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 1,660 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,660 m of the 2,233 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 575 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 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 32R at Cologne Bonn Airport (EDDK). The takeoff distance was 371 meters, which is 10% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 260 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of Eil in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. The climb took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 124 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,255 feet above sea level to 35,356 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,101 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south east of Kraichtal in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. This phase lasted for 25 minutes and covered a distance of 178 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Chalais in the Canton du Valais, Switzerland. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 69 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 34,815 feet above sea level to 2,226 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,589 feet.
The final approach to runway 36 at Turin Airport (LIMF) was made from the south, with a heading of 3.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 36, which has a length of 2,233 meters. The threshold height at 79 feet above ground level was well above the target, and the threshold speed was good at 135 knots.
The touchdown point was 159 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -252 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 260 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,579 meters, which is 71% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 16 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 380 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 93 minutes. The aircraft used 4,551 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at LIMF Turin Airport, with a score of 87.7%. The final approach to runway 36 was initiated from the south, with a heading of 3.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a threshold height that was well above the target, indicating a safe margin for landing. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 135 knots, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 159 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 131 knots was a bit faster than the ideal speed, resulting in a touchdown rate of -252 feet per minute (fpm), which is considered fair. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 5.2 meters from the centerline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing position.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 260°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not significantly impact the landing, and the aircraft was able to maintain control throughout the approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,579 meters was 71% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was excellent, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop safely. Overall, while there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing, the Airbus A321 aircraft was able to land safely and efficiently at LIMF Turin Airport.
