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 3,191 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 630 m past the threshold — beyond 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 LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 08L, with a takeoff distance of 1,202 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 169 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24°C, a wind speed of 15 knots at 69°, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and a 15-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead Mitry-Mory in the Ile-de-France region of France. The enroute climb started at an altitude of 1,368 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 29,506 feet, an increase of 28,138 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile north of Rumillies in the Wallonia region of Belgium and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile northwest of Mariakerke in the Flanders region of Belgium, where the aircraft descended from 29,364 feet to 1,272 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,092 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 79 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the southwest, heading 58.0° at an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was successful, with a total landing distance of 1,173 meters, which was 37% of the runway length. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 143 knots. The touchdown point was 209 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 knots. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -113 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, a wind speed of 15 knots at 60°, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 15-knot headwind. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing to the parking area from the runway took only 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 217 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 49 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 2,484 kilograms.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a score of 98.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 58.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed smoothly on runway 06, which has a length of 3,191 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 143 knots. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown point was 209 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -113 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 15 knots at 60°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 15 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The total landing distance was 1,173 meters, which is 37% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating a well-executed approach and landing.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the Airbus A321 landed safely and efficiently at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, with a score of 98.0%.
