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 2,692 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 478 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A350-1000, then departed from runway 10 at Princess Juliana International Airport (TNCM) in Saint Martin. The takeoff distance was 1,148 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 70 degrees. There was no crosswind, but a headwind of 2 knots was present. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took 33 minutes and covered a distance of 253 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 766 feet above sea level to 36,937 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 246 minutes and covered a distance of 2,447 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place at a latitude of 21.153352 and a longitude of -60.5709357. After a period of level flight, the aircraft began another climb phase, this time from 37,003 feet to 38,998 feet, an increase of 1,995 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering 33 nautical miles. The climb phase started at a latitude of 43.9866461 and a longitude of -20.2385799.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 89 minutes and covered a distance of 814 nautical miles. This phase took place at a latitude of 44.1218755 and a longitude of -19.4531833. After the second cruise phase, the aircraft began its descent, which started overhead Le Louroux Beconnais in France. The descent took 29 minutes and covered a distance of 168 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 38,991 feet to 1,679 feet.
The final approach to runway 09L at Charles de Gaulle International Airport (LFPG) was made from the west, with a heading of 85.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,323 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 2,692 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 138 knots.
The touchdown point was 59 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -360 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 130 degrees. There was a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,376 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,723 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 409 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 43,873 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A350-1000 successfully landed at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 85.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,323 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on runway 09L, which has a length of 2,692 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 138 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate.
The touchdown point was 59 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate of -360 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating that the aircraft touched down with a significant amount of energy. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was also 3 knots. These conditions were relatively calm, which may have contributed to the successful landing.
The total landing distance of 1,376 meters was 51% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 97.2%.
