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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,839 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,839 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 639 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 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, FBW AIR TRANSAT C-GCKU, then departed from runway 04R at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,310 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 20 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport. The climb took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 138 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 735 feet above sea level to 36,429 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,694 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Rescaldina, Italy. This phase lasted for 32 minutes and covered a distance of 494 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile northeast of Seehof, Germany. The descent took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 109 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 36,329 feet above sea level to 1,789 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,540 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 6 miles east of Koge, Denmark. This phase lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 04L at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 41.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,262 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 04L was successful, with the touchdown point being 219 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -256 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1 degree Celsius, with a wind speed of 16 knots at a direction of 60 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 15 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,754 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 760 nautical miles, with the flight taking 102 minutes and using 4,419 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, FBW AIR TRANSAT C-GCKU, successfully landed on runway 04L at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport with a score of 90.1%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 41.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,262 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 219 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -256 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a more stable rate of descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1°C, with a wind speed of 16 knots at a direction of 60°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 15 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position by 5.5 meters from the centerline.
Despite the minor deviations, the aircraft's runway rollout alignment was deemed very good, indicating a high level of control and stability during the landing phase. The total landing distance of 1,754 meters was 59% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more stable rate of descent and aligning the touchdown position with the centerline.
