Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed back to 138 kt well before the gate.
What happened: Approach was fast through the stabilisation gate, and the threshold was crossed at 145 kt against the 138 kt target. Carrying that extra speed in usually carries the touchdown long, which it did here at 1,808 ft against the 1,500 ft target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 138 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: speed 52 kt FAST on the reference speed of 138 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 24 kt FAST on the reference speed of 138 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,738 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,738 ft of the 9,991 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,808 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from KLAS Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Airbus A320 began its journey with a taxiing period of 7 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 19R, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 150 knots after a takeoff distance of 5,363 feet, which accounted for 64% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 81°F, with a gentle wind of 2 knots at 59°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Las Vegas, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 37,005 feet above sea level after a vertical ascent of 33,845 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 175 nautical miles. The climb phase concluded 11 miles south of the 44AZ Sandhill Ranch Airport in Page, Arizona, where the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 37,005 feet for 130 minutes while covering a distance of 1,173 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase commenced 3 miles south of the IN15 T intersection, with the aircraft descending from 37,035 feet to 2,153 feet above sea level in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 138 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36R at KCVG Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport was conducted from the south, with the aircraft touching down on the runway after a total landing distance of 5,474 feet, which accounted for 55% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 145 knots, while the touchdown rate was excellent at -63 feet per minute. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 61°F, with a wind of 7 knots at 310°. Following a taxiing period of 2 minutes, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 1,494 nautical miles in 185 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 15,134 pounds.
The aircraft touched down on runway 36R at KCVG Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 145 kt. The approach quality was good, with a threshold height that met expectations. The touchdown point was 444 ft beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The touchdown speed of 134 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -63 fpm was excellent, demonstrating good control and precision.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 61 °F and a wind of 7 kt at 310 °, resulted in a crosswind of 5 kt and a headwind of 5 kt. These conditions did not significantly impact the landing, and the aircraft performed well in the prevailing winds. The total landing distance of 5,474 ft was 55% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled rollout.
The rollout phase was also executed well, with the aircraft maintaining very good alignment on the runway centerline. The overall performance of the aircraft and the crew resulted in a high score of 98.2%, reflecting the precision and control demonstrated throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
