Flight Score
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 62 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 62 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 560 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,790 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 560 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 32 at EGNM Leeds Bradford Airport in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 32, the aircraft used 1,469 m of runway, representing 74 % of the available length, and lifted off at 154 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 20 kt from 350°, giving a cross-wind component of 11 kt and a head-wind component of 17 kt.
Climb commenced overhead Guiseley, rising from 1,736 ft asl to 34,565 ft asl, an altitude gain of 32,829 ft achieved in 16 minutes while covering 93 nm.
Level cruise began over Shiremoor and continued for 55 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 409 nm.
Descent was initiated 4 miles south-west of EK76 Tunø¸ Airstrip Løkkegårde, descending from 34,937 ft asl to 1,304 ft asl, a loss of 33,633 ft in 22 minutes and covering 118 nm.
The final approach to runway 30 at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport was flown from the south-east on a heading of 303.0° at 4 nm and 1,283 ft agl. Weather at the time was 15 °C with a wind of 20 kt from 350°, producing a cross-wind of 15 kt and a head-wind of 14 kt.
Landing on runway 30, which is 2,796 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 62 ft agl and a threshold speed of 137 kt. Touchdown was recorded 219 m beyond the touchdown zone at 132 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 188 fpm; runway alignment at touchdown was perfect. The total landing roll measured 1,195 m, equivalent to 43 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment remained perfect throughout the deceleration phase.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 627 nm, lasted 98 minutes, and consumed 4,541 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 executed the final approach to runway 30 at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport from the south-east on a heading of 303.0° at 4 nm and 1,283 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the aircraft was 62 ft agl, which was above the target height, and the threshold speed was recorded as good at 137 kt.
Touchdown occurred 219 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 132 kt, noted as a little fast, and a vertical rate of minus 188 fpm that was good. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 1,195 m, representing 43 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather was temperature 15 °C, wind 20 kt from 350°, with a crosswind component of 15 kt and a headwind component of 14 kt.
Refine speed control to achieve the target touchdown speed more closely, and adjust the flare to reduce the threshold height to the intended value. These minor adjustments will help maintain the high overall performance reflected by the 97.0 % score.
