Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 69 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 69 ft, 24 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
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.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,097 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 270 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Tivat Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey with a smooth taxiing process, taking approximately 4 minutes to reach the runway. As it rolled down runway 14, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 137 kt, clearing the ground at 958 meters, which was 38% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 28 °C and a gentle tailwind of 4 kt.
As the aircraft climbed out of Tivat, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 20,008 ft in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nm. The climb was steady, with a net increase of 19,020 ft from the initial altitude of 988 ft. The enroute level cruise phase followed, lasting 5 minutes and covering 37 nm, as the aircraft flew 1 mile east of Perast. The descent phase began 9 miles south east of Gacko, where the aircraft descended from 20,000 ft to 2,487 ft in 14 minutes, covering 59 nm. The final approach to runway 29 at Sarajevo International Airport was executed from the south east, with a heading of 298.0 ° at 2 nm and 809 ft agl.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 272 meters, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed was slightly above target at 116 kt, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,112 meters, which was 56% of the runway's length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 132 nm, with a flight time of 35 minutes and a fuel consumption of 1,603 kg.
The aircraft touched down on runway 29 at LQSA Sarajevo International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition into the landing phase. The threshold speed of 122 kt was slightly above the target, but still within acceptable limits. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it began its rollout, maintaining perfect centerline alignment throughout.
The touchdown characteristics were notable, with a touchdown distance of 272 m, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 116 kt was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -295 fpm was fair. Despite these minor deviations, the aircraft's overall performance was impressive, with a total landing distance of 1,112 m, which represented 56% of the runway length. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23 °C and a headwind of 8 kt, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The landing was deemed a success, with a final score of 99.2%. The perfect runway rollout alignment and overall centerline adherence throughout the landing phase were notable highlights. The crew's skill and attention to detail were evident in the aircraft's performance, and the landing was a testament to their expertise.
