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 1,964 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 498 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at SBUG Rubem Berta Airport. This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 09, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 844 meters, which was 56% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at an angle of 86 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead SBUG Rubem Berta Airport in Uruguaiana, Brazil. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,261 feet above sea level to 39,154 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,893 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 27 miles northeast of Quebracho in Uruguay. This phase lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 60 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 5 miles west of SUYN Young Airport in Uruguay. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 39,112 feet above sea level to 5,234 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,878 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 4 miles northwest of SABS Belén De Escobar Airport in Argentina. This phase lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 5 miles southeast of SABS Belén De Escobar Airport. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 5,150 feet above sea level to 1,293 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,858 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13 at SABE Jorge Newbery Airpark took place from the northwest, with the aircraft heading at 124.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,253 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 13, which had a length of 1,964 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was well above the target at 138 knots.
The touchdown point was 74 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 137 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -358 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 20 knots at an angle of 109 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 19 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,216 meters, which was 62% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then began its taxiing process, taking 4 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile to reach the parking area.
The total flight distance was 314 nautical miles, taking a total of 70 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,795 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at SABE Jorge Newbery Airpark, achieving a score of 89.2%. The final approach to runway 13 was initiated from the north-west, with a heading of 124.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,253 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 74 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center. The touchdown speed of 137 knots was faster than the target speed, indicating a slightly aggressive approach. The touchdown rate was firm, with a descent rate of -358 feet per minute (fpm), which is typical for a commercial airliner.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.4 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the touchdown point being beyond the designated zone. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 20 knots from 109°. The crosswind component was minimal at 5 knots, while the headwind component was 19 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 1,216 meters was 62% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, which may be addressed in future training exercises to improve the crew's performance.
