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 294 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
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 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 67 kt FAST on the reference speed of 138 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 30 kt FAST on the reference speed of 138 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,822 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,822 m of the 3,515 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 352 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from EDNY Friedrichshafen Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey with a smooth taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 5 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. With a local temperature of 17 °C and a gentle headwind of 6 kt, the aircraft took off from runway 24, utilizing 1,048 meters or 56% of the available runway length. The liftoff speed of 156 kt was achieved, marking the start of the climb phase.
As the aircraft ascended from 2,328 feet above sea level to 22,962 feet, it covered a distance of 71 nautical miles in 11 minutes, demonstrating a steady climb rate. The enroute level cruise phase began approximately 1 mile southeast of Bonstetten, Switzerland, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering 55 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its descent from 23,021 feet, reducing its altitude to 3,994 feet in 17 minutes, while covering 90 nautical miles. A brief level cruise phase occurred overhead Cornale, Italy, lasting 5 minutes and covering 20 nautical miles. The final descent phase started overhead Cassolnovo, Italy, and concluded with a smooth touchdown on runway 35L at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 141 kt, and a touchdown distance of 355 meters was achieved, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 138 kt was a little fast, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 1,750 meters, or 50% of the available runway length, was satisfactory. Following a 5-minute taxiing process from the runway to the parking area, the aircraft concluded its journey, having covered a total distance of 254 nautical miles and utilizing 2,234 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 35L at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport with a firm touchdown rate of -329 fpm, slightly above the target rate. The touchdown speed of 138 kt was a little fast, but the aircraft maintained good control throughout the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline.
The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was slightly above the target at 141 kt. The touchdown distance of 355 m was within the acceptable range, and the aircraft utilized approximately 50% of the available runway length of 3,509 m. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23 °C and a tailwind of 5 kt, contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The rollout phase was also executed well, with the aircraft maintaining very good alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,750 m was within the acceptable range, and the overall performance of the aircraft earned a score of 98.7%. The approach and landing were characterized by good control and precision, with the aircraft responding well to the pilot's inputs.
