Next time
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 235 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 382 fpm.
Departure
Rotate the moment the speed tape reaches 147 kt, not after it.
What happened: Rotation was held until 164 kt, 17 kt past the 147 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 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: centreline 2.0° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 4.0° against the runway's 3°.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,336 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,531 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A319 taxied from its parking position to runway 07L at Brussels Airport (EBBR) in 10 minutes, traversing approximately 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 07L, the aircraft accelerated through a take-off distance of 5,143 ft, representing 47 % of the available runway, and lifted off at 165 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 71 °F with a wind of 6 kt from 059°, including a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 6 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead Steenokkerzeel, rising from 1,054 ft asl to 36,652 ft asl, an altitude gain of 35,598 ft achieved in 20 minutes while covering 141 nm.
Level cruise began 1 mile east of Hungenroth, Germany, and continued for 112 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 861 nm.
Descent was initiated 9 miles south of Gaios in the Ionian Islands, Greece, descending from 36,996 ft asl to 1,562 ft asl, a loss of 35,434 ft over 21 minutes and a distance of 115 nm.
The final approach to runway 18R at Patras Araxos Agamemnon Airport (LGRX) was conducted from the north, on a heading of 179.0°, at 4 nm and 1,472 ft agl.
Landing on runway 18R, which is 10,336 ft long, occurred with a threshold speed of 132 kt. Touchdown was recorded 162 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 120 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 190 fpm and a lateral deviation of 10 ft from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 4,022 ft, equivalent to 39 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s alignment on the runway was offset by 31 ft from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to its parking area in 2 minutes, traveling less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,126 nm, required 165 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 13,429 lb of fuel.
The Airbus A319 conducted the final approach to runway 18R at LGRX Patras Araxos Agamemnon Airport from the north, maintaining a heading of 179.0° at 4 nm and 1,472 ft agl. Local weather was 77 °F with a wind of 6 kt from 360°, no cross-wind component and a 6 kt tail-wind component.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and the threshold speed was good at 132 kt.
Touchdown occurred 162 ft beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 120 kt that was good, a vertical rate of -190 fpm that was good, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 ft from the centreline. Total landing distance was 4,022 ft, representing 39 % of the 10,336 ft runway.
During rollout the aircraft’s alignment was slightly misaligned by 31 ft from the centreline.
Refine the aim point to reduce the overshoot beyond the touchdown zone and adjust the flare to achieve a more centered touchdown, which will also improve rollout alignment. Minor corrections in these areas will bring the already high score even closer to optimal performance.
