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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,110 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 491 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A330-900 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 06L, with a takeoff distance of 1,824 meters, which was 64% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 167 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots at 350°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile west of Pelmo Park-Humberlea, Ontario, Canada. The climb took 28 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,315 feet above sea level to 33,709 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,394 feet. The aircraft covered a distance of 205 nautical miles during this climb.
After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 14 miles west of the Blue Sea Lake Seaplane Base in Maniwaki, Quebec, Canada. This cruise phase lasted for 284 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 2,448 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 44 miles west of the Belmullet Aerodrome in Belmullet, Connaught, Ireland. The descent took 7 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 33,613 feet above sea level to 16,515 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,098 feet. The aircraft covered a distance of 44 nautical miles during this descent.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 5 miles north of Belmullet, Connaught, Ireland. This cruise phase lasted for 13 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 62 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent, which started 1 mile northeast of Boyle, Connaught, Ireland. The descent took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 16,533 feet above sea level to 14,545 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,988 feet. The aircraft covered a distance of 9 nautical miles during this descent.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 2 miles east of Carrick-on-Shannon, Connaught, Ireland. This cruise phase lasted for 3 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent, which started 2 miles north of Granard, Leinster, Ireland. The descent took 17 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 14,289 feet above sea level to 1,409 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,880 feet. The aircraft covered a distance of 46 nautical miles during this descent.
The final approach to runway 10L at Dublin Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 95.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,185 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 3,110 meters. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 162 knots.
The touchdown point was 83 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 159 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -730 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 5°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 100°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,
The Airbus A330-900 successfully landed on runway 10L at Dublin Airport (EIDW) with a score of 89.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 95.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,185 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was conducted with a slight deviation in terms of threshold height, which was above the target at 69 feet agl, and threshold speed, which was slightly above the target at 162 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 83 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 159 knots, which was faster than the target speed. The touchdown rate was also very heavy, at -730 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a rapid descent upon touchdown. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which likely contributed to the aircraft's high touchdown speed. The total landing distance was 1,124 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained proper alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, with some deviations in terms of threshold height and speed, as well as a high touchdown speed and rate, the aircraft's touchdown alignment and rollout alignment were both perfect. The landing distance was also within acceptable limits, and the weather conditions were not particularly challenging.
