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 1,572 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,572 m of the 2,587 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 577 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LFSB EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg. This process took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 15, with a takeoff distance of 1,856 meters, which was 67% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 230 degrees. The crosswind was 10 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. After takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead Hesingue in Grand Est, France. The climb took 18 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,927 feet above sea level to 36,856 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,929 feet. The distance covered during this climb was 95 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles southwest of Longchaumois in Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France. This cruise lasted for 49 minutes and covered a distance of 346 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 57 miles north of Ferreries in Comunitat Autonoma de les Illes Balears, Spain. The descent took 22 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 37,277 feet above sea level to 4,968 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,309 feet. The distance covered during this descent was 72 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting overhead Arta in Comunitat Autonoma de les Illes Balears, Spain. This cruise lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles north of Maria de la Salut in Comunitat Autonoma de les Illes Balears, Spain. The descent took 3 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 4,488 feet above sea level to 1,289 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,198 feet. The distance covered during this descent was 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24L at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 239.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,260 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which was 2,587 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 136 knots. The touchdown point was 159 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 124 knots and a touchdown rate of -163 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 210 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,489 meters, which was 58% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 547 nautical miles, taking 111 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,882 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport, achieving a high score of 96.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 239.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, setting the stage for a smooth touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 24L, which has a length of 2,587 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 136 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during the final approach.
The touchdown point was 159 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -163 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the acceptable range. This suggests that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown smoothly, minimizing the risk of damage or injury.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilots, but they were able to manage the aircraft's trajectory and speed effectively.
The total landing distance of 1,489 meters was 58% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to decelerate quickly and smoothly after touchdown, with the runway rollout alignment being perfect. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, demonstrating the capabilities of the Airbus A320 and the expertise of the pilots involved.
