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: six 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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,859 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,859 ft of the 8,361 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,653 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight was conducted on an Embraer E190 aircraft, departing from Kurumoch International Airport (UWWW) in Samara, Russia. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than one nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 05, with a takeoff distance of 3,434 feet, which accounted for 41% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 48°F and a wind speed of 5 knots at 220 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 5 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started approximately one mile northeast of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,018 feet above sea level to 1,610 feet above sea level, an increase of 593 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 4 miles east of the airport, with the aircraft descending from 1,590 feet above sea level to 789 feet above sea level, a decrease of 801 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23 at Kurumoch International Airport was conducted from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 241.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 362 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 23 was successful, with the touchdown point being 293 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -348 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions during landing were a temperature of 43°F and a wind speed of 7 knots at 227 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 5,598 feet, accounting for 67% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 11 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 32,529 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Embraer E190 aircraft successfully landed at Kurumoch International Airport, achieving a score of 91.9%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 241.0° at 1 nautical mile and 362 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course, aligning perfectly with the runway touchdown zone.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 293 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was well within the target range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -348 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a stable and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 43°F and a gentle headwind of 7 knots at 227°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, which contributed to the aircraft's stable approach and landing. The runway length of 8,361 feet provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely.
The total landing distance of 5,598 feet was 67% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was excellent, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a stable and controlled deceleration.
Overall, the Embraer E190's landing at Kurumoch International Airport was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating a high degree of control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases. The minor deviation from the touchdown zone and the firm touchdown rate were the only areas for improvement, but overall, the landing was well-executed and safe.
