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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,683 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,683 m of the 2,985 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 907 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A320 aircraft. The journey began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile (nm). The aircraft then departed from runway 12 at SBSG Governador Aluízio Alves International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,638 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots (kt).
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27 °C, with a wind speed of 14 kt at 170 °. The crosswind component was 13 kt, while the headwind component was 5 kt. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Sao Goncalo do Amarante, and reached a height of 17,672 feet above sea level (ft asl) in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nm.
The enroute level cruise phase started 23 miles east of Natal, and lasted for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 122 nm. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 57 miles southwest of SBFN Fernando de Noronha Airport, and descended from 17,669 ft asl to 1,899 ft asl in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 54 nm.
The flight then experienced a series of enroute climbs and descents, with the aircraft reaching a maximum height of 30,746 ft asl. The final approach to runway 12 at SBSG Governador Aluízio Alves International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 99.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,288 ft above ground level (agl).
The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 488 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 116 kt, which was good, and the touchdown rate was also good at -189 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.5 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 °C, with a wind speed of 7 kt at 170 °.
The total landing distance was 1,600 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.3 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 496 nm, and the flight duration was 131 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,309 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at SBSG Governador Aluízio Alves International Airport, achieving a score of 90.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 99.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 12, which has a length of 2,985 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the target threshold height, but the touchdown speed of 116 knots was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -189 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 170°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 2 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position. The total landing distance of 1,600 meters was 54% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
During the rollout, the aircraft was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 9.3 meters, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial misalignment. Overall, the landing was considered good, but there were some minor issues with alignment that may require attention from the pilots or air traffic control.
