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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,693 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 349 m touchdown sits inside 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 18 at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF). The takeoff distance was 1,360 meters, which is 34% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 192°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 5 knots. After departing from Frankfurt, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles west of Moerfelden-Walldorf in Hessen, Germany. The climb took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 60 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from 1,343 feet above sea level to 23,287 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles north of Mulfingen in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 30 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile northwest of Weihenzell in Bavaria, Germany. The descent took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 25 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 23,335 feet to 2,335 feet.
The final approach to runway 28 at Nuremberg Airport (EDDN) was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 279.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,290 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 28, which has a length of 2,693 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 351 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -386 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 13 knots at 285°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 13 knots. The total landing distance was 1,371 meters, which is 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 124 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 39 minutes. The aircraft used 2,023 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Nuremberg Airport (EDDN) with a score of 98.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 279.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,290 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 28, which has a length of 2,693 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 143 kt, which is a minor deviation. The touchdown distance of 351 meters was within the acceptable range, demonstrating good control and precision during the landing.
The touchdown speed of 138 kt was a little fast, which may indicate that the aircraft could have been slowed down slightly before touching down. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -386 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 13 kt from 285°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 13 kt, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The total landing distance of 1,371 meters was 51% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the wind conditions.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the rollout phase after touchdown. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft was safely on the ground.
