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 1,634 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,634 m of the 3,669 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 556 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 General Wayne A. Downing Peoria International Airport, taking 9 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 13, with a takeoff distance of 1,363 meters, which was 47% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 12°C temperature and winds of 16 knots at 79°. The crosswind was 12 knots, and the headwind was 11 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,653 feet above sea level to 38,026 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,374 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 112 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles north of Milton, Iowa, and lasted for 67 minutes, covering a distance of 460 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 4 miles south of Holyoke Airport in Colorado, and descended from 37,999 feet above sea level to 13,067 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,932 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 89 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 4 miles south-east of Westberg-Rosling Farms Airport in Colorado, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The descent phase started 1 mile south-west of Bijou Basin Airport in Colorado, and the aircraft descended from 12,882 feet above sea level to 5,767 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,115 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb phase, starting 3 miles south-west of Greggs Nr 1 Airport in Colorado, and climbed from 5,754 feet above sea level to 9,012 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,258 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The descent phase started 2 miles south of Reasoner Airport in Colorado, and the aircraft descended from 9,012 feet above sea level to 6,968 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,044 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles east of Derby in Colorado, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 35L at Denver International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 1.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,328 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 35L, which was 3,669 meters long. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 131 knots. The touchdown point was 134 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 120 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -259 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 11°C temperature and winds of 21 knots at 50°. The crosswind was 16 knots, and the headwind was 13 knots. The total landing distance was 1,547 meters, which was 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at KDEN Denver International Airport, achieving a score of 96.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 1.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,328 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 35L, which has a length of 3,669 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, 134 meters past the designated area. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating a potential for a longer landing roll. The touchdown rate of -259 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting a relatively smooth descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 21 knots from a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft maintained a good alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout, with a deviation of only 6.4 meters.
The total landing distance of 1,547 meters was 42% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the aircraft's performance could be improved by reducing the touchdown speed and increasing the threshold height to ensure a more precise touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and rollout phases.
