Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 132 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 148 kt against a target of 132 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 132 kt at the threshold.
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 3,498 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 548 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Tunis Carthage International Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey with a taxiing period of 10 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. At 29, the aircraft commenced its departure roll, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 154 knots. The takeoff distance of 967 meters accounted for 37% of the available runway length. Local weather conditions at the time included a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 35 knots from a direction of 310°, resulting in a 10-knot crosswind and a 33-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to 30,000 feet, it traversed 94 nautical miles in 15 minutes, increasing its altitude by 28,944 feet. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted 22 minutes and covered 370 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 30,009 feet to 31,011 feet, covering 13 nautical miles in just 2 minutes. The subsequent level cruise phase lasted 18 minutes and covered 141 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it initiated a descent from 30,987 feet to 1,666 feet, a decrease of 29,321 feet in 18 minutes, covering 93 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03L at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 37.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,383 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown point 126 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly above the target, while the touchdown rate of -288 feet per minute was considered fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.6 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance of 1,366 meters accounted for 43% of the available runway length. Following a taxiing period of 7 minutes, covering 1 nautical mile, the aircraft arrived at the parking area. The total flight distance was 721 nautical miles, with a flight time of 92 minutes and a fuel consumption of 5,382 kilograms.
The aircraft touched down on runway 03L at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, a 3,202-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the southwest. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was above the target, reaching 149 knots, which may have contributed to the subsequent touchdown characteristics.
The aircraft touched down 126 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 136 knots, which was faster than desired. The touchdown rate of -288 feet per minute was fair, indicating a relatively smooth descent. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating 7.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a 25-knot headwind, may have influenced the approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,366 meters was 43% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high level of control and precision during the post-touchdown phase. Overall, the landing performance scored 93.8%, reflecting a satisfactory but not exceptional execution of the landing.
