Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 138 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 150 kt against a target of 138 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 138 kt at the threshold.
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 1,903 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,903 m of the 3,504 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 616 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 22R at KEWR, a movement that lasted 7 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 22R, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 159 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,670 m, which represented 57 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 26 °C with a wind of 10 kt from 180°, a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 9 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile east of Elizabeth, New Jersey, with the airplane ascending from 824 ft asl to 27,955 ft asl-a gain of 27,131 ft-over 11 minutes while covering 60 nm.
The first cruise segment began overhead Center Valley, Pennsylvania, and was maintained for 11 minutes during which the aircraft progressed 72 nm.
Descent started over New Salem, Pennsylvania, with the flight descending from 28,009 ft asl to 4,708 ft asl, a loss of 23,301 ft, in 8 minutes while traversing 50 nm.
A brief cruise followed over Adamstown, Maryland, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
The second descent began 1 mile north of Poolesville, Maryland, where the aircraft reduced altitude from 4,010 ft asl to 1,585 ft asl-a decrease of 2,425 ft-over 4 minutes and 9 nm.
For the final approach to runway 19L at KIAD, the aircraft approached from the north on a heading of 181.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,260 ft agl.
Landing on runway 19L was executed with a threshold speed of 151 kt; touchdown occurred 206 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 143 kt, a vertical speed of minus 239 fpm, and perfect runway alignment, while local conditions were 21 °C temperature, 4 kt wind from 180°, with no cross-wind and a 4 kt head-wind component.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,829 m, representing 52 % of the runway, and the aircraft maintained perfect alignment throughout the deceleration phase.
After exiting the runway, the A320 taxied to the parking area in 4 minutes, traveling the final 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 207 nm, required 46 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 1,983 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 established final approach to runway 19L at KIAD Washington Dulles International Airport on a heading of 181.0 °, 4 nm from the threshold at 1,260 ft agl. Local weather was 21 °C with wind 4 kt at 180 °, cross-wind 0 kt and head-wind 4 kt. The approach featured a good threshold height and the threshold speed was well above target at 151 kt.
During the flare the aircraft maintained perfect runway alignment and the touchdown point was 206 m beyond the touchdown zone.
Touchdown occurred with a speed of 143 kt, described as fast, and a touchdown rate that was fair at minus 239 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect and the total landing distance was 1,829 m, 52 % of the 3,504 m runway.
Rollout continued with perfect runway alignment throughout the remaining distance.
To refine the already strong performance, reduce the approach speed to bring the threshold speed closer to its target and adjust the flare timing to achieve a touchdown point within the designated zone. This will also help moderate the touchdown speed and rate.
