The Airbus A321 established the final approach to runway 26R at KIAH from the east on a heading of 270.0° at 4 NM and 1,364 ft AGL, with local temperature 68 °F, wind 3 kt from 225°, a 2-kt crosswind component and a 2-kt headwind component, and the threshold height was good.
At threshold the aircraft’s speed was slightly above target at 142 kt, and the flare was initiated from the correct height, maintaining the established approach parameters.
Touchdown occurred 1,301 ft down the runway at a speed of 140 kt, which was a little fast, and the aircraft settled with a firm rate of minus 396 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 4,487 ft, representing 50 % of the 8,990-ft runway, and runway rollout alignment remained perfect throughout.
To convert the minor excess speed into a smoother touchdown, reduce the approach speed to meet the target value and fine-tune the flare timing to lessen the firm rate while preserving the excellent alignment already demonstrated.
