Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
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 2,447 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 580 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from London Heathrow Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey on runway 09R, taking off with a distance of 1,343 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 162 knots, overcoming a headwind of 4 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot. The local temperature was 12 degrees Celsius, with a wind direction of 99 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute level, it started at an altitude of 1,101 feet above sea level and reached 28,371 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 81 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft maintaining a speed of around 250 knots. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted 54 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 473 nautical miles at an altitude of 28,371 feet. The descent phase that began 28 miles south of Seaford, England, saw the aircraft lose 23,905 feet in altitude in 16 minutes, covering 92 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18 at Milano Linate Airport was initiated from the north, with the aircraft descending from 4,010 feet above sea level to 1,659 feet in 3 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The landing was executed with a touchdown speed of 121 knots and a touchdown rate of -404 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 1,417 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 5 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 692 nautical miles, with a total fuel consumption of 5,300 kilograms and a flight duration of 1 hour and 47 minutes.
The aircraft, an Airbus A320, successfully completed a landing on runway 18 at LIML Milano Linate Airport. The approach from the north, heading 175.0° at 4 nm and 1,295 ft above ground level, was characterized by good quality, with the pilot maintaining a stable and controlled descent. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 134 kt was achieved as expected.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 121 kt was within the acceptable range, indicating a good touchdown characteristic. However, the touchdown rate of -404 fpm was slightly higher than desired, suggesting a harder-than-ideal touchdown. The aircraft landed 179 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.0 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the slightly harder-than-ideal touchdown.
The aircraft's rollout was completed on the remaining 1,417 m of the runway, which is 58% of the total length. Although the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.0 m from the centreline, the overall performance was satisfactory. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13 °C and a light headwind of 3 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. Overall, the landing was scored 89.9%, reflecting a good but not exceptional performance.
