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 1,694 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,694 m of the 2,317 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 562 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 EDDG Münster Osnabrück Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 25, with a takeoff distance of 962 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 148 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 3°C temperature and winds of 12 knots at 219 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 10 knots. The enroute climb started overhead EDDG Münster Osnabrück Airport Greven, with the aircraft ascending from 1,161 feet above sea level to 33,826 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,665 feet in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Delft in the Netherlands, lasting 21 minutes and covering 152 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent from 34,043 feet above sea level to 12,779 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,264 feet in 10 minutes and covering 60 nautical miles. The descent started overhead Kelvedon Hatch in England.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time starting 2 miles south of East Haddon in England and lasting 2 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 1 mile south of Dunchurch in England, with the aircraft descending from 12,223 feet above sea level to 2,829 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,394 feet in 9 minutes and covering 33 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting overhead Wolverhampton in England and lasting 5 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 15 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport was made from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 146.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,336 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 15 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport, with a runway length of 2,317 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 132 knots. The touchdown point was 143 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 127 knots and an excellent touchdown rate of -51 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 4°C temperature and winds of 18 knots at 210 degrees. The crosswind was 16 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,609 meters, which was 69% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The aircraft then taxiied to the parking area from the runway, taking 7 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 394 nautical miles, taking 79 minutes and using 3,751 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EGBB Birmingham International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 146.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,336 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 4°C, with a wind speed of 18 knots blowing from 210°. This resulted in a crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot maintained excellent control of the aircraft, ensuring a smooth and stable approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 143 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 127 knots. This was a good threshold speed, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown rate was also excellent, at -51 feet per minute (fpm), demonstrating the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained the aircraft's alignment with the runway during the final approach. This is crucial for a safe and controlled landing. The total landing distance was 1,609 meters, which is 69% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a smooth and stable deceleration. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, resulting in a high score of 97.6%.
