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.
Side view — the last 1,955 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,955 m of the 3,707 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 684 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LSZH Zürich Airport, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 32, with a takeoff distance of 1,874 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 172 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at a direction of 269°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was also 1 knot. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Niederglatt / Grafschaft in the Kanton Zurich, Switzerland. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,442 feet above sea level to 35,374 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,932 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 122 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 1 mile south of Lenggries in Bavaria, Germany. This phase of the flight lasted for 10 minutes and covered a distance of 80 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started overhead Wallerfing in Bavaria, Germany. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 35,390 feet above sea level to 2,512 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,878 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 96 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague was made from the southwest, with a heading of 65.0° at an altitude of 1,298 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 06, which has a length of 3,707 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 142 knots. The touchdown point was 269 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -193 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.1 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 220°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,875 meters, which is 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 308 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 65 minutes. The aircraft used 3,033 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague, achieving a score of 96.2%. The final approach to runway 06 was initiated from the south west, with a heading of 65.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,298 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 3,707 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 knots. The touchdown point was located 269 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly further down the runway than intended. The touchdown speed of 135 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -193 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.1 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 220°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,875 meters was 51% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled path after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the intended touchdown point and speed.
