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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,707 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 318 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes. This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 18, taking off with a takeoff distance of 919 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 145 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 50 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,041 feet above sea level to 31,530 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,489 feet, in just 15 minutes and covering a distance of 84 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 2 miles west of Ginnasluokta in Nordland Fylke, Norway. This phase of the flight lasted for 182 minutes and covered a distance of 1,137 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile south west of Zhor in the Jihocesky kraj region of the Czech Republic. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 33,220 feet above sea level to 2,459 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,762 feet, in just 19 minutes and covering a distance of 39 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague was made from the north east, with the aircraft heading at 245.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,257 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 24, which had a length of 3,707 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 127 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 318 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 127 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -459 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,374 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,269 nautical miles, and the flight took a total of 231 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,177 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague, achieving a score of 96.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 245.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,257 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 24, which has a length of 3,707 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 127 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating that the pilot had maintained control and was on track to land smoothly. The touchdown distance of 318 meters was within acceptable limits, further indicating a well-executed landing.
However, there were a few areas for improvement. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was slightly faster than recommended, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate of -459 feet per minute (fpm). This could potentially put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and may have resulted in a bumpier ride for passengers.
Despite these minor issues, the overall performance of the aircraft was impressive. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was aligned with the runway as the aircraft touched down. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 4°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 320°, did not pose any significant challenges for the pilot.
The total landing distance of 1,374 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating that the pilot had maintained control and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop smoothly and safely.
Overall, the Airbus A319's landing at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague was a success, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach and landing. While there were a few areas for improvement, the aircraft's performance was impressive, and the landing was completed safely and efficiently.
