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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,340 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,340 ft of the 8,674 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,098 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (KFLL), the Airbus A300 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 10L, the crew initiated the departure roll, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 165 knots, utilizing 70% of the available runway length of 5,855 feet.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile northeast of Dania Beach, Florida. The climb phase was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, from 980 feet above sea level to 32,984 feet, a total ascent of 32,004 feet, in 23 minutes and covering 163 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 33 minutes and covered 257 nautical miles, starting approximately 2 miles north of Christmas, Florida. The crew then initiated the enroute descent phase, which began 5 miles southwest of Walterboro, South Carolina, and ended with a descent from 33,000 feet to 4,415 feet, a decrease of 28,585 feet, in 29 minutes and covering 176 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it entered another level cruise phase, this time lasting only 3 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles, starting overhead Huntersville, North Carolina. The final descent phase began 4 miles southeast of Lowesville, North Carolina, and ended with a descent from 4,251 feet to 2,204 feet, a decrease of 2,046 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 18L at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT), touching down on the runway at a speed of 130 knots and a touchdown distance of 1,100 feet. The total landing distance was 5,080 feet, utilizing 59% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 622 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 20,714 pounds of fuel during the journey, which lasted a total of 102 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 18L at KCLT Charlotte Douglas International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 176.0° at 4 nm and 1,449 ft above ground level (agl), with the aircraft aligning perfectly with the runway centerline. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was a little fast at 130 kt, but the touchdown distance of 1,100 ft was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -209 fpm was fair, indicating a moderate deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 82°F and a negligible wind of 2 kt at 0°, contributed to a stable and predictable landing environment.
The total landing distance of 5,080 ft was 59% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline position throughout the deceleration phase. Overall, the landing was executed with high precision and control, resulting in a score of 99.8%.
