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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,498 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 439 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 09 at Tuzla International Airport (LQTZ). The takeoff distance was 1,406 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it passed over the Tuzla Jegin Lug Sport Airfield (LQJL) and began its enroute climb. The aircraft ascended from 1,881 feet above sea level to 27,948 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,067 feet, in just 9 minutes and covering a distance of 34 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 3 miles south east of Zeljezno Polje, lasting 10 minutes and covering 69 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 8 miles north west of Sanski Most. The descent from 27,998 feet above sea level to 14,043 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,955 feet, took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 38 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 4 miles east of Cvitovic, lasting 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its descent, starting 2 miles north east of Kamenica Skradnicka. The descent from 14,006 feet above sea level to 6,014 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,992 feet, took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 25 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 3 miles east of Bribir, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Silo. The descent from 5,996 feet above sea level to 404 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,591 feet, took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile east of Omisalj, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final climb, starting 1 mile south west of Kraljevica. The climb from 819 feet above sea level to 4,862 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,043 feet, took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile north east of Njivice. The descent from 4,829 feet above sea level to 623 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,205 feet, took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32 at Rijeka Airport (LDRI) was made from the south east, with a heading of 330.0° at 1 nautical mile and 349 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 32 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 420 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 145 knots was fast, and the touchdown rate was very heavy at -736 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 51.7 meters from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,130 meters, which is 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 45.1 meters from the centreline. The taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1
The Airbus A320 aircraft has successfully landed at LDRI Rijeka Airport, but with some notable issues. The final approach to runway 32 was initiated from the south east, heading 330.0° at 1 nautical mile and 349 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,498 meters.
However, there were some discrepancies in the landing performance. The threshold height at 62 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. Additionally, the threshold speed was well above the target at 150 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was traveling faster than necessary when reaching the threshold.
Despite these issues, the touchdown distance was good at 420 meters, which is a positive aspect of the landing. However, the touchdown speed of 145 knots was faster than desired, and the touchdown rate was very heavy at -736 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft was experiencing a significant amount of deceleration upon touchdown, which can be a concern for the safety of the aircraft and its occupants.
Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 51.7 meters from the centerline, which can make it more difficult for the aircraft to maintain control and stability during the landing roll. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°.
The total landing distance was 1,130 meters, which is 45% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, but it is worth noting that the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 45.1 meters from the centerline. This can make it more challenging for the aircraft to maintain control and stability during the landing roll, and it may require additional corrective action from the pilots to ensure a safe and stable landing.
