Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the attitude instead of letting the nose drop.
What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it, and that pattern usually carries the touchdown long - here it landed at 1,989 ft against the 1,500 ft aim point.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,467 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,989 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 06L at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport in 8 minutes, covering approximately 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 06L, the aircraft used 3,363 ft of runway, representing 34 % of the available length, and lifted off at 149 kt; ambient temperature was 84 °F with a wind of 5 kt from 030°, including a 3 kt crosswind and a 4 kt headwind.
Climb commenced 1 mile south of El Prat de Llobregat, with the airplane ascending from 929 ft asl to 33,901 ft asl-a gain of 32,972 ft-over 13 minutes while covering 78 nm.
Level cruise began 32 miles southeast of Llafranc and continued for 21 minutes, during which the flight traversed 572 nm at cruise altitude.
Descent was initiated 1 mile west of Zwingenberg, descending from 33,998 ft asl to 2,894 ft asl, a loss of 31,105 ft in 18 minutes and covering 96 nm.
The final approach to runway 21 at EDFH Frankfurt-Hahn Airport was flown from the northeast on a heading of 212.0°, intercepting the approach at 4 nm and 1,264 ft agl.
Landing on runway 21 was achieved with a threshold speed slightly above target at 134 kt; touchdown occurred 630 ft beyond the touchdown zone at 124 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 132 fpm and perfect alignment, while local weather reported a temperature of 75 °F, wind 5 kt from 030°, no crosswind and a 5 kt tailwind.
The rollout distance measured 4,657 ft, representing 41 % of the runway, and alignment remained perfect throughout the deceleration phase.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 753 nm, lasted 64 minutes, and consumed 11,174 lb of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 established the final approach to runway 21 at EDFH Frankfurt-Hahn Airport from the north-east, tracking a heading of 212.0° at 4 nm and 1,264 ft AGL. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 134 kt. Local weather was 75 °F with wind 5 kt from 030°, crosswind 0 kt and tailwind 5 kt.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft maintained the good threshold height, though the speed remained slightly above the intended value at 134 kt.
Touchdown occurred 630 ft beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 124 kt that was good, a smooth descent rate of minus 132 fpm, and perfect runway alignment.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 4,657 ft, representing 41 % of the 11,467 ft runway, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
To tighten the performance, reduce the approach speed to meet the target value and aim to touch down within the designated zone, which will further improve the already high score of 97.9 %.
