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 500 ft gate: speed below 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 3,189 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 540 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport, a process that took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 24, and the takeoff distance was 1,522 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 25°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 250°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb began overhead Chilly-Mazarin in Ile-de-France, France, where the aircraft ascended from 1,316 feet above sea level to 36,985 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,669 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 131 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Marville in Grand Est, France, and lasted for 18 minutes, covering 153 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 3 miles northwest of EDX4 Schotten in Hessen, Germany, where the aircraft descended from 37,018 feet above sea level to 2,373 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,645 feet in 19 minutes, covering 114 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of Arpke in Lower Saxony, Germany, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27R at EDDV Hannover Airport was made from the east, heading 272.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,256 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 27R was successful, with a touchdown point 123 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 125 knots, which was slightly faster than the threshold speed. The touchdown rate was hard at -431 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 280°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,040 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 416 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 75 minutes. The aircraft used 2,896 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at EDDV Hannover Airport, achieving a score of 93.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 272.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 27R, which has a length of 3,189 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down with a threshold speed of 134 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown point was 123 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft could have been slightly more precise in its touchdown. The touchdown speed of 125 knots was also a bit faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -431 feet per minute (fpm) was indeed hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or jolt upon touchdown. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a gentle headwind of 6 knots from a direction of 280°. The crosswind component was minimal, at just 1 knot, which made the landing even smoother.
The total landing distance of 1,040 meters was 33% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to decelerate quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, while there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and rate, the Airbus A320 landed safely and efficiently at EDDV Hannover Airport, achieving a high score of 93.7%.
