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 16 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Add power sooner on final to hold 134 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just at the threshold.
What happened: The approach was slow at the stabilisation gate, and the aircraft carried that deficit all the way to the threshold, still 10 kt below VREF; arriving that slow usually leaves little energy to cushion the flare, as it did here with a touchdown rate of 528 fpm.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 134 kt at the threshold
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 9 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 134 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 10 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 134 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,641 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 474 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 22R at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport in eight minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 22R, the aircraft used 954 m of runway, representing 32 % of the available length, and lifted off at 146 kt; ambient temperature was 23 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 219°, providing a 6 kt headwind and no cross-wind component.
Climb commenced 2 mi south of Tarnby, Denmark, with the aircraft ascending from 968 ft asl to 38 000 ft asl, an increase of 37 032 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 113 nm.
The level cruise segment began 1 mi east of Sorup, Germany, and lasted 47 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 324 nm.
Descent was initiated 32 mi south-east of Orford, England, with a reduction from 37 607 ft asl to 1 374 ft asl, a loss of 36 234 ft over 24 minutes and a distance of 112 nm.
Final approach to runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport was conducted from the east, on a heading of 270.0° at 4 nm and 1 290 ft agl.
Landing on runway 27L, which is 3 641 m long, occurred with a threshold speed reported as slightly below target at 124 kt; the touchdown point was 58 m beyond the touchdown zone, touchdown speed was 125 kt, and the aircraft settled at a firm rate of minus 387 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was described as very good. Local weather at the time was 19 °C with a wind of 8 kt from 230°, providing a 6 kt headwind and a 5 kt cross-wind component. Total landing distance measured 1 302 m, equivalent to 36 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was noted as slightly misaligned by 14.8 m from the centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in four minutes, covering 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 558 nm, required 103 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 3 158 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 commenced its final approach to runway 27L at EGLL from the east, flying a heading of 270.0° at 4 nm and 1,290 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare segment the runway length of 3,641 m provided a good threshold height. Threshold speed was slightly below target at 124 kt. The aircraft executed the flare and prepared for touchdown under clear conditions with temperature 19 °C, wind 8 kt from 230°, including a 5 kt crosswind and a 6 kt headwind.
Touchdown occurred 58 m beyond the touchdown zone. Touchdown speed was 125 kt and the touchdown rate was firm at minus 387 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 1,302 m, representing 36 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.8 m from the centreline.
Refine the touchdown point to land closer to the intended aim point to reduce the overshoot beyond the touchdown zone, and maintain precise centreline tracking during rollout to eliminate the 14.8 m deviation.
