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 58 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 58 ft, 13 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.
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 3,139 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 442 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Houari Boumediene Airport (DAAG), the Airbus A380 began its journey with a smooth taxiing process, taking approximately 4 minutes to reach the runway. The aircraft then accelerated down runway 05, lifting off at a speed of 166 kt after a takeoff distance of 1,280 m, which covered 37% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 °C and a moderate headwind of 8 kt.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it began its ascent 1 mile east of Dar el Beida, Algeria, reaching a height of 37,998 ft asl after a climb of 36,971 ft in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 125 nm. The enroute level cruise phase followed, lasting 81 minutes and covering 669 nm, before the aircraft started its descent 68 miles northwest of Tamanrasset Airport (DATR). The descent from 37,980 ft asl to 5,809 ft asl took 20 minutes, covering 127 nm. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 08 at Aguenar – Hadj Bey Akhamok Airport (DAAT), touching down at a speed of 126 kt and a distance of 444 m, which was slightly above the target threshold speed of 139 kt.
The landing was completed with a total landing distance of 1,202 m, covering 43% of the runway. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.7 m from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.4 m from the centreline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 2 minutes to cover less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 928 nm, and the aircraft used 24,502 kg of fuel during the journey, which lasted 127 minutes.
The final approach to runway 08 at DAAT Aguenar – Hadj Bey Akhamok Airport was initiated from the west, heading 82.0° at 4 nm and 1,312 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 139 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing conditions.
The aircraft touched down on the runway at a distance of 444 m, which was considered good. The touchdown speed of 126 kt was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -444 fpm, suggesting a slight loss of control during the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.7 m from the centreline, which could have contributed to the hard touchdown rate. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 34 °C and wind speeds of 26 kt at 129°, may have also played a role in the landing performance.
The total landing distance of 1,202 m was 43% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.4 m from the centreline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 90.5%. While there were some deviations from the optimal landing conditions, the crew's skills and the aircraft's capabilities were able to mitigate these issues and achieve a safe and successful landing.
