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 2,789 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 700 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 EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport. This process took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 25, with the aircraft taking off after covering 43% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 831 meters, and the liftoff speed was 135 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 20 knots at 240 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 19 knots. The enroute climb began overhead EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,063 feet above sea level to 27,052 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 48 nautical miles, took 10 minutes and resulted in an increase of 25,989 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 13 miles east of Fehmarn, Germany. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 3 miles west of Gedser, Denmark, and lasted for 20 minutes. During this time, the aircraft descended from 26,984 feet above sea level to 1,494 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 82 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17 at ESMS Malmö Sturup Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading at 173.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 2,789 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was above the target speed at 130 knots.
The touchdown point was 276 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 115 knots, which was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate was fair at -261 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 9°C temperature and a wind speed of 16 knots at 230 degrees, with a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,393 meters, which was 50% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 148 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 44 minutes. The aircraft used 1,659 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at ESMS Malmö Sturup Airport, achieving a score of 94.1%. The final approach to runway 17 was initiated from the north, with a heading of 173.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was well above the target at 130 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 276 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal point. However, the touchdown speed of 115 knots was a little fast, indicating that the aircraft could have been slowed down slightly before touching down. The touchdown rate of -261 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 230°. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 9 knots, which the aircraft successfully managed during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,393 meters was 50% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the wind conditions. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory despite a few minor issues with touchdown speed and distance.
