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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,632 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,632 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 302 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 2.51 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
A flight was undertaken on an Airbus A220-300 aircraft. The aircraft departed from Brussels Airport, where it took 11 minutes to taxi from the parking to the runway, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 07L, covering 28% of the runway's length. The aircraft took off with a liftoff speed of 157 knots.
The local weather at the time of departure was characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 140°. There was a slight crosswind of 1 knot, but no headwind. As the aircraft climbed, it transitioned into enroute climb at Steenokkerzeel, Flanders, Belgium. During this climb, the aircraft's altitude increased by 19,780 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles. After reaching a high altitude, the aircraft leveled off and underwent enroute level cruise.
This cruise phase lasted only 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another ascent at Braives, Wallonia, Belgium, climbing from an altitude of 21,068 feet to 35,046 feet in 8 minutes, over a 58-nautical-mile distance. After another cruise phase, the aircraft began its descent at Sarstedt, Lower Saxony, Germany.
The aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,319 feet to 23,634 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 49 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and underwent another enroute level cruise phase before beginning a descent again. This time, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 23,312 feet to 3,326 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 59 nautical miles.
After a brief cruise phase, the aircraft began its descent into EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport. The final approach took place from the east, heading towards runway 24L. The aircraft touched down on the runway with a touchdown distance of 304 meters. The threshold speed was good, but the threshold height was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than desired during the descent.
The touchdown rate was very heavy, at -1,260 feet per minute, which was likely a result of the aircraft touching down quickly due to the descent rate. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather at the time of landing was characterized by a temperature of 14°C, a wind speed of 2 knots at 280°, a crosswind of 1 knot, and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,558 meters, which is 39% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 7.8 meters. Taxing to the parking from the runway took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 401 nautical miles, taking a total of 80 minutes and using 1,537 kilograms of fuel.
On the Airbus A220-300's landing at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport's runway 24L, the performance was overall good, but with a few notable exceptions. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east at a heading of 250.0°, 4 nautical miles and 1,241 feet above ground level (AGL). As it descended for the landing, the threshold height was found to be 86 feet AGL, which was significantly above the target, indicating that the pilot may have had a slight delay in starting the descent to the runway.
However, the speed recorded during the landing was good, with a threshold speed of 146 knots. Additionally, the touchdown distance was satisfactory at 304 meters, and the touchdown speed of 151 knots was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate, on the other hand, was very heavy at -1,260 feet per minute (fpm), which is typically not desired as it may indicate a slightly steeper-than-normal descent. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained alignment with the runway during the touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a light headwind of 2 knots at 280°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, which made the landing conditions relatively easy. Overall, the total landing distance of 1,558 meters, which was 39% of the runway length, was satisfactory.
However, on the taxiway, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.8 meters. Despite minor issues, the landing performance of the Airbus A220-300 at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport's runway 24L was generally good.
