Arrival
Level the wings with coordinated aileron on short final so bank stays near wings-level through touchdown.
What happened: Wings were not level through the landing phase, with bank angle at 6.7° on short final.
Watch for: Watch the bank angle indicator, holding it near wings-level through the landing and 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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Rotated at 143 kt, and lifted off at 155 kt 4.1 s later, the nose coming up at 2.1° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 164 kt target, at 167 kt on average.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 1,033 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 768 m of runway left; gear up at 364 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,090 fpm on average to 1,033 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 2,694 m runway.
Rolled from 120 m in, never more than 1.2 m off the centreline. Airborne 58 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length.
The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
The final from 4 nm.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 500 ft below the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 8× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 49 m off the centreline.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo departed EDDN Nuremberg Airport on runway 10. The take-off roll used 1 579 m, 59 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 143 kt. Local weather was 9 °C with a 6 kt wind from 099°, giving a 6 kt headwind and 0 kt crosswind.
Initial climb reached 1 000 ft agl in 28 seconds, averaging 1 890 fpm and attaining 168 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 2 108 ft asl to 35 907 ft asl in 18 minutes, covering 114 nm, beginning about 1 mile east of the departure airport.
Cruise was held at 36 000 ft asl for 77 minutes, covering 520 nm, with the flight positioned about 1 mile north-east of Ottrau.
Descent began from 36 003 ft asl and proceeded to 1 403 ft asl in 19 minutes, covering 88 nm. The descent started 20 miles north of Llandudno and included a brief level-off at 3 000 ft asl.
On final approach to runway 28L at EIDW Dublin Airport, the aircraft descended from 1 237 ft agl to 1 ft agl in 86 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1 000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and wings level; the speed check was not met. Gear was lowered at 3 259 ft agl at 210 kt. The final flap position 5 was selected at 117 ft agl at 159 kt.
Landing occurred on runway 28L, whose length is 2 620 m. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 148 kt. The flare was described as great, though the aircraft ballooned in the flare. Touchdown was 151 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 128 kt, a little fast, with a hard rate of -488 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 14.3 m from the centreline. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 966 m, 37 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was slightly off by 13.4 m from the centreline.
Local weather at Dublin was 14 °C with a 22 kt wind from 220°, giving a 12 kt headwind and an 18 kt crosswind.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering 1 nm. The total flight distance was 731 nm, the total time 127 minutes, and fuel consumption was 5 134 kg.
