Improve the touchdown
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 36 kt FAST on the reference speed of 139 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,623 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,623 m of the 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 566 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Sarajevo International Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft reached the end of runway 29, it initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 881-meter stretch of the 2,300-meter runway, which accounted for 44% of its length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 155 knots, clearing the ground with a smooth motion.
As the aircraft climbed away from Sarajevo, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 2,627 feet above sea level to 33,900 feet, a vertical gain of 31,273 feet, over a distance of 107 nautical miles, in 18 minutes. The climb phase was followed by a 24-minute enroute level cruise, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude, covering a distance of 161 nautical miles. The descent phase commenced 2 miles southwest of Stadl an der Mur, Austria, and lasted 23 minutes, with the aircraft descending from 33,476 feet to 2,773 feet, a vertical loss of 30,703 feet, over a distance of 116 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Munich Airport, it began its final approach to runway 26L, aligning itself with the runway from the east, at a heading of 264.0 degrees, 4 nautical miles from the threshold. The aircraft touched down 157 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 131 knots, with a touchdown rate of -261 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, by 3.6 meters, from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,549 meters, accounting for 39% of the 3,987-meter runway. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 393 nautical miles, with a flight time of 1 hour and 18 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 3,426 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport from the east was conducted in a heading of 264.0° at 4 nm and 1,289 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with the threshold height at 59 ft agl being slightly above the target. The aircraft touched down 157 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 131 kt, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate of -261 fpm was fair, indicating a controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 m from the centreline. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and direction during the critical phase of flight. The threshold speed of 140 kt was slightly above the target, but the overall performance was still within acceptable limits.
The total landing distance of 1,549 m was 39% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure considering the local weather conditions. The temperature was 25 °C, and the wind was 5 kt at 340°, resulting in a 5 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind. Overall, the landing performance scored 95.9%, indicating a high level of proficiency and control.
