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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,037 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 550 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Munich Airport's runway 26L, the Airbus A321 began its takeoff roll, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 152 kt in 1,362 meters, which was 34% of the available runway length. The aircraft then climbed away from the airport, navigating through a local weather scenario characterized by a temperature of 14 °C, a wind of 11 kt at 290 °, resulting in a 5 kt crosswind and a 10 kt headwind.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began its ascent from 2,518 ft asl to 16,007 ft asl, a vertical increase of 13,489 ft in just 6 minutes, while covering 18 nm. The climb was followed by a series of level cruises, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude for short periods of time, covering distances of up to 32 nm. The enroute descent phase saw the aircraft gradually lose altitude, with a notable decrease of 5,978 ft in 5 minutes, as it transitioned from 15,998 ft asl to 10,019 ft asl. The final approach to Stuttgart Airport's runway 07 was initiated from a distance of 4 nm, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 74.0 ° and an altitude of 1,392 ft agl.
The Airbus A321 touched down on runway 07 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport, with a touchdown speed of 128 kt, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown point was 136 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the aircraft's touchdown rate was firm at -342 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. Following a taxiing period of 8 minutes, covering 2 nm, the aircraft came to a stop at the designated parking area. The total flight distance was 153 nm, and the aircraft used 727 kg of fuel, resulting in a fuel efficiency of -727 kg.
The aircraft touched down on runway 07 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport with a firm touchdown rate of -342 fpm, slightly above the target speed of 128 kt. The touchdown point was 136 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-shoot. The threshold speed was also slightly above target at 141 kt, which may have contributed to the firm touchdown rate.
The approach quality was good, with a heading of 74.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,392 feet above ground level. The runway length of 3,037 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,297 meters, which represented 43% of the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind of 11 kt at 340°, resulted in a crosswind of 11 kt and a tailwind of 1 kt. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a high degree of control during the approach.
The rollout phase was characterized by very good alignment, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 97.1%. However, the touchdown speed and rate could be improved to achieve a more optimal landing.
