Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
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 2,033 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 in question was operated by an Airbus A321 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 27R at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL), with the aircraft taking off after covering 30% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,094 meters, and the liftoff speed was 159 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 21°C temperature and a wind speed of 33 knots at 250 degrees. The crosswind was 11 knots, while the headwind was 31 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Colnbrook, a town in Slough, England, where the aircraft climbed from 1,107 feet above sea level to 5,910 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,803 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then began overhead Gerrards Cross in Buckinghamshire, England, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another climb, this time from 6,294 feet above sea level to 36,990 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,696 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 152 nautical miles. This climb took place overhead Newgate Street in Hertfordshire, England.
The enroute level cruise then resumed 26 miles west of Zandvoort in the Netherlands, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 63 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it started its descent from 37,260 feet above sea level to 3,274 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,985 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 128 nautical miles. This descent took place 3 miles south of Oudemirdum in the Netherlands.
The aircraft then started another level cruise, this time from 3,274 feet above sea level to 2,845 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles in just 3 minutes. The final descent took place from 2,845 feet above sea level to 1,358 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,488 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. This descent took place 1 mile east of Oyten in Germany.
The final approach to runway 27 at Bremen Airport (EDDW) was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 267.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,332 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 27, which was 2,033 meters long. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 136 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 269 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -425 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 28 knots at 230 degrees. The crosswind was 17 knots, while the headwind was 22 knots. The total landing distance was 1,419 meters, which was 70% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 387 nautical miles, and the flight took 69 minutes. The aircraft used
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDW Bremen Airport, achieving a score of 97.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 267.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,332 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 27, which has a length of 2,033 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down with a speed of 132 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 269 meters. However, the touchdown rate was hard, at -425 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a relatively steep descent. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned, deviating from the centerline by 3.8 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 28 knots from 230°. This resulted in a crosswind of 17 knots and a headwind of 22 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft maintained a stable approach and landing.
The total landing distance was 1,419 meters, which accounted for approximately 70% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the target parameters. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in their ability to navigate the challenging weather conditions and maintain a stable approach and landing.
