Improve the touchdown
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 1,658 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,658 m of the 2,791 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 597 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Bilbao Airport (LEBB), the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 12, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 69% of the 1,465-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 152 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 38°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 119°, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 13-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it passed overhead Zamudio, Spain, and continued to ascend to 37,009 feet above sea level, a gain of 35,877 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 177 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 3 miles south of Burbaguena, Spain, and lasted for 16 minutes, during which the aircraft covered an additional 120 nautical miles. Subsequently, the enroute descent phase began 1 mile north of Albalat de la Ribera Polinya de Xuquer, Spain, and saw the aircraft descend from 37,041 feet to 1,318 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,723 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 92 nautical miles.
Upon approaching Ibiza Airport (LEIB), the aircraft initiated its final approach to runway 06 from the southwest, heading 62.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,289 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on the 2,794-meter runway, with the touchdown point located 185 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was slightly above the target, while the touchdown rate of -179 feet per minute was satisfactory. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 397 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 71 minutes and a fuel consumption of 3,740 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 06 at LEIB Ibiza Airport from the south west was conducted with a heading of 62.0° at 4 nm and 1,289 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with the threshold height at 69 ft agl being above the target. The threshold speed of 141 kt was slightly above the target, indicating a slight increase in power application during the approach.
The aircraft touched down 185 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 132 kt, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate of -179 fpm was good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23 °C and a wind of 5 kt at 90°, contributed to a relatively calm landing environment. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 kt, while the headwind component was 5 kt, providing a stable approach path.
The total landing distance of 1,581 m was 57% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 89.6%. While there were some minor deviations from the target values, the pilot's performance was generally good, and the landing was completed safely and efficiently.
