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 1,594 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,594 m of the 3,075 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 908 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A321 began with a 7-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport. The departure roll took place on runway 35R, with a takeoff distance of 1,418 meters, covering 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 166 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 19°C with a 2 knot wind coming at 258°, resulting in a 2 knot crosswind and 0 knot headwind.
Once enroute, the climb started 1 mile southwest of Casorate Sempione in Lombardia, Italy. The aircraft climbed from 1,759 feet above sea level to 32,087 feet above sea level, covering 97 nautical miles in 18 minutes. The enroute level cruise commenced 2 miles northwest of Meillerie in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France and lasted 25 minutes, covering 179 nm.
The descent phase of the flight started overhead Entrange in Grand Est, France. The descent took the aircraft from 32,408 feet above sea level to 1,943 feet above sea level, covering 106 nm in 22 minutes. Following this, another enroute level cruise began overhead Aarschot in Flanders, Belgium, lasting 4 minutes and covering 8 nm.
The landing at EBBR Brussels Airport was on runway 25R, with a runway length of 3,075 meters. The height at threshold was 48 feet above ground level, with a speed at threshold of 142 knots. The touchdown occurred 910 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -74 ft/m. The local weather at the time of landing was 14°C, with a 7 knot wind coming at 229°, resulting in a 2 knot crosswind and 7 knot headwind. The total landing distance was 1,517 meters, covering 49% of the runway.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance traveled was 400 nm, with a total flight time of 89 minutes. The flight consumed 3,922 kg of fuel.
