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 1,879 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,879 m of the 3,590 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 770 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A300 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at GCTS Tenerife Sur Airport, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 07, with a takeoff distance of 1,926 meters, which was 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 174 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 24°C temperature and winds of 11 knots at 129°. The crosswind was 10 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb started overhead El Medano, a town in the Canary Islands, Spain, where the aircraft climbed from 1,196 feet above sea level to 29,212 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,016 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 12 miles northwest of El Cotillo, another town in the Canary Islands, Spain, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 140 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 29,134 feet above sea level to 30,883 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,749 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 102 miles northwest of Sidi Ifni, a city in Morocco, and lasted for 213 minutes, covering a distance of 1,627 nautical miles. As the aircraft continued its journey, it encountered various weather conditions and navigated through different altitudes. The enroute descent started 1 mile southeast of Lengenfeld, a town in Saxony, Germany, where the aircraft descended from 30,234 feet above sea level to 23,549 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,685 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute level cruise, this time starting 1 mile southwest of Hranice, a town in the Czech Republic, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile northwest of Greiz, a town in Thuringia, Germany, where the aircraft descended from 23,204 feet above sea level to 4,925 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,280 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 47 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Obhausen, a town in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile east of Steuden, a town in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, where the aircraft descended from 4,498 feet above sea level to 1,703 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,795 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08L at EDDP Leipzig/Halle Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 86.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,251 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 08L was successful, with the touchdown point being 359 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 145 knots, while the touchdown speed at 135 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was good at -160 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 12°C temperature and winds of 7 knots at 40°. The crosswind was 5 knots,
The Airbus A300 successfully landed at EDDP Leipzig/Halle Airport, achieving a score of 91.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 86.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,251 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 08L, which has a length of 3,590 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 145 knots. The touchdown point was 359 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 135 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -160 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 40°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was also 5 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,803 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
