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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,718 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,718 m of the 3,082 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 886 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Bilbao Airport, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 12, with a takeoff distance of 1,166 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Derio, Spain, and reaching an altitude of 34,010 feet above sea level. The climb was a significant increase of 32,902 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 87 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 59 miles west of Arcachon, France. This cruise phase lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 363 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Fouencamps, France, and descending from 33,272 feet to 9,990 feet above sea level. This descent phase took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 64 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile west of Beloeil, Belgium, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile west of Ottenburg, Belgium, and descending from 9,719 feet to 1,448 feet above sea level. This descent phase took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25L at Brussels Airport was made from the east, heading 250.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,289 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 466 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 117 knots, and the touchdown rate was -184 feet per minute, both of which were considered good.
The total landing distance was 1,633 meters, which was 53% of the runway length. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 20.4 meters from the centerline. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 20.1 meters from the centerline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 6 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 566 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 59 minutes. The aircraft used 3,771 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at Brussels Airport (EBBR) on runway 25L, achieving a score of 82.3%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed of 126 knots being maintained, which is considered good.
The touchdown point was located 466 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 117 knots was also deemed satisfactory. The touchdown rate of -184 feet per minute (fpm) was within acceptable limits, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 20.4 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the subsequent rollout alignment issue.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, and a crosswind of 0 knots. The headwind component was 1 knot, which may have had a minor impact on the aircraft's approach and landing. The total landing distance of 1,633 meters was 53% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
Despite the good threshold speed and touchdown speed, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 20.1 meters from the centerline. This may have been a result of the initial touchdown position being off-centerline, which can make it challenging to maintain alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some issues with alignment that need to be addressed to improve the aircraft's performance.
