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.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,925 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 237 m touchdown sits inside 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 10R at KFLL Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,719 meters, which accounted for 71% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and winds of 9 knots at 59 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of Dania Beach, Florida. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 124 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 812 feet above sea level to 34,921 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,110 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 34 miles northwest of MYAW Walkers Cay Airport in the Bahamas. This phase lasted for 125 minutes and covered a distance of 984 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile north of Whitehall, New York. The descent took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 102 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 34,998 feet above sea level to 3,367 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,631 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles southwest of Sainte-Martine, Quebec, Canada. This phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile west of Beauharnois, Quebec. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 3,006 feet above sea level to 1,538 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,468 feet.
The final approach to runway 06R at CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 43.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,425 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 06R, which had a length of 2,925 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 130 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 233 meters, but the touchdown speed of 125 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was heavy at -651 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -3 degrees Celsius and winds of 13 knots at 240 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 13 knots. The total landing distance was 1,434 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 12.5 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,232 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 189 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6,524 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, achieving a score of 90.2%. The final approach to runway 06R was initiated from the southwest, heading 43.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,425 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 130 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 125 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a heavy touchdown rate of -651 feet per minute. This indicates that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or hard landing, which could have put additional stress on the landing gear and potentially affected the overall safety of the operation.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a combination of factors including wind, pilot error, or aircraft performance. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -3°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 13 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's stability and alignment during the approach and landing phases.
The total landing distance of 1,434 meters was 49% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 12.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position error.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, including the touchdown speed and rate, as well as the alignment of the aircraft during the approach and landing phases. These issues may be addressed through additional training or adjustments to the aircraft's performance characteristics.
