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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,707 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 380 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, taking approximately 4 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 23, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 159 kt after covering 45% of the 1,269 m runway.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 9 °C temperature and a 5 kt wind at 169 °, resulting in a 4 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind. The enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of Winterhude, Germany, and saw the aircraft ascend from 1,118 ft to 33,703 ft in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 66 nm.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Lanz, Germany, and lasted for 16 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 119 nm. The descent from 33,782 ft to 3,843 ft started 3 miles northeast of Plessa, Germany, and took 17 minutes to complete, covering 83 nm. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, this time starting 1 mile northeast of Konetopy, Czech Republic, and lasting for 3 minutes as it covered 10 nm.
The final descent began overhead Boranovice, Czech Republic, and saw the aircraft descend from 3,822 ft to 2,471 ft in just 2 minutes, covering 5 nm. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 24 at Václav Havel Airport Prague, heading 245.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,258 ft above ground level.
The landing took place on a runway length of 3,707 m, with the threshold height being good and the threshold speed slightly above target at 134 kt. The touchdown distance was good at 379 m, but the touchdown speed of 127 kt was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -353 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 0 °C temperature and a 3 kt wind at 360 °, resulting in a 3 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
The total landing distance was 1,292 m, covering 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft took approximately 4 minutes to taxi to the parking area from the runway, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 290 nm, taking 66 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,099 kg of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague, achieving a score of 98.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 245.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 24, which has a length of 3,707 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 379 meters, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 127 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force upon touchdown.
The touchdown rate was firm, measuring -353 feet per minute (fpm), which is a typical value for a successful landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline, but this deviation did not affect the overall performance of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 360°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, and the tailwind component was 1 knot. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot, and the aircraft landed safely within the designated runway area.
The total landing distance was 1,292 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot executed the landing with good control and precision. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing.
Overall, the Airbus A321 landed safely at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague, with a score of 98.3%. The minor deviations from the target values did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
