Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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 1,707 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,707 m of the 2,740 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 584 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight aboard the Airbus A321 began with a 16-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway, covering 3 nm. The aircraft entered the runway 36C at KCLT Charlotte Douglas International Airport and had an average speed of 9 kn. The departure roll on the runway covered 50% of the distance, with liftoff achieved at a speed of 159 kn. The local weather at takeoff was 12 °C with a 4 kn wind at 10 °, resulting in a 4 kn headwind and 1 kn crosswind.
The departure climb saw the aircraft reach various altitudes, eventually starting the enroute climb from 1 mile north of KCLT. Climbing to an altitude of 33,511 ft, the aircraft covered 100 nm in 18 minutes. The enroute level cruise began 5 miles southwest of Homeland Park, lasting 93 minutes and covering 585 nm. The descent commenced 3 miles northeast of Merryville, descending from 34,568 ft to 1,391 ft over 111 nm in 26 minutes.
The final approach to runway 08L at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport saw the aircraft following a precise descent path, with a good touchdown speed of 140 kn. The touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated zone, with a fair touchdown rate of -273 ft/m and a slight misalignment from the centerline. The total landing distance covered 1,627 m, equivalent to 59% of the runway length.
Upon exiting the runway, the aircraft had an average taxiing speed of 39 kn back to the parking area, covering 2 nm in 17 minutes. The total flight distance for this journey was 806 nm, taking 166 minutes and utilizing 7,206 kg of fuel. Overall, the flight was well-executed with smooth operations throughout its various phases.
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 90.5% reflects a solid performance with room for improvement in a few key areas.
During the Approach Phase, you demonstrated excellent glideslope alignment and maintained a good threshold speed of 145 knots. This indicates a good understanding of the approach procedures and the ability to control the aircraft speed effectively.
However, in the Landing Phase, while your threshold height was good, your landing flare was identified as very poor. The landing flare is a critical part of the landing process as it helps to ensure a smooth and controlled touchdown. I would recommend focusing on improving your technique in this area to enhance the overall quality of your landings.
Moving on to the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate of -273 ft/min and touchdown speed of 140 knots were both within acceptable parameters. However, it is worth noting that the touchdown point was 168 meters beyond the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.4 meters from the centerline. These discrepancies indicate a need for better precision and accuracy in your touchdown execution.
In conclusion, while your overall landing score is commendable, there are clear areas for improvement in your landing flare technique, touchdown point accuracy, and runway alignment. By focusing on these areas during your next landing attempts, you can further enhance your performance and strive for even better results. Keep up the good work and continue to fine-tune your skills to achieve exemplary landings in the future.
