Flight Score
Arrival
Nothing to change in the speed, the height or the flare. Keep the landing attitude held until the mains are on, so the aircraft is not let down onto the runway in the last moment.
What happened: The touchdown rate was 228 fpm. Nothing before it explains that: threshold speed and height were within limits and the flare was flown normally.
Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 228 fpm next time
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,551 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,551 m of the 4,144 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 438 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 the departure runway at VTSP Phuket International Airport, covering 7 nm in 14 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 27, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 1,405 m (47 % of runway) and achieved a liftoff speed of 159 kt; local weather was 30 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 130°, a crosswind component of 1 kt and a tailwind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced overhead VTSP, ascending from 1,040 ft asl to 34,840 ft asl, an increase of 33,799 ft achieved in 17 minutes while covering 115 nm.
The first level cruise began 2 mi north of Ban Na San, lasting 61 minutes and extending over 211 nm.
Descent started 32 mi south-east of VTW6 Pranburi, descending from 35,020 ft asl to 3,041 ft asl, a loss of 31,979 ft in 19 minutes and covering 118 nm.
A brief level cruise followed 4 mi south-east of Ban Lam Luk Ka, lasting 2 minutes and spanning 5 nm.
Subsequent descent began 2 mi north-east of VTY9 Minburi, dropping from 2,816 ft asl to 1,169 ft asl, a decrease of 1,647 ft in 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.
The final approach to runway 20R at VTBS Suvarnabhumi Airport was executed from the north, on a heading of 194.0°, at 4 nm and 1,152 ft agl.
Landing on runway 20R, whose length is 4,143 m, was performed with a threshold speed of 134 kt; touchdown occurred 436 m down the runway at 126 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 195 fpm and very good alignment. Weather at the time was 31 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 210°, a crosswind of 2 kt and a headwind component of 6 kt.
The total landing distance recorded was 1,466 m (35 % of runway) and the rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering 1 nm in 8 minutes.
Overall, the flight covered 470 nm, required 88 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 3,447 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 entered the final approach to runway 20R at VTBS Suvarnabhumi Airport from the north on a heading of 194.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,152 ft agl. Local weather was 31 °C with wind 6 kt from 210 °, giving a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 6 kt head-wind. The approach was noted as having good threshold height.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good speed of 134 kt. The flare was executed with the aircraft positioned correctly for touchdown.
Touchdown occurred 436 m down the runway, a distance described as good, with a touchdown speed of 126 kt that was a little fast. The vertical rate at touchdown was good at -195 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was very good.
Rollout continued for a total landing distance of 1,466 m, representing 35 % of the 4,143 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
To refine the already excellent performance, reduce the touchdown speed slightly to bring it closer to the reference value, and verify speed control during the flare to maintain the optimal touchdown point.
