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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,574 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,574 m of the 3,948 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 506 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A350-900, then departed from runway 35 at SAEZ Minister Pistarini International Airport in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The takeoff distance was 1,180 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 36°C temperature and a wind speed of 15 knots at 320°. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 13 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 969 feet above sea level to 35,000 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,031 feet in 33 minutes, covering a distance of 247 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 5 miles southwest of Santa Clara de Olimar, Uruguay, and lasted for 33 minutes, covering 309 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb 4 miles southeast of Sao Francisco de Paula, Brazil, where it climbed from 34,990 feet to 36,975 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,985 feet in 3 minutes, covering 31 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 8 miles south of SSWT Cambará Airport in Cambará Do Sul, Brazil, and lasted for 306 minutes, covering 2,572 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb at a specific latitude and longitude, where it climbed from 37,001 feet to 39,001 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,000 feet in 3 minutes, covering 29 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued at a new latitude and longitude, lasting for 432 minutes, covering 4,072 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 5 miles west of Pasinler, Turkey, where the aircraft descended from 39,002 feet to 33,380 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,622 feet in 3 minutes, covering 23 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 6 miles west of Horasan, Turkey, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The enroute descent started again 5 miles west of Horasan, where the aircraft descended from 33,019 feet to 4,215 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,804 feet in 17 minutes, covering 103 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at UDYZ Zvartnots International Airport in Armenia began from the west, heading 90.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,385 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 09 was successful, with a touchdown point 94 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was a little fast, while the touchdown rate was firm at -303 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 4°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 230°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the tailwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,497 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 7,396 nautical miles, taking 839 minutes, and the aircraft used 81,250 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A350-900 successfully landed at Zvartnots International Airport (UDYZ) on runway 09. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,385 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a high degree of precision, as evidenced by the perfect runway touchdown alignment.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed, registering at 124 knots. However, this was still within a manageable range, and the touchdown rate was firm at -303 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown point was 94 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a gentle wind of 7 knots from a direction of 230°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the tailwind component was slightly stronger at 5 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,497 meters, which corresponds to approximately 38% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop in a relatively short period of time. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.
Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop safely and efficiently. The score of 95.5% reflects the high quality of the landing, with only minor deviations from the target parameters.
