Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 168 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 30 kt fast at 198 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 168 kt in the climb
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 58 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 58 ft, 13 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 224 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

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 2,708 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 506 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 21 at OLBA Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport, a movement that lasted 8 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 21, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 174 kt, using a takeoff distance of 1,046 m 38 % of runway; local weather reported a temperature of 25 °C, wind 2 kt at 221 °, with a crosswind of 0 kt and a headwind of 1 kt.
Climb commenced 1 mile south of OLBA, with the airplane ascending from 952 ft asl to 33,947 ft asl, an increase of 32,996 ft achieved in 24 minutes while covering 162 nm.
Level cruise began 24 miles north-west of Rizokarpaso (Famagusta District, Cyprus) and continued for 201 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 1,495 nm.
Descent was initiated 1 mile east of Beire-le-Chatel (Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France), descending from 33,993 ft asl to 1,695 ft asl, a decrease of 32,298 ft in 29 minutes and covering 154 nm.
The final approach to runway 27R at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport involved a descent from 1,389 ft agl to 73 ft agl in 98 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 27R was executed with a runway length of 2,708 m; the threshold height and threshold speed of 148 kt were reported as good. Touchdown occurred 93 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 139 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 224 fpm and a lateral deviation of 3.1 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was temperature 22 °C, wind 4 kt at 275 °, crosswind 1 kt and headwind 4 kt.
The total landing distance recorded was 1,294 m, 48 % of runway, and runway rollout alignment was described as very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a taxi-in that lasted 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a distance of 1,820 nm, took 271 minutes, and consumed 12,054 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A321ceo completed a stabilised approach to runway 27R at LFPG, with the stabilisation gates confirming gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits at the 1,000 ft gate. The aircraft descended from 1,389 ft agl to 73 ft agl in 98 seconds, meeting the required parameters for a successful final approach.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 148 kt. The flare was executed in line with the approach profile, preparing for touchdown.
Touchdown occurred 93 m beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 139 kt, rated as good. The vertical speed at touchdown was fair at minus 224 fpm and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.1 m from the centreline. Local weather was 22 °C with wind 4 kt from 275°, including a 1 kt crosswind and a 4 kt headwind.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,294 m, representing 48 % of the 2,708 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
Refine lateral alignment to reduce the 3.1 m centreline offset and aim for a slightly lower sink rate to improve the touchdown smoothness, which will further enhance an already strong 97.9 % score.
