Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed back to 136 kt well before the gate.
What happened: Approach was fast through the stabilisation gate, and the threshold was crossed at 147 kt against the 136 kt target. Carrying that extra speed in usually carries the touchdown long, which it did here at 677 m against the 457 m target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 136 kt at the threshold
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: gear still up, no landing flap set and speed 34 kt FAST on the reference speed of 136 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: gear still up, no landing flap set and speed 18 kt FAST on the reference speed of 136 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,751 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,751 m of the 3,530 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 677 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A319 taxied from the parking area to the departure runway in 16 minutes, covering 3 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport, using a takeoff distance of 1,697 m (43 % of runway) and achieving a liftoff speed of 147 kt; local weather reported a temperature of 18 °C, wind 1 kt from 316°, with a 1 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind.
The first en-route climb began overhead Hallbergmoos, Bavaria, Germany, rising from 2,444 ft asl to 15,009 ft asl - an increase of 12,564 ft - in 6 minutes while covering 31 nm.
A level cruise segment started 1 mile south of Vagen, Bavaria, Germany, lasting 2 minutes and extending 10 nm.
The second climb segment originated overhead Bad Wiessee, Bavaria, Germany, climbing from 15,010 ft asl to 24,243 ft asl - a gain of 9,233 ft - in 5 minutes and traversing 33 nm.
A subsequent cruise phase began 4 miles west of Zellberg, Tirol, Austria, lasting 2 minutes and covering 11 nm.
The third climb started 6 miles south of Finkenberg, Tirol, Austria, ascending from 24,881 ft asl to 35,021 ft asl - an increase of 10,140 ft - over 11 minutes and spanning 81 nm.
The final cruise leg was initiated overhead Castello di Godego, Veneto, Italy, lasting 62 minutes and covering 499 nm.
Descent commenced 2 miles south-east of Sant'Angelo Muxaro, Sicilia, Italy, descending from 34,600 ft asl to 1,635 ft asl - a loss of 32,965 ft - in 17 minutes while covering 104 nm.
The final approach to runway 13 at LMML Malta International Airport was flown from the north-west, on a heading of 135.0° at 4 nm and 1,362 ft agl.
Landing on runway 13 at LMML, whose length is 3,530 m, recorded a threshold speed of 148 kt; touchdown occurred 266 m beyond the touchdown zone at 129 kt with a touchdown rate of minus 183 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment was very good. Local weather at the time was 29 °C, wind 1 kt from 0°, with a 1 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind. Total landing distance measured 1,674 m (47 % of runway).
Runway rollout alignment was perfect as the aircraft decelerated to a stop.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 779 nm, took 118, and consumed 3,532 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A319 entered the final approach to runway 13 at LMML Malta International Airport from the north-west on a heading of 135.0 °, 4 nm out and 1,362 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable because the landing gear was not down, the flaps were not set and the sink rate was too high.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height but the threshold speed was well above target at 148 kt. The flare was initiated from the appropriate height, although the excess speed carried through the flare.
Touchdown occurred 266 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 129 kt, described as a little fast, and a vertical rate of minus 183 fpm, which was good. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
Rollout was completed with perfect runway alignment. The total landing distance was 1,674 m, representing 47 % of the 3,530 m runway. Local weather was 29 °C, wind 1 kt from 0 °, crosswind 1 kt and tailwind 1 kt.
Future flights should ensure the gear is down and flaps are set before the 1,000 ft gate to obtain a stable approach, and speed should be managed to meet the target threshold speed, reducing the excess that carried into touchdown.
