Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 7.4 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 409 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 481 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,642 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,642 m of the 3,532 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 808 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 36L at LEMD for five minutes, covering less than 1 nm. Take-off was performed on runway 36L with a distance of 2,112 m (49 % of the runway). Rotation occurred at 145 kt. Local weather at departure was 21 °C, wind 11 kt from 346° (crosswind 3 kt, headwind 11 kt).
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 23 seconds, averaging 2,031 fpm and reaching 160 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 3,018 ft asl to 35,514 ft asl in 17 minutes, covering 115 nm, beginning the climb 2 nm north-west of Paracuellos de Jarama.
Cruise was maintained at 35,900 ft asl for 112 minutes, covering 920 nm, starting 3 nm east of Anguiano. Descent began from 35,566 ft asl and proceeded to 1,309 ft asl in 22 minutes, covering 120 nm, starting 5 nm south-east of Dahme, with a brief level-off at 2,400 ft asl.
Final approach to runway 04L at EKCH commenced from 1,336 ft agl and descended to 62 ft agl in 113 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. The landing gear was lowered at 1,959 ft agl at 175 kt; final flap 5 was selected at 1,821 ft agl at 166 kt.
Landing on runway 04L (runway length 3,532 m) had a good threshold height. Threshold speed was slightly above target at 143 kt. The flare was described as good; the aircraft dropped onto the runway at the end of the flare. Touchdown occurred 384 m beyond the touchdown zone at 133 kt, a little fast, with a hard touchdown rate of minus 482 fpm. Touchdown position was misaligned by 11.9 m from the centreline. No bounce was observed. Total landing distance was 1,554 m (44 % of the runway). Runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.5 m from the centreline.
Local weather at EKCH was 13 °C, wind 23 kt from 020° (crosswind 8 kt, headwind 22 kt). After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area for six minutes, covering 2 nm.
The flight covered a total distance of 1,164 nm in 164 minutes and used 6,851 kg of fuel.
