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 1,551 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,551 m of the 3,373 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 571 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Munich Airport, taking 14 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 08R, with a takeoff distance of 1,590 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 159 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Munich Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 2°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 90°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 8 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Munich Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 2,559 feet above sea level to 34,481 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,923 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 121 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Ora, Italy, and lasted for 30 minutes, covering a distance of 227 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent from 35,036 feet above sea level to 5,006 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,030 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 101 nautical miles. The descent started 1 mile southeast of the Monaco Heliport Fontvieille, France.
The aircraft then leveled off overhead Salon-de-Provence, France, for a brief period of 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute descent began again, this time from 4,670 feet above sea level to 1,401 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,269 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The descent started 2 miles northwest of Miramas, France.
The final approach to runway 13L at Marseille Provence Airport was made from the northwest, heading 134.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,385 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 3,373 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 146 knots.
The touchdown point was 151 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -271 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 19 knots at 90°, with a crosswind component of 13 knots and a headwind component of 14 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,466 meters, which is 43% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 477 nautical miles, taking 94 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,477 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at LFML Marseille Provence Airport, achieving a score of 95.1%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 134.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,385 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 13L, which has a length of 3,373 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 146 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for the landing.
The touchdown point was 151 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center. The touchdown speed of 137 knots was a bit faster than desired, and the touchdown rate of -271 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 19 knots at 90°. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 14 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and landing.
The total landing distance was 1,466 meters, which is 43% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop quickly. The runway rollout alignment was very good, showing that the aircraft was able to maintain its direction and speed after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases.
