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 five 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 3,075 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 597 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Milano Linate Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. Departure roll took place on runway 18, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,447 meters, which was 59% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 12°C temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots at 90 degrees. The crosswind was 12 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of San Donato Milanese, Lombardia, Italy, and continued for 19 minutes, covering a distance of 97 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,353 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 33,058 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles north of Arbaz, Canton du Valais, Switzerland. This phase lasted for 29 minutes and covered a distance of 173 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile south of Saulny, Grand Est, France. The descent from 32,755 feet to 10,326 feet took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 58 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to alternate between level cruise and descent phases, with each phase lasting for a few minutes. The level cruise phases took place over various locations, including 1 mile west of Troisvierges, Clervaux, Luxembourg, and 1 mile north west of Oupeye, Wallonia, Belgium. The descent phases occurred over Ensival, Wallonia, Belgium, and Kortenaken, Flanders, Belgium.
The final approach to runway 25R at Brussels Airport took place from the north east, with the aircraft heading 246.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,243 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway length of 3,075 meters, with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 138 knots. The touchdown point was 178 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -262 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 7°C temperature and a wind speed of 11 knots at 219 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 10 knots. The total landing distance was 1,315 meters, which was 43% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 417 nautical miles, taking 91 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,701 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport, achieving a score of 96.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 246.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,243 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed on the runway with a threshold height that met the required standards.
However, there were a few areas where the landing could be improved. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 137 kt, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown point was 178 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly further down the runway than intended. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 131 kt was a little fast, which could have resulted in a longer landing distance.
Despite these minor deviations, the aircraft's touchdown rate was fair at -262 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were also favorable, with a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 11 kt at 219°. The crosswind component was 5 kt, while the headwind component was 10 kt, which helped to reduce the landing distance.
The total landing distance of 1,315 meters was 43% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft landed relatively close to the threshold. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, showing that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's score of 96.1% reflects the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilots.
