Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 288 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,614 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,614 m of the 2,600 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 593 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 05R, it was ready to take off into the local weather conditions, which featured a temperature of 26 °C and a wind of 32 kt at 39 °. The crosswind component was minimal at 5 kt, while the headwind component was significant at 31 kt.
As the aircraft departed, it accelerated down the runway, reaching liftoff speed of 150 kt at a distance of 1,087 m, which was 33% of the runway length. The enroute climb phase began shortly after, as the aircraft ascended from 1,010 ft to 3,225 ft over a distance of 7 nautical miles in just 2 minutes. The climb was followed by a brief level cruise phase, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 3,225 ft for 2 minutes while covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, reducing its altitude from 2,714 ft to 1,289 ft over a distance of 5 nautical miles in 2 minutes.
The final approach phase began as the aircraft descended towards runway 10 at Taipei Songshan Airport, with a heading of 92.0 ° and an altitude of 1,264 ft above ground level. The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down 173 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 123 kt. The touchdown rate was good at -192 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,530 m, which was 59% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 22 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 633 kg of fuel during the flight, which lasted a total of 19 minutes.
The final approach to runway 10 at RCSS Taipei Songshan Airport from the west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 92.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,264 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a slight deviation in threshold speed, reaching 134 knots, which was marginally above the target.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was located 173 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 123 knots and a touchdown rate of -192 feet per minute, both of which were within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 110°, contributed to a relatively smooth landing, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,530 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of skill and precision, resulting in a score of 98.0%.
