Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up, sink rate above what the glideslope needed and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,098 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 791 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Embraer E190 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 07 at Stuttgart Airport (EDDS), with the aircraft taking off after covering a distance of 1,742 meters, which was 57% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 11°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 209°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the tailwind was also 3 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Neuhausen auf den Fildern, where the aircraft climbed from 2,188 feet above sea level to 8,942 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,754 feet in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Pluderhausen and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute climb, which started overhead Bietigheim-Bissingen and took the aircraft from 8,717 feet above sea level to 14,908 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,191 feet in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to climb and level cruise, passing over various locations in Germany and Belgium, including Oelbronn-Duerrn, Sinsheim, Neckarsteinach, Wald-Michelbach, Lindenfels, Baumholder, Herborn, Urzig, Ambleve, La Gleize, Olne, Limbourg, Herve, Jupille-sur-Meuse, Horion-Hozemont, Wangenies, Jemeppe-sur-Sambre, and Rhisnes. The aircraft encountered various weather conditions, including temperature and wind speeds, during its journey.
The final approach to runway 24 at Brussels South Charleroi Airport (EBCI) was made from the north east, with the aircraft heading 244.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,621 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 24, which had a length of 2,098 meters. The threshold height at 188 feet above ground level was excessively over target, while the threshold speed was slightly above target at 136 knots.
The touchdown point was 328 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 114 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was heavy at -645 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.1 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 9°C temperature and a wind speed of 13 knots at 199°, with a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,237 meters, which was 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.6 meters from the centreline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 320 nautical miles, which was covered in 84 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,938 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The Embraer E190 aircraft successfully landed at EBCI Brussels South Charleroi Airport, but the landing was not without some issues. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 244.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,621 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 24, which has a length of 2,098 meters.
The threshold height at 188 feet agl was excessively over target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than it should have been at the point of touchdown. However, the threshold speed was slightly above target at 136 knots, which is a good sign. The touchdown point was 328 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 114 knots was good, indicating that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down to a safe speed before touchdown. However, the touchdown rate was heavy at -645 feet per minute (fpm), which is a concern as it may indicate that the aircraft was touching down too quickly. This could have put additional stress on the landing gear and may have affected the overall safety of the landing.
In addition to the issues with the touchdown, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.1 meters from the centerline, which is a significant deviation. This could have made the landing more difficult and may have affected the aircraft's ability to stop safely.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were not ideal, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind of 13 knots at 199°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 9 knots, which may have made the landing more challenging.
The total landing distance was 1,237 meters, which is 59% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, indicating that the aircraft may have taken some time to stop after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 12.6 meters from the centerline, which is a concern as it may indicate that the pilot had difficulty controlling the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the Embraer E190 aircraft successfully landed at EBCI Brussels South Charleroi Airport, there were several issues with the landing that need to be addressed. The excessive threshold height, heavy touchdown rate, and misaligned touchdown and rollout positions all indicate that the pilot may have had difficulty controlling the aircraft during the landing phase.
