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.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 152 m above the runway. The 305 m gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
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 482 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an ATR 72, then departed from runway 09 at EGJB Guernsey Airport. The takeoff distance was 697 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 120 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 20 knots at a direction of 70 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 19 knots. The aircraft climbed from 399 meters above sea level to 1,270 meters above sea level, an increase of 871.1 meters, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute climb continued, with the aircraft reaching a cruising altitude of 4,753 meters above sea level, an increase of 3,555.7 meters, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 46 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 42 minutes and covering a distance of 194 nautical miles, before beginning its descent towards EIDW Dublin Airport.
The descent from 4,878 meters above sea level to 2,157 meters above sea level took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 27 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 3 minutes and covering a distance of 12 nautical miles, before beginning its final descent towards the airport. The descent from 2,153 meters above sea level to 1,010 meters above sea level took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 29 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile, before beginning its final descent towards the airport. The descent from 974 meters above sea level to 470 meters above sea level took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10L at EIDW Dublin Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 98.0 degrees at an altitude of 405.4 meters above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 10L, 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 115 knots.
The touchdown point was 47 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 99 knots and a touchdown rate of -1.4 meters per second. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 19 knots at a direction of 80 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 18 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,243 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 322 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 93 minutes and a fuel consumption of 920 kilograms.
The ATR 72 aircraft successfully landed on runway 10L at Dublin Airport (EIDW) with a score of 90.9%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 98.0° at an altitude of 405.4 meters above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, with the threshold height being above the target at 19.7 meters agl.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target at 115 knots, but the touchdown speed of 99 knots was considered good. However, the touchdown rate of -1.4 meters per second was only fair. The touchdown point was 47 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot.
The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 5 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 19 knots from 80°. The crosswind component was relatively low, but the headwind component of 18 knots was significant.
The total landing distance of 1,243 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
