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 241 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 2,284 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 285 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Stuttgart Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. With the runway 07 cleared, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 55% of the 1,673-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 163 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 14°C, with a gentle tailwind of 4 knots from a direction of 248°.
As the aircraft climbed away from Stuttgart, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile northwest of Neuhausen auf den Fildern, Germany. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from an initial altitude of 2,162 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 36,009 feet, a vertical increase of 33,847 feet over a distance of 155 nautical miles, achieved within a timeframe of 24 minutes. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 489 minutes and covered a distance of 327 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying 1 mile east of Plein, Germany. The enroute descent phase commenced 1 mile west of Cogenhoe, England, where the aircraft descended from 35,733 feet to 1,328 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,406 feet over a distance of 106 nautical miles, achieved within an 18-minute period.
Upon approaching Liverpool John Lennon Airport, the Airbus A320 initiated its final approach to runway 27, aligning itself with the runway from the east at a heading of 266.0°, 4 nautical miles from the threshold and 1,247 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the 2,224-meter runway, with a touchdown distance of 287 meters, slightly above the target threshold speed of 144 knots. The touchdown speed of 140 knots was a little fast, while the touchdown rate of -279 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 595 nautical miles, achieved within a total flight time of 97 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 4,288 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 touched down on runway 27 at EGGP Liverpool John Lennon Airport, a 2,224-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the east at 266.0°. The aircraft was at 4 nautical miles from the threshold and 1,247 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height, although the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down at a speed of 140 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown distance was good at 287 meters, and the touchdown rate was fair at -279 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating precise control during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 13°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots at 249°.
The Airbus A320 rolled out on the runway with perfect alignment, covering a total distance of 1,044 meters, which was 47% of the runway length. The landing was scored 99.4%, reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the crew. Overall, the landing was a creditable performance, with the crew successfully navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown and rollout.
