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 1,758 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,758 m of the 3,082 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 541 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight on the Airbus A320 began at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, with a taxi time of 10 minutes covering 2 nm. The departure was from runway 24L, with a takeoff distance of 1,147 m, using 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 kn, with a local weather report indicating a temperature of 20 °C and winds at 13 kn from 229 °, resulting in a crosswind of 4 kn and a headwind of 13 kn.
The enroute climb started over LEBL, climbing from 1,024 ft to 20,253 ft, covering 46 nm in 13 minutes. The level cruise phase began 1 mile southeast of Olius, lasting 2 minutes and covering 15 nm. Another climb took place 6 miles south of Alas i Cerc, ascending from 20,736 ft to 33,775 ft, covering 52 nm in 7 minutes.
After a 29-minute level cruise phase starting 1 mile south of Carla-Bayle, the descent began over Cottenchy, descending from 32,972 ft to 1,927 ft, covering 118 nm in 18 minutes. Another short level cruise phase started 2 miles west of Bekkevoort for 5 minutes, covering 11 nm.
The final approach to runway 25L at EBBR Brussels Airport was from the east, with a heading of 250.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,280 ft agl. The landing on runway 25L had a threshold height of 65 ft agl, a speed at threshold of 113 kn, and a touchdown speed of 105 kn with a VSI of -286 ft/m. The local weather at the time showed a temperature of 9 °C and winds at 15 kn from 230 °, resulting in a crosswind of 5 kn and a headwind of 14 kn. The touchdown occurred 542 m from the threshold, with a total landing distance of 1,665 m, using 54% of the runway.
Finally, taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 7 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 652 nm, taking 94 minutes and consuming 3,511 kg of fuel.
