Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 170 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 27 kt fast at 197 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 170 kt in the climb
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 89 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 89 ft, 44 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 2,338 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 407 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.94 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 07 at EGNT Newcastle Airport, a movement that lasted 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 07, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 1,622 m, representing 73 % of the runway, and lifted off at 154 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 9 kt from 81°, including a 2 kt crosswind component and a 9 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead Hazlerigg, rising from 1,214 ft asl to 15,577 ft asl, an altitude gain of 14,363 ft achieved in 9 minutes while covering 47 nm.
A level cruise segment began 1 mile east of Carluke and persisted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft traveled 7 nm.
The first en-route descent started 1 mile south of Hawick, descending from 15,544 ft asl to 3,982 ft asl, a loss of 11,562 ft over 8 minutes and a distance of 41 nm.
A subsequent descent segment began overhead Shotts, bringing the aircraft down from 3,982 ft asl to 1,395 ft asl, a reduction of 2,586 ft in 4 minutes while covering 13 nm.
The final approach to runway 06 at EGPH Edinburgh Airport was flown from the south-west on a heading of 59.0° at 4 nm and 1,275 ft agl.
Touchdown occurred on runway 06, whose length is 2,338 m; the threshold speed was recorded at 147 kt, while the actual touchdown speed was 141 kt. The aircraft landed 350 m from the threshold, with a hard touchdown rate of minus 473 fpm and a lateral deviation of 6.4 m from the centreline. Weather at the time mirrored the departure conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C, wind 9 kt from 81°, a 3 kt crosswind and an 8 kt headwind.
The total landing distance measured 1,169 m, equivalent to 50 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was reported as very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 114 nm, took 30, and consumed 1,144 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 06 at EGPH Edinburgh Airport was flown from the south-west on a heading of 59.0° at 4 nm and 1,275 ft agl, with temperature 15 °C, wind 9 kt from 81°, a 3 kt crosswind component and an 8 kt headwind component.
The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was well above target at 147 kt.
Touchdown occurred 350 m down the runway; the touchdown speed of 141 kt was a little fast, the touchdown rate was hard at minus 473 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,169 m, representing 50 % of the 2,338 m runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
To refine future landings, reduce the approach speed to meet the target threshold speed and manage the flare to soften the touchdown rate, while maintaining the current alignment performance.
