Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 1,500 ft instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 495 ft past the target, landing at 1,995 ft against the 1,500 ft aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 1,500 ft from the threshold.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,813 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,995 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321 departed from Salt Lake City International Airport, taxiing from the parking area to the runway 34L took 7 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft began its departure roll, it accelerated down the 9,737-foot runway, utilizing 81% of its length, and lifted off at a speed of 178 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 93°F, with a wind of 10 knots at 344°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 9-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from Salt Lake City, it ascended from 5,190 feet above sea level to 32,843 feet, an increase of 27,654 feet, in 21 minutes and covering 142 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was followed by a 35-minute level cruise, during which the aircraft covered 1,138 nautical miles. The crew then initiated a descent from 33,010 feet to 28,904 feet, a decrease of 4,106 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 26 nautical miles. The aircraft then climbed from 28,920 feet to 30,114 feet, an increase of 1,194 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles. The subsequent level cruise phase lasted 9 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile, before the aircraft climbed from 30,114 feet to 33,009 feet, an increase of 2,895 feet, in 5 minutes and covering 35 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04R at Newark Liberty International Airport was initiated from the south-west, with the aircraft descending from 32,621 feet to 1,282 feet, a decrease of 31,339 feet, in 20 minutes and covering 107 nautical miles. The aircraft landed on the 7,028-foot runway, with a touchdown point 626 feet beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 136 knots. The total landing distance was 4,426 feet, 63% of the runway length. Following a smooth touchdown, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 10 minutes and covering 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 1,733 nautical miles, taking 121 minutes, and the aircraft used 24,800 pounds of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 04R at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -137 fpm, indicating a well-executed flare. The touchdown speed of 136 kt was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 143 kt, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown point was 626 ft beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance, suggesting a good approach quality.
The approach to runway 04R from the south west, heading 26.0° at 4 nm and 1,261 ft agl, was characterized by a good threshold height, allowing the aircraft to maintain a stable approach path. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 57°F and a 2 kt headwind, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The rollout phase was executed perfectly, with the aircraft maintaining alignment with the runway centerline throughout. The total landing distance of 4,426 ft, which accounts for 63% of the runway length, is within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was scored 98.3%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
