MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Nothing to change in the speed, the height or the flare. Keep the landing attitude held until the mains are on, so the aircraft is not let down onto the runway in the last moment.
What happened: The touchdown rate was 221 fpm. Nothing before it explains that: threshold speed and height were within limits and the flare was flown normally.
Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 221 fpm next time
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 1,615 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,615 m of the 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 468 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A350-900 taxied from the parking area to runway 30 at KIAD Washington Dulles International Airport in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 30, the aircraft accelerated to a rotation speed of 148 kt and lifted off after traveling 1,791 m, which represented 56 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 29 °C with an 8-kt wind from 199° and a crosswind component of 8 kt.

Descent phase one originated 1 mile northeast of Wasseiges, Wallonia, Belgium, with the aircraft descending from 41,001 ft asl to 3,991 ft asl, a loss of 37,010 ft in 20 minutes across 127 nm.
A brief cruise segment was flown overhead of Nieder-Hilbersheim, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, lasting 3 minutes and covering 10 nm.
Descent phase two began 1 mile southeast of Mainz, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, where the aircraft descended from 3,550 ft asl to 1,655 ft asl, a reduction of 1,895 ft in 2 minutes over 6 nm.
The final approach to runway 07R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport involved a descent from 1,341 ft agl to 63 ft agl in 102 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 07R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport, whose length is 3,984 m, was executed with a threshold speed of 137 kt; touchdown occurred 60 m beyond the touchdown zone at 134 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 221 fpm and a lateral deviation of 4.1 m from the centreline. Ambient conditions were 7 °C temperature, wind 0 kt, crosswind 0 kt and headwind 0 kt.
The total landing distance recorded was 1,541 m, representing 39 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was described as very good.
