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 seven checks, where the approach path is 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 2,692 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 255 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A350-1000 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 28R at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport in São Paulo, Brazil. The takeoff distance was 1,680 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 157 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 27°C temperature and winds of 11 knots at 318°. The crosswind was 10 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb started over SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, where the aircraft ascended from 3,455 feet above sea level to 32,971 feet, an increase of 29,515 feet in 34 minutes, covering a distance of 251 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 79 minutes and covered a distance of 663 nautical miles. This phase started 14 miles south of Brumadinho, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The aircraft continued to climb and cruise at various altitudes and locations, including 5 miles north-west of Monte Santo, Bahia, Brazil, and 5 miles south-west of SNKU Canudos Airport, Canudos, Bahia, Brazil.
The aircraft also experienced several level cruise phases, including one that lasted 118 minutes and covered a distance of 1,012 nautical miles, starting 5 miles south-west of SNKU Canudos Airport. Another level cruise phase started at a latitude of 5.1494254 and longitude of -31.6690265, lasting 73 minutes and covering a distance of 620 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to climb and cruise at various altitudes and locations, including 86 miles west of BVR Esperadinha Airport, Brava Island, Cape Verde, and 7 miles south-west of Alajero, Canary Islands, Spain. The final level cruise phase started 1 mile north-west of Agulo, Canary Islands, Spain, and lasted 150 minutes, covering a distance of 1,398 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, starting 1 mile east of Belligne, Pays de la Loire, France. The aircraft descended from 38,000 feet above sea level to 4,999 feet, a decrease of 33,001 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 167 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 8 minutes and covering a distance of 36 nautical miles, over Aubervilliers, Ile-de-France, France.
The final descent phase started over Marcilly, Ile-de-France, France, where the aircraft descended from 4,671 feet above sea level to 1,692 feet, a decrease of 2,979 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 27R at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport, approaching from the east at a heading of 266.0° and 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft landed on runway 27R, which had a length of 2,692 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 139 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 257 meters, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 139 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -349 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered
The Airbus A350-1000 successfully landed at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport on runway 27R, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 266.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,336 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach was precise, setting the stage for a smooth landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable approach. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 138 kt, which is a minor deviation. The touchdown distance of 257 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent.
The touchdown speed of 139 kt was a little fast, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -349 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft's direction during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 8°C and a gentle wind of 3 kt at 190°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 kt, while the headwind component was 1 kt. These conditions contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,206 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft's direction during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The minor deviations in threshold speed and touchdown speed did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
