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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,914 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 526 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Strasbourg Airport, LFST, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. Departure roll took place on runway 23, with a takeoff distance of 1,350 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 148 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 7°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 310°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the town of Duppigheim in Grand Est, France. The climb took 19 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,526 feet above sea level to 36,006 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,480 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead the town of Bouverans in Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France. This phase lasted for 34 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 243 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead the town of Cers in Occitanie, France. The descent took 21 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 36,219 feet above sea level to 5,775 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,444 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile south of the town of Mollet del Valles in Catalunya, Spain. This phase lasted for 6 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 5 miles southeast of the town of Vilassar de Mar in Catalunya, Spain. The descent took 5 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 5,717 feet above sea level to 1,293 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,424 feet.
The final approach to runway 24R at Barcelona-El Prat Airport, LEBL, was made from the northeast, with a heading of 246.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 230°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 24R, which had a length of 2,914 meters. The threshold height at 59 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 132 knots. The touchdown point was 84 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -284 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 1,364 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 513 nautical miles, and the flight took 96 minutes. The aircraft used 3,410 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, achieving a score of 93.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 246.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 24R, which has a length of 2,914 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, 84 meters past the designated area. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -284 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots coming from 230°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,364 meters was 47% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite a few minor deviations from the target parameters.
