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 1,556 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,556 m of the 2,387 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 184 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Düsseldorf Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 05R, with a takeoff distance of 1,464 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 7°C temperature and winds of 8 knots at 170 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the tailwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of Ratingen, Germany, and the aircraft ascended from 1,192 feet above sea level to 36,276 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,084 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 129 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles east of Heimbuchenthal, Germany. This phase lasted for 54 minutes and covered a distance of 390 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 35,899 feet above sea level to 4,937 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,962 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 84 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 7 miles southwest of Rogoznica, Croatia, and lasting for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The descent phase began 11 miles south of Rogoznica, and the aircraft descended from 4,944 feet above sea level to 1,347 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,597 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at Split Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 52.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,274 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 05, which had a length of 2,387 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 136 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 184 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -360 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 14°C temperature and winds of 14 knots at 110 degrees, with a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,473 meters, accounting for 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 631 nautical miles, taking 114 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,433 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at LDSP Split Airport, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 52.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 05, which has a length of 2,387 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 135 kt, coming in at 136 kt. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The touchdown distance was good, measuring 184 meters, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 kt, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -360 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were moderate, with a temperature of 14°C and winds blowing at 14 kt from a direction of 110°. The crosswind component was 12 kt, while the headwind component was 8 kt. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, and the aircraft was able to maintain control throughout the approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance was 1,473 meters, which is 62% of the runway length. This is a reasonable distance, considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway after touchdown.
Overall, the Airbus A319 landed safely and efficiently at LDSP Split Airport, with a high score of 98.4%. The minor deviations from the target speed and touchdown speed did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing, and the aircraft was able to maintain control throughout the approach and touchdown.
