Flight Score
Arrival
Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 0.5 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.
What happened: The flare pitch reached 4.7°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 397 fpm. Over-rotating the flare like this usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal landing attitude once sink is arrested at 0.5 ft.
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 2,495 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 264 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Munich Airport's runway 08L was the departure point for the Airbus A319 as it began its journey to Copernicus Wrocław Airport. Taxiing from the parking area to the runway took approximately 9 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. With a local temperature of 30 °C and a gentle headwind of 4 kt, the aircraft took off from the 2,426-meter runway, utilizing 61% of its length. The liftoff speed was 166 kt, and the aircraft quickly gained altitude, climbing from 2,424 feet above sea level to 28,830 feet in just 11 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its enroute climb, it leveled off at 28,830 feet, maintaining a steady altitude for 13 minutes while covering 90 nautical miles. The crew then initiated the enroute descent, starting from an altitude of 29,003 feet above sea level over Libis, Czech Republic. The aircraft descended to 1,700 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 117 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 11 at Copernicus Wrocław Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 116.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,289 feet above ground level.
However, the crew decided to execute a go-around at 0 feet above ground level, likely due to a decision to re-evaluate the approach or to avoid any potential hazards. The aircraft then re-initiated the final approach, and the crew successfully landed on runway 11, which had a length of 2,495 meters. The touchdown distance was 261 meters, and the touchdown speed was 125 kt, both of which were within acceptable limits. The aircraft used a total of 2,423 kilograms of fuel for the 304-nautical-mile journey, which took approximately 64 minutes to complete.
The aircraft touched down on runway 11 at EPWR Copernicus Wrocław Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 133 kt was within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and airspeed. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it rolled out smoothly, with a touchdown distance of 261 m, which was within the expected parameters.
The touchdown speed of 125 kt was also within the acceptable range, indicating a controlled descent and a good understanding of the aircraft's performance characteristics. However, the touchdown rate of -546 fpm was very hard, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the impact. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway.
The overall performance of the landing was good, with a score of 93.8%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27 °C and a headwind of 7 kt, were favorable for the landing. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 kt, which further contributed to the smooth rollout. The pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and airspeed, combined with the favorable weather conditions, resulted in a good landing performance.
