Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 170 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 152 kt against a target of 170 kt, running 18 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 170 kt.
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 195 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 1,586 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,586 m of the 3,641 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 520 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 36 at Milano Linate Airport, a movement that lasted 11 minutes and covered 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 36, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 1,392 m, representing 57 % of the runway, and lifted off at 144 kt. Local weather was temperature 17 °C, wind 1 kt from 270°, crosswind 1 kt and headwind 0 kt.
Climb began overhead the RB11 Idroscalo Milan waypoint, ascending from 1,335 ft asl to 36,010 ft asl, an increase of 34,675 ft achieved in 24 minutes while covering 161 nm.
Level cruise started about 1 mile west of Ettingen, Switzerland, and continued for 43 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 325 nm.
Descent was initiated 17 miles west of Equihen-Plage, France, descending from 36,030 ft asl to 1,376 ft asl, a loss of 34,654 ft in 15 minutes and covering 77 nm.
The final approach to runway 27L at London Heathrow Airport was flown from the east on a heading of 270.0° at 4 nm and 1,287 ft agl.
The aircraft landed on runway 27L, whose length is 3,652 m; the threshold speed was 137 kt. Touchdown occurred 112 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 126 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 166 fpm. Local weather was temperature 15 °C, wind 1 kt from 270°, crosswind 0 kt and headwind 1 kt; runway alignment was very good.
The total landing distance measured 1,514 m, representing 41 % of the runway, and rollout alignment remained very good.
After landing, the Airbus A320 taxied to the parking area, a taxi-in that took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 572 nm, required 101 minutes, and consumed 4,150 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 conducted a final approach to runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow from the east, maintaining a heading of 270.0° at 4 nm and 1,287 ft agl. Local weather was 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a cross-wind component of 0 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft achieved a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 137 kt.
Touchdown occurred 112 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a good touchdown speed of 126 kt, a good vertical rate of minus 166 fpm, and a very good runway touchdown alignment.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,514 m, representing 41 % of the 3,652 m runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
To refine the already strong performance, aim to reduce the touchdown offset so the aircraft lands closer to the start of the touchdown zone, which will further shorten the landing distance and enhance runway utilization. Maintaining the current speed and alignment practices will preserve the high score achieved.
