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 five 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 2,495 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 602 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LOWS Salzburg Airport, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 15, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 154 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 159°, resulting in a headwind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Salzburg, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile southwest of the airport. The climb took place from an initial altitude of 2,407 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 35,669 feet, an increase of 33,262 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase began 2 miles north of Isny, Germany, and lasted for 63 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 419 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started overhead Bexhill-on-Sea, England. The descent took place from an altitude of 35,333 feet to 2,020 feet, a decrease of 33,313 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a brief level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes, as it flew 1 mile southeast of Dormansland, England, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport took place from the east, with the aircraft heading 258.0° at an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 2,495 meters, with the threshold height being good and the threshold speed slightly above the target at 140 knots. The touchdown point was 184 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -307 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 574 nautical miles, taking a total of 125 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,594 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, achieving a score of 96.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 258.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots, which may have been due to various factors such as wind conditions or pilot adjustments.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 184 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -307 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision in aligning the aircraft with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots at 240°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly above-target threshold speed.
The total landing distance of 1,383 meters was 55% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, with the pilot achieving a score of 96.0%. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, and the landing was completed safely and efficiently.
