Be on speed by the gate
Next time
Adjust power to bring the approach speed onto 116 kt and hold it through the gates.
What happened: The approach speed deviated from the target through the stabilisation gates. This kind of deviation usually carries through to an unstable threshold crossing.
Watch for: Watch the airspeed indicator against 116 kt.
Departure
Rotate the moment the speed tape reaches 136 kt, not after it.
What happened: Rotation was held until 149 kt, 13 kt past the 136 kt rotation target. Carrying that much extra speed into rotation usually adds unwanted energy right at liftoff.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 305 m and 152 m above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 305 m gate: speed 45 kt FAST on the reference speed of 116 kt.
At the 152 m gate: speed 40 kt FAST on the reference speed of 116 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,889 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 485 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 27 at EGGD Bristol Airport in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 27, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 149 kt and left the ground after a takeoff distance of 759 m, representing 40 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were 19 °C with a wind of 12 kt from 290°, including a 5 kt cross-wind component and an 11 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced 1 mile north-east of Wrington, with the aeroplane ascending from 439 m asl to 3 965 m asl, a gain of 3 526.5 m achieved in 5 minutes while covering 26 nm.
The first cruise segment began 1 mile south of Iron Acton and was maintained for 10 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 65 nm at level flight.
Descent started 1 mile north-west of Farnborough, with a reduction in altitude from 3 964 m asl to 852 m asl, a loss of 3 112.9 m over 7 minutes and a distance of 33 nm.
A second level cruise was established overhead Blackheath, lasting 4 minutes and covering 14 nm before the final approach began.
The final approach to runway 27R at EGLL London Heathrow was conducted from the east, on a heading of 270.0°, at 4 nm and 398.9 m agl.
Landing on runway 27R, which is 3 889 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 132 kt. Touchdown was recorded 61 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 118 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 1.3 m/s and a lateral deviation of 8.0 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was 22 °C with a wind of 13 kt from 260°, including a 2 kt cross-wind and a 13 kt head-wind. The total landing distance measured 1 379 m, equivalent to 35 % of the runway.
Rollout alignment was noted to be slightly off centreline by 7.9 m as the aircraft decelerated and exited the runway.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 146 nm, required 37 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 1 272 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320ceo began its final approach to runway 17R at SCEL from the north, tracking a heading of 177.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,353 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, and the local weather was 24 °C with wind 6 kt from 230 °, a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind component.
At threshold the aircraft displayed good threshold height and established a threshold speed of 136 kt, indicating an appropriate configuration for the flare.
Touchdown occurred 203 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 128 kt, noted as a little fast, and a touchdown rate of -263 fpm, rated fair. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,692 m, representing 44 % of the 3,806 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
To convert the strong score of 96.1 % into an even smoother landing, reduce the touchdown speed toward the target VREF and refine flare technique to achieve a lower sink rate on touchdown.
