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.

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 1,671 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,671 m of the 3,312 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 841 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A319 then departed from runway 22R at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,084 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, a wind speed of 10 knots at 200°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Tessera, a location in Veneto, Italy. The climb took place from an altitude of 1,017 feet above sea level to 2,856 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,839 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which began 3 miles west of Giudecca, another location in Veneto, Italy. This cruise phase lasted for 8 minutes and covered a distance of 19 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it started its enroute descent 1 mile northwest of Eraclea, a location in Veneto, Italy. The descent took place from an altitude of 2,957 feet above sea level to 1,054 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,903 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 22L at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 215.0°, at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,042 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 22L was successful, with the touchdown point being 358 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 114 knots, which was good, but the touchdown rate was very hard at -548 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, a wind speed of 11 knots at 210°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,524 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 41 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 22 minutes, during which the aircraft used 886 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport, with a score of 82.6%. The final approach to runway 22L was initiated from the north east, heading 215.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,042 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a slightly above-target threshold speed of 126 knots, which is a relatively high speed for a landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 358 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 114 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a good control of the aircraft's descent. Unfortunately, the touchdown rate was very hard, with a rate of -548 feet per minute (fpm), which is a concern for the safety of the aircraft and its occupants.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots, which is a significant factor in the aircraft's approach and landing. The runway length at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport is 3,312 meters, which is more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,524 meters, or 46% of the runway.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.8 meters, which is a minor deviation. Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, and the crew's skills were demonstrated in controlling the aircraft's descent and touchdown. However, the hard touchdown rate and deviation from the touchdown zone are areas that require attention and improvement.
