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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 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 732 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking to the runway at Dublin Airport, taking 9 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 28R, with a takeoff distance of 1,536 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 160 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Dublin Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 13°C temperature and a wind speed of 21 knots at 220°. The crosswind was 17 knots, while the headwind was 12 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,254 feet above sea level to 2,263 feet, an increase of 1,009 feet in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile, before starting another climb 3 miles south of Oldtown. This climb took the aircraft from 2,651 feet to 8,386 feet, an increase of 5,736 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles, before starting a climb overhead Dunboyne.
This climb took the aircraft from 8,405 feet to 21,930 feet, an increase of 13,525 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles, before starting a climb 18 miles east of Courtown. This climb took the aircraft from 21,962 feet to 30,506 feet, an increase of 8,545 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 14 minutes and covering 260 nautical miles, before starting a descent 11 miles northwest of Dunkirk. This descent took the aircraft from 31,424 feet to 1,975 feet, a decrease of 29,449 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 104 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 8 minutes and covering 18 nautical miles, before starting the final approach to runway 25R at Brussels Airport.
The final approach was made from the northeast, heading 246.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,237 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 25R, which is 3,075 meters long. The touchdown point was 316 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 knots and a touchdown rate of -266 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 17 knots at 230°.
The total landing distance was 1,237 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking, taking 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 517 nautical miles, taking 75 minutes and using 3,871 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport, achieving a score of 91.6%. The aircraft made its final approach from the north east, heading 246.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,237 feet above ground level (agl).
The approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at a suitable height above the runway threshold before touchdown. The threshold speed was also good, reaching 140 knots, which is a typical speed for landing an Airbus A320. The touchdown point was 316 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly longer than the average distance but still within acceptable limits.
At the time of touchdown, the aircraft achieved a speed of 129 knots, which is slightly above the typical touchdown speed for an A320. The rate of descent was fair at -266 feet per minute (fpm), which is a relatively fast rate but still within the acceptable range. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft landed on the centerline of the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 14°C and a wind of 17 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The total landing distance was 1,237 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, considering the headwind component.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway, which is essential for safe and efficient taxiing. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft achieved a high score, indicating a good level of proficiency in landing procedures.
