Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 138 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 145 kt, 7 kt above the 138 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 138 kt at the threshold.
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 1,525 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,525 m of the 3,448 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 340 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 33, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 6 kt at 220 °. The takeoff roll commenced, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 164 kt, utilizing 40% of the available runway length of 1,287 m.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began its ascent from 1,035 ft above sea level, gradually increasing to 29,325 ft in a mere 13 minutes, covering a distance of 66 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady rate of ascent, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude in a relatively short period. Following a brief level cruise phase, the aircraft began its descent, gradually losing altitude as it approached its destination. The descent phases were interspersed with brief level cruise periods, allowing the aircraft to maintain a stable altitude before resuming its descent. The final approach to runway 27 at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was executed from the east, with the aircraft aligning perfectly with the runway centerline.
The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 136 kt, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was good, at 348 m, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The aircraft utilized 42% of the available runway length of 3,453 m, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 7 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 243 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 2,903 kg of fuel during the journey, which took a total of 60 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 27 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 146 kt was significantly above the target, suggesting a cautious approach to ensure a safe touchdown. The aircraft's touchdown distance of 348 m was within acceptable limits, demonstrating a controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 136 kt was slightly above the target, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -273 fpm. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a headwind of 17 kt, contributed to a relatively smooth landing. The crosswind component of 5 kt was minimal, allowing the pilot to maintain control throughout the approach and touchdown.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The total landing distance of 1,448 m, which accounted for 42% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 97.9% reflecting the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
