Soften the arrival
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,560 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,560 m of the 1,934 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 547 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Düsseldorf Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. As it reached the runway, the aircraft started its departure roll on runway 23L, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 147 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,521 meters was 64% of the runway length, indicating a smooth and efficient departure.
As the aircraft climbed away from Düsseldorf, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 31,003 feet above sea level in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 122 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft eventually reaching its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise phase started over Heusenstamm, Germany, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering 129 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, initially from 30,986 feet to 3,999 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,988 feet in 17 minutes, covering 101 nautical miles. The final descent phase started over Aldrans, Austria, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Innsbruck Airport, it began its final approach to runway 08, aligning itself with the runway and descending to a height of 2,743 feet above sea level. The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down 93 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 129 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -320 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,440 meters, 76% of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 398 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 3,894 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted for 76 minutes.
The final approach to runway 08 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport from the west was executed with a heading of 83.0° at 2 nm and 822 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was 93 m beyond the touchdown zone, which was a minor deviation from the ideal landing spot. The touchdown speed of 129 kt was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -320 fpm, indicating a relatively abrupt deceleration. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating precise control and coordination during the landing phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26 °C and a gentle headwind of 8 kt, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,440 m was 76% of the runway length, indicating a satisfactory use of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centerline. Overall, the landing was scored 83.6%, reflecting a combination of factors, including the approach quality, touchdown characteristics, and rollout performance.
