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 1,921 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,921 m of the 3,707 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 763 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,024 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 168 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,020 feet above sea level to 34,463 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,443 feet in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 112 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 59 miles east of Begur, Spain, and lasted for 73 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 588 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 1 mile northeast of Horice na Sumave, Czech Republic, where the aircraft descended from 33,881 feet above sea level to 4,010 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,871 feet in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 82 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northeast of Cerny Most, Czech Republic, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final descent phase began overhead Boranovice, Czech Republic, where the aircraft descended from 3,876 feet above sea level to 2,448 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,427 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 24 at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague, approaching from the northeast at a heading of 245.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,247 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 347 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -114 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 190 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,839 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 803 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 139 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6,437 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague, achieving a high score of 94.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 245.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,247 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 24, which has a length of 3,707 meters. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 144 knots, indicating that the pilot had properly managed the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown point was 347 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance, suggesting that the pilot had good control over the aircraft's descent.
The touchdown speed of 133 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -114 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, which is essential for a safe landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 190°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot, and the aircraft landed safely.
The total landing distance of 1,839 meters was 50% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had good control over the aircraft's descent and touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's rollout and braking.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control over the aircraft. The high score of 94.1% reflects the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent, touchdown, and rollout in a safe and efficient manner.
