Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 128 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 344 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 2.5° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,353 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 524 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A330-900 departed runway 06L at CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, accelerating over a takeoff distance of 1,798 m which represented 54 % of the runway length. Rotation was achieved at 148 kt. Ambient conditions were 29 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 040°, a headwind component of 2 kt and no cross-wind.
Climb commenced one mile north-east of CYUL, where the aircraft rose from 1,197 ft asl to 3,167 ft asl, gaining 1,970 ft in one minute while covering three nautical miles.
Cruise began overhead Dollard-Des Ormeaux and was maintained for two minutes, during which the aircraft traversed five nautical miles at level flight.
Descent was initiated one mile north-west of Mont-Royal, descending from 3,188 ft asl to 1,185 ft asl, a loss of 2,003 ft over three minutes and a distance of ten nautical miles.
Final approach to runway 06L at CYUL involved a descent from 814 ft agl to 162 ft agl in 57 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing was executed on runway 06L, whose length is 3,353 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 139 kt. Touchdown occurred 108 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 134 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 344 fpm and a lateral deviation of 7.3 m from the centreline. Weather conditions remained 29 °C, wind 2 kt from 040°, headwind 2 kt and cross-wind zero.
In total, the flight covered 23 nm, lasted 7 minutes, and consumed 564 kg of fuel.
