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 2,402 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 63 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an EasyJet FWB, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Memmingen Allgau Airport, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 24, with the aircraft taking off from 60% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,430 meters, and the liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft lifted off, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees. The crosswind and headwind were both 1 knot, resulting in a relatively calm environment. The enroute climb started overhead Memmingerberg, Bavaria, Germany, where the aircraft climbed from 3,048 feet above sea level to 5,019 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,971 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began overhead Tannheim Airfield, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany, where the aircraft descended from 4,991 feet above sea level to 4,381 feet above sea level, a decrease of 610 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile southwest of Egg an der Gunz, Bavaria, Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at Memmingen Allgau Airport was made from the north east, heading 235.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,532 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 24, which had a length of 2,402 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was a little below the target at 116 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 62 meters, and the touchdown speed was 115 knots, which was also good.
However, the touchdown rate was heavy at -673 feet per minute, indicating a steeper descent than intended. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees. The crosswind and headwind were both 1 knot.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 20 nautical miles and took 9 minutes to complete, using 444 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, identified as FWB EasyJet, successfully landed at Memmingen Allgau Airport (EDJA) on runway 24. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 235.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,532 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing, achieving a score of 92.3%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a distance of 62 meters, which is considered good. The touchdown speed of 115 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -673 feet per minute (fpm) was deemed heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than intended.
The threshold speed, which is the speed at which the aircraft crosses the runway threshold, was a little below the target speed of 116 knots. Despite this, the aircraft was able to maintain perfect runway touchdown alignment, indicating a high level of control and precision during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, which is relatively minimal and would not have significantly impacted the landing. Overall, the FWB EasyJet demonstrated a high level of skill and proficiency in its landing at Memmingen Allgau Airport.
