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 3,287 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 600 m past the threshold — beyond 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 EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport. This process took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 12, with the aircraft taking off after covering 51% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,072 meters, and the liftoff speed was 146 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 13°C temperature and winds of 11 knots at 149°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. The enroute climb started overhead EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,041 feet above sea level to 22,257 feet above sea level. This climb of 21,216 feet took place in 8 minutes and covered a distance of 36 nautical miles.
After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 3 miles northwest of Gilleleje, Denmark. This phase of the flight lasted 14 minutes and covered a distance of 40 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 12 miles southwest of Glommen, Sweden. The descent from 22,225 feet above sea level to 2,388 feet above sea level took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 58 nautical miles.
Following the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise, which started 2 miles southeast of Stenkullen, Sweden. This phase of the flight lasted 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The final approach to runway 21 at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport took place from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 206.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,287 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 21 was successful, with the touchdown point being 179 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 117 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -304 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were 10°C temperature and winds of 10 knots at 240°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,141 meters, which was 35% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 143 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 51 minutes. The aircraft used 2,034 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport, achieving a score of 91.2%. The final approach to runway 21 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 206.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed of 125 knots being maintained. The touchdown point was located 179 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 117 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The touchdown rate of -304 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled and stable landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 8 knots, which the pilots effectively managed during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,141 meters was 35% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. The pilots' skills and experience were evident in their ability to manage the aircraft during the final approach and landing phases, despite the presence of a crosswind and headwind.
