Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 468 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 236 fpm.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,709 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,709 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,132 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 24L at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport in Barcelona, Spain. The takeoff distance was 1,263 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots at 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,013 feet above sea level to 39,216 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,202 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 147 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Aussonne, France, and lasted for 97 minutes, covering a distance of 714 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 3 miles north of EDHP Pellworm Field in Pellworm, Germany. The descent from 38,693 feet above sea level to 1,284 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,408 feet in 27 minutes, covered a distance of 143 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04L at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport was made from the southwest, heading 41.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,264 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was initiated at 399 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 04L, with a runway length of 2,996 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 124 knots.
The touchdown point was 711 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 116 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -96 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,624 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,019 nautical miles, taking 166 minutes, and the aircraft used 6,085 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, achieving a score of 88.1%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 41.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 04L, which has a length of 2,996 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 124 knots, indicating a good approach. However, the touchdown point was located 711 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path. The touchdown speed of 116 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -96 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 320°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, as the aircraft maintained a stable approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,624 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled path after touchdown. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the intended path, but the aircraft's performance was generally good.
