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 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,447 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 666 m past the threshold — beyond 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 Naples International Airport, LIRN. This process took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 24, with the aircraft taking off after covering 56% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,150 meters, and the liftoff speed was 147 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 13 knots at 229 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Vicaria in Campania, Italy. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,179 feet above sea level to 35,399 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,220 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 106 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Salisano in Lazio, Italy. This phase lasted for 18 minutes and covered a distance of 129 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles north of Montale in Toscana, Italy. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,145 feet above sea level to 1,639 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,506 feet in 30 minutes, covering a distance of 119 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18 at Milano Linate Airport, LIML, was made from the north, with the aircraft heading at 176.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 18, which had a length of 2,447 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 129 knots. The touchdown point was 248 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 120 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -466 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.6 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 8°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 30 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,379 meters, which was 56% of the runway's length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 9 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 362 nautical miles, taking 83 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,854 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at LIML Milano Linate Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 176.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 18, which has a length of 2,447 meters.
The threshold height at 59 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation in the aircraft's descent. However, the threshold speed of 129 knots was within the acceptable range, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown point was 248 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a notable deviation from the ideal landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 120 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. However, the touchdown rate of -466 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly rough landing. This could be due to various factors, including the aircraft's weight, the wind conditions, or the pilot's control inputs.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.6 meters from the centerline, which is a significant deviation from the ideal alignment. This could be due to various factors, including the pilot's control inputs, the aircraft's response to the wind conditions, or the runway's surface characteristics.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 30°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions were generally favorable for landing, but may have contributed to the deviations observed during the landing phase.
The total landing distance of 1,379 meters was 56% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.9 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced some difficulties during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, but with some notable deviations from the ideal parameters. The pilots demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft's speed and altitude during the landing phase, but may have experienced some difficulties with the alignment and touchdown rate.
