Arrival
Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 8.7 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.
What happened: The flare pitch reached 1.7°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 421 fpm. Over-rotating the flare like this usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal landing attitude once sink is arrested at 8.7 ft.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 352 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (LGKR), the Airbus A321 began its journey with a taxiing phase that lasted six minutes and covered a distance of two nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway, it initiated its departure roll on runway 34, utilizing 1,223 meters, or 64% of the available runway length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 161 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began ascending from 998 feet above sea level to 37,720 feet, a vertical increase of 36,722 feet, over a distance of 145 nautical miles, within a timeframe of 22 minutes. The climb phase concluded as the aircraft reached a cruising altitude, and it continued on to its destination, cruising at a level altitude for 50 minutes, covering a distance of 366 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated its descent phase, reducing its altitude from 38,006 feet to 14,244 feet, a decrease of 23,763 feet, over a distance of 80 nautical miles, within a timeframe of 13 minutes. Following a brief level cruise phase near Kirchanschoring, the aircraft resumed its descent, eventually landing on runway 26L at Munich Airport (EDDM).
The final approach to runway 26L was executed from the east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 263.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,392 feet above ground level, four nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 126 knots and a touchdown distance of 358 meters, utilizing 34% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots from 251 degrees. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding its journey with a total flight distance of 644 nautical miles, a flight time of 111 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 4,837 kilograms.
The aircraft, an Airbus A321, successfully executed a final approach to runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport from the east, aligning with the heading of 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,392 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 130 knots, which was within the acceptable range. As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it achieved a touchdown distance of 358 meters, which was within the expected parameters, and a touchdown speed of 126 knots, indicating a controlled descent.
The touchdown characteristics were notable, with a hard touchdown rate of -423 feet per minute, which may have been due to the aircraft's high rate of descent. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 251°, contributed to a relatively calm landing environment, with a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind component of 4 knots. This allowed the aircraft to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,369 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 96.2%, reflecting the aircraft's ability to execute a controlled and stable approach and touchdown.
