Flight Score
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 8.7 ft, 2.5 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 4,787 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 4,787 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 866 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A319 taxied from the parking area to runway 36R at KCLT Charlotte Douglas International Airport in 8 minutes, covering 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 36R, the aircraft used 5,335 ft of runway, representing 60 % of the available length, and lifted off at 151 kt; ambient temperature was 78 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 30 °, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile north east of KCLT, with the flight ascending from 1,771 ft asl to 38,009 ft asl, a gain of 36,238 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 118 nm.
Cruise began about 5 miles south west of Williston, South Carolina, and was maintained for 63 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 473 nm at level flight.
Descent was initiated roughly 9 miles east of 16FA Little Deer Airport, Ochopee, Florida, with the aircraft descending from 37,365 ft asl to 1,270 ft asl, a loss of 36,096 ft in 30 minutes and covering 156 nm.
The final approach to runway 09 at KEYW Key West International Airport involved a descent from 1,316 ft agl to 52 ft agl over 96 seconds, and the aircraft met the stabilisation gates criteria.
Landing on runway 09 at KEYW was executed on a runway 4,787 ft long; the threshold speed was 135 kt, touchdown occurred 866 ft down the runway at 132 kt with a vertical speed of minus 289 fpm, and alignment was recorded as perfect. Local weather reported a temperature of 89 °F, wind 0 kt from 3 °, with no cross-wind or head-wind components.
The runway rollout covered a total landing distance of 3,377 ft, representing 71 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 755 nm, required 123 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 9,269 lb of fuel.
