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 1,695 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 608 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 36 at Milano Linate Airport (LIML). The takeoff distance was 1,532 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 1 knot from 359°, with no crosswind and a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south west of Segrate, Lombardia, Italy. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 100 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,403 feet above sea level to 37,318 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,915 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 28 miles south west of Bonassola, Liguria, Italy, and lasted for 45 minutes, covering a distance of 326 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 21 miles south west of San Marco, Campania, Italy, and took 22 minutes to complete, covering a distance of 126 nautical miles. During this period, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 37,177 feet above sea level to 1,484 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,693 feet. The final approach to runway 15 at Reggio Calabria Airport (LICR) was made from the north west, with a heading of 153.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,408 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 15 at LICR was successful, with a touchdown point 189 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 121 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was hard at -421 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 3 knots from 200°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,251 meters, which accounted for 74% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took only 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 561 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 1 hour and 42 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,469 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at Reggio Calabria Airport (LICR) with a score of 93.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 153.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,408 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft touched down on runway 15, which has a length of 1,695 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 129 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the touchdown point was 189 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 121 knots was within the acceptable range, but the touchdown rate was relatively hard at -421 feet per minute (fpm), which may have caused some stress on the aircraft's landing gear.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight drift or crosswind effect. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 3 knots at 200°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the headwind component was also 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach.
The total landing distance was 1,251 meters, which is 74% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the approach and touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and avoided any significant deviations from the centerline.
Overall, the landing was executed with good control and precision, but there were some minor deviations from the intended landing spot and a relatively hard touchdown rate. However, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were satisfactory, and the landing was considered successful with a score of 93.0%.
