Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the attitude instead of letting the nose drop.
What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it, and that pattern usually carries the touchdown long - here it landed at 809 m against the 457 m aim point.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 2,577 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 809 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from MTPP Toussaint Louverture International Airport, the aircraft rolled out on runway 10 and achieved liftoff speed of 150 kt after a takeoff distance of 1,264 m, which represented 41 % of the available runway. The climb commenced 1 mile east of the departure point, rising from 1,058 ft to 35,009 ft over 20 minutes while covering 134 nm, an ascent of 33,951 ft. The climb phase was conducted under a temperature of 32 °C with a 6 kt wind from 110°, including a 2 kt crosswind and a 6 kt headwind component.
The aircraft entered level cruise 50 miles south of Oviedo, maintaining altitude for 25 minutes and covering 207 nm. Descent began 78 miles north of Tanki Leendert, dropping from 35,017 ft to 1,328 ft in 22 minutes over 111 nm, a descent of 33,689 ft. Approach to runway 11 at TNCC Hato International Airport was initiated from the west, heading 102.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,283 ft AGL. Landing occurred on a 2,576 m runway, with a touchdown point 393 m beyond the touchdown zone and a touchdown speed of 127 kt; the touchdown rate was -215 fpm and the touchdown position was 4.0 m off the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,430 m, accounting for 56 % of the runway length.
After touchdown, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm. The overall flight covered 460 nm in 77 minutes and consumed 3,201 kg of fuel. The approach and landing were conducted under a temperature of 29 °C with a 5 kt wind from 110°, including a 1 kt crosswind and a 5 kt headwind. The runway rollout alignment was described as very good.
Final approach to runway 11 at TNCC Hato International Airport was established from the west, with the aircraft heading 102.0° at 4 nm and 1,283 ft AGL. The touchdown occurred 393 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 127 kt and a descent rate of minus 215 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned, 4.0 m from the centreline.
Runway 11, 2,576 m long, was used for the landing. The total landing distance was 1,430 m, representing 56 % of the available runway. The threshold height and threshold speed of 137 kt were reported as good. Local weather conditions were 29 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 110°, a crosswind of 1 kt and a headwind of 5 kt. The runway rollout alignment was described as very good.
