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 1,731 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,731 m of the 2,693 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 270 m touchdown sits inside 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 17 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 22R at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,703 meters, which is 57% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 178 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 9°C temperature and a wind speed of 18 knots at 189 degrees. The crosswind was 9 knots, while the headwind was 16 knots. The enroute climb started 2 miles south of Tarnby, Denmark, and reached an altitude of 29,334 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,291 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 90 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile west of Gransebieth, Germany, and lasted for 23 minutes, covering a distance of 159 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 2 miles southeast of Halle, Germany, and descended from 29,435 feet to 20,800 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,635 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 44 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to alternate between level cruise and descent phases, with each phase lasting for a few minutes and covering a short distance. The final descent started 1 mile northwest of Gutenstetten, Germany, and descended from 5,877 feet to 4,894 feet above sea level, a decrease of 982 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered the final approach phase, heading towards runway 10 at EDDN Nuremberg Airport from the west. The local weather conditions were 7°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 110 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 6 knots. The aircraft landed on runway 10, with a touchdown distance of 271 meters, which is good. The touchdown speed was 130 knots, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -580 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 1,650 meters, which is 61% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 409 nautical miles, taking 88 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,314 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Nuremberg Airport (EDDN) with a score of 96.2%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 98.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a precise course for runway 10, which has a length of 2,693 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height and speed, with a threshold speed of 132 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 271 meters. The touchdown speed of 130 knots was satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, at -580 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 110°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was precisely aligned with the runway centerline.
The total landing distance of 1,650 meters was 61% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
