Arrival
Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 2.9 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.
What happened: The flare pitch reached 2.6°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 271 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 2.9 ft.
Fast at the threshold, normal flare, and the runway seems to refuse the aircraft. The instinctive fix - pushing it on - causes the next one. A fast aircraft forced onto the runway touches nosewheel-first or nearly so. The tell is a touchdown that feels soft followed by a bounce that steepens. Pilots fix the bounce recovery; the cause was the 10 knots at the threshold.

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 3,288 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 384 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 04R at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport, a movement that lasted 8 minutes and covered 2 nm.
The Airbus A320ceo commenced its take-off roll on runway 04R, traveling 1,965 m which represented 60 % of the runway length. Rotation was achieved at 150 kt. Local temperature at the time was 18 °C.
Climb began 1 mile north-east of LIPZ, with the aircraft ascending from 958 ft asl to 34,004 ft asl, an increase of 33,046 ft in 20 minutes while covering 122 nm.
Level cruise was initiated 2 miles south of Vals (Tirol, Austria) and persisted for 28 minutes, during which 204 nm were flown.
Descent started 1 mile north-east of Semnice (Karlovarsky kraj, Czech Republic), the aircraft descending from 34,030 ft asl to 17,009 ft asl, a loss of 17,021 ft in 11 minutes over 68 nm.
A short cruise segment began 1 mile east of Zabeltitz (Saxony, Germany), lasting 2 minutes and covering 9 nm.
Descent resumed 2 miles north of Plessa (Brandenburg, Germany), with altitude decreasing from 17,010 ft asl to 10,013 ft asl, a reduction of 6,997 ft in 5 minutes across 28 nm.
Another cruise phase started 3 miles north-west of Lubin (Brandenburg, Germany), lasting 2 minutes and encompassing 8 nm.
Descent continued 4 miles east of Maerkisch Buchholz (Brandenburg, Germany), dropping from 10,009 ft asl to 3,348 ft asl, a loss of 6,662 ft in 5 minutes while covering 22 nm.
A further cruise segment began 3 miles north-east of Gruenheide (Brandenburg, Germany), lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.
Final descent was initiated overhead Erkner (Brandenburg, Germany), descending from 3,080 ft asl to 1,494 ft asl, a decrease of 1,586 ft in 2 minutes over 5 nm.
During the final approach to runway 24R at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,368 ft agl to 64 ft agl in 103 seconds and scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 24R, whose length is 3,288 m, was achieved with a threshold speed of 138 kt, described as good. Touchdown occurred 384 m down the runway at 134 kt, noted as a little fast, with a touchdown rate of minus 271 fpm, fair. The touchdown point was 5.5 m off the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 14 °C, wind 11 kt from 160°, crosswind 11 kt and headwind 0 kt. Total landing distance was 1,347 m, representing 41 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft rolled out along runway 24R, maintaining the alignment noted during touchdown.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a movement that took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a total of 481 nm, required 90 minutes, and used 3,779 kg of fuel.
