Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,779 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,779 m of the 3,987 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 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an A320-214SL, then departed from runway 28 at Keflavik International Airport (BIKF) in Iceland. The takeoff distance was 1,534 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 16 knots at 230 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile west of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,189 feet above sea level to 33,506 feet, an increase of 32,317 feet in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 108 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 6 miles northwest of Álftaver Airport (BIAL) in Iceland and lasted for 67 minutes, covering a distance of 538 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 36 miles northeast of Unst Airport (EGPW) in the Shetland Islands, Scotland, rising from 34,202 feet to 35,344 feet in 2 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 38 miles east of EGPW and lasted for 101 minutes, covering a distance of 817 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent overhead Willmering in Bavaria, Germany, descending from 36,915 feet to 9,676 feet in 13 minutes and covering 53 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again 2 miles south of Aiglsbach and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 2 miles south of Wolnzach, descending from 9,683 feet to 2,769 feet in 9 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08R at Munich Airport (EDDM) was made from the west, with a heading of 83.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,288 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which has a length of 3,987 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above target at 141 knots.
The touchdown point was 160 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -259 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 50 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,699 meters, which is 43% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,558 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 228 minutes. The aircraft used 8,361 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an A320-214SL, successfully landed at EDDM Munich Airport on runway 08R. The final approach was initiated from the west, with a heading of 83.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 98.1%.
Upon reaching the runway threshold, the aircraft's height was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal approach path. However, the threshold speed was also slightly above the target, at 141 knots. This suggests that the aircraft may have been experiencing some drag or other factors that affected its descent rate.
The touchdown point was located 160 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was a little fast, indicating that the aircraft may have been experiencing some difficulty in slowing down during the final stages of the approach. The touchdown rate of -259 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
One of the notable aspects of this landing was the runway touchdown alignment, which was described as very good. This indicates that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown, which is essential for a safe and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a relatively light wind of 5 knots at 50°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions would have made the landing relatively straightforward.
The total landing distance of 1,699 meters was 43% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was described as perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing it to come to a stop without any issues.
Overall, the landing of the A320-214SL at EDDM Munich Airport was a successful one, with the aircraft performing well in terms of its approach and touchdown. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal approach path, the aircraft's performance was generally satisfactory, and the landing was completed safely and efficiently.
