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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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 1,802 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,802 m of the 2,693 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 705 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LOWW Vienna International Airport, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 34, with a takeoff distance of 1,255 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Vienna, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 9,133 meters above sea level (asl) from an initial altitude of 479 meters asl. This climb took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 64 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, lasting 9 minutes and covering 61 nautical miles.
The first descent of the flight began over Suben, Austria, where the aircraft descended from 9,136 meters asl to 8,839 meters asl, a decrease of 296.8 meters in 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb over Haarbach, Germany, reaching an altitude of 9,139 meters asl from 8,833 meters asl in 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to alternate between climbs and descents, with several level cruise phases in between. One of these descents began over Ergoldsbach, Germany, where the aircraft descended from 9,140 meters asl to 3,348 meters asl, a decrease of 5,792.3 meters in 12 minutes and covering 74 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at EDDN Nuremberg Airport began from the east, with the aircraft heading 279.0 degrees at an altitude of 377.5 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 285 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 125 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -1.8 meters per second.
The total landing distance was 1,718 meters, which is 64% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in 7 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 308 nautical miles, and the flight used 2,492 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Nuremberg Airport (EDDN) with a score of 91.7%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 279.0° at an altitude of 377.5 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on runway 28, which has a length of 2,693 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 128 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 125 knots was still within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was 285 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within the acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate of -1.8 meters per second was firm, indicating a controlled and stable touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision in navigating the aircraft to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C.
The total landing distance of 1,718 meters was 64% of the runway length, which is a relatively efficient use of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the score of 91.7% reflects the high level of skill and expertise demonstrated by the pilot.
