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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,075 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 717 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Venice Marco Polo Airport, LIPZ. This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 22R, and the takeoff distance was 1,270 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 155 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 27°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 139 degrees. The crosswind was 10 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead Tessera, Veneto, Italy, and the aircraft ascended from 1,028 feet above sea level to 35,024 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,996 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile south of Innsbruck, Tirol, Austria, and lasted for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 239 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent overhead Niederahr, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, and descended from 35,086 feet above sea level to 2,004 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,082 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 117 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile south-east of Aarschot, Flanders, Belgium, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25R at Brussels Airport, EBBR, was made from the north-east, heading 246.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,227 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 25R, which had a length of 3,075 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 131 knots. The touchdown point was 292 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 119 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -567 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were 21°C temperature and a wind speed of 14 knots at 260 degrees.
The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 13 knots. The total landing distance was 1,262 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 484 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 72 minutes. The aircraft used 3,681 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed on runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport, achieving a score of 91.4%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 246.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,227 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and speed of 131 knots. The touchdown point was 292 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 119 knots was also within the recommended range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, at -567 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach or a need for further refinement in the aircraft's descent profile. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a moderate headwind of 13 knots. The crosswind component was minimal, at 4 knots, which reduced the risk of crosswind-related issues during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,262 meters was 41% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot executed a well-controlled and efficient landing, with a smooth rollout and perfect alignment on the runway.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a safe and controlled manner. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate and touchdown point, the pilot's overall performance was satisfactory, and the aircraft's systems performed as expected.
