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 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 529 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 04R at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, a location situated in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region of France. The takeoff distance covered 37% of the runway, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 139 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport and continued until it reached a cruising altitude of 29,061 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 130 nautical miles and took 23 minutes to complete, with the aircraft ascending by a total of 28,045 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead the town of Gossolengo in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. This cruise phase lasted for 21 minutes and covered a distance of 142 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 4 miles west of the town of Gries im Sellrain in the Tirol region of Austria. This descent phase took 14 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 72 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending by a total of 24,302 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of the town of Weichs in the Bavaria region of Germany. This cruise phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent phase, which started overhead the town of Fahrenzhausen in Bavaria. This descent phase took 2 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending by a total of 1,316 feet.
The final approach to runway 08L at Munich Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 83.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,274 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 3,986 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed at 112 knots.
The touchdown point was 93 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 101 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was fair at -256 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 76 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 18 knots.
The total landing distance was 896 meters, which was 22% of the runway length. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 362 nautical miles, and the flight took a total of 76 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 1,103 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at EDDM Munich Airport on runway 08L. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 83.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level. The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, with a score of 98.2%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 93 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 101 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot maintained control and managed the aircraft's descent effectively. However, the touchdown rate of -256 feet per minute was considered fair, suggesting that the pilot could have made some adjustments to achieve a smoother touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 76°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was significant at 18 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway and maintained a perfect touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance of 896 meters was only 22% of the available runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control and managed the aircraft's descent effectively. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stabilize the aircraft after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control. The pilot's ability to navigate challenging weather conditions and maintain a perfect touchdown alignment was particularly noteworthy.
