. The height at the threshold was 30 ft agl, and the speed at the threshold was 132 knots. The touchdown occurred 609 m from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 123 knots and a vertical speed indicator of -153 ft/m. The local weather at landing was 23 °C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 280°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and no headwind. The total landing distance was 1,513 m, which was 48% of the runway length.
The distance from the runway to parking was less than 1 nm, and the duration of this segment was 3 minutes. The total flight distance covered was 794 nm, with a total duration of 136 minutes. The flight consumed 5,070 kg of fuel.
First of all, congratulations on achieving a landing score of 92.1%! This is an impressive result that highlights your skill and proficiency as a pilot.
Let's break down your landing performance in detail.
During the Approach Phase, you demonstrated excellent glideslope alignment which indicates your ability to maintain the correct descent angle towards the runway. Additionally, your speed was slightly below the target which shows good control and awareness of your aircraft's performance.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you managed to maintain a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the descent to the actual touchdown. However, it was noted that there was a very poor landing flare. This is an important aspect of the landing process as it helps cushion the impact and ensure a smooth touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was good and your speed was on target. These factors are crucial in ensuring a safe and smooth landing. It is worth noting that the touchdown point was 631 ft beyond the touchdown zone. This could be an area for improvement as landing within the designated zone helps optimize runway usage and efficiency. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown position was rated as very good which indicates that you were able to touch down in the desired location on the runway.
Lastly, during the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was rated as very good. This shows your ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout process and keep it aligned with the runway centerline.
Overall, your landing score of 92.1% is a testament to your skill and professionalism as a pilot. It is clear that you have a strong foundation in key areas such as glideslope alignment, speed control, and runway alignment. By focusing on improving areas such as the landing flare and touchdown zone accuracy, you can further enhance your landing performance and strive for even higher scores in the future. Keep up the good work and continue to hone your skills to become an even more proficient pilot. Great job!
