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 2,047 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,047 m of the 3,707 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 470 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321 departed from EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, where it taxied from the parking to the runway for 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. It then began its departure roll from runway 05 and lifted off at a speed of 154 knots. The aircraft was departing into a local weather condition with a temperature of 13°C, a wind speed of 14 knots, and a direction of 70°. This resulted in a 5-knot crosswind and a 13-knot headwind.
The enroute climb started shortly after takeoff, as the aircraft ascended from 1,087 feet above sea level to its cruising altitude of 34,951 feet. This climb, which lasted for 20 minutes and took place over 107 nautical miles, had a total altitude gain of 33,864 feet. Following the climb, the enroute level cruise started as the aircraft passed overhead of Kotzen in Brandenburg, Germany, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 113 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague, it began its enroute descent from 34,864 feet above sea level to 2,491 feet. This descent, which took place over a distance of 59 nautical miles and lasted 17 minutes, resulted in a decrease in altitude of 32,373 feet.
The final approach to runway 06 at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague began approximately 1 mile northwest of Neustadt in Sachsen, and was made from the southwest. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl) and had a speed of 65° at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 134 knots. The touchdown rate was somewhat aggressive, at -472 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown alignment and rollout alignment were both perfect.
According to the data, the total landing distance was 1,967 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway length. The taxiing from the runway to the parking took just 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
This flight had a total distance of 287 nautical miles and lasted 65 minutes, with the aircraft using approximately 3,190 kilograms of fuel throughout its journey.
On a recent landing at Václav Havel Airport Prague (LKPR), an Airbus A321 executed a final approach to runway 06, originating from the southwest. The aircraft maintained a heading of 65.0° while descending at 4 nautical miles away and 1,280 feet above ground level (agl). Upon completion of the approach, the aircraft landed on runway 06, which has a length of 3,707 meters.
The final approach and landing were deemed satisfactory, with a touchdown speed of 134 knots. However, the speed was slightly above the threshold target, indicating a minor issue that might be addressed in future approach procedures. Furthermore, the descent's rate was quite steep at 472 feet per minute (fpm), implying a somewhat hard touchdown.
Other noteworthy aspects of the landing include the threshold height, which was above target at 65 feet agl, and the threshold speed, which was slightly above target at 138 knots. Despite these minor discrepancies, the aircraft managed to maintain perfect runway alignment upon touchdown, showcasing precise control.
On that day, the local weather conditions were characterized by a moderate temperature of 9°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots at 50°. As a result, the crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was significant at 5 knots, aiding the aircraft's descent and landing.
Following the touchdown, the aircraft covered a total distance of 1,967 meters, accounting for approximately 53% of the runway's length. The runway rollout was executed without any issues, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment during the entire process.
