Flight Score
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 0.4 ft, 11 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 8 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 137 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 8 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 137 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,554 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 529 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320neo taxied from the parking area to runway 09L at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport, a movement that lasted 9 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 09L, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 154 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,562 m, which represented 58 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 14 °C with a wind of 12 kt from 66°, a cross-wind component of 4 kt and a head-wind component of 11 kt.
The climb commenced over Mauregard, lifting the airplane from 1,377 ft asl to 35,000 ft asl, an altitude gain of 33,623 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 113 nm.
Cruise began 1 mile north of Nouan-le-Fuzelier and was maintained for 56 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 429 nm at the assigned flight level.
Descent was initiated 5 miles south of Almazan, reducing altitude from 35,000 ft asl to 3,244 ft asl, a loss of 31,756 ft over 19 minutes and a distance of 108 nm.
The final approach to runway 36R at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport was conducted from the south, aligned on a heading of 360.0° at 4 nm and 1,283 ft agl.
Landing on runway 36R was completed with a touchdown speed of 125 kt, a touchdown point 195 m beyond the touchdown zone, and a vertical speed of minus 248 fpm; the runway length is 3,554 m, the threshold height was 64 ft agl, the threshold speed was 130 kt, and the total landing distance recorded was 1,248 m, representing 35 % of the runway.
Rollout proceeded with perfect runway alignment, bringing the aircraft to a stop after the recorded landing distance.
In total, the flight covered 658 nm, took 106, and consumed 4,697 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320neo conducted the final approach to runway 36R at LEMD from the south, flying a heading of 360.0° at 4 NM and 1,283 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits. Ambient temperature was 11 °C, wind was 12 kt from 66°, providing an 11 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.
At threshold the aircraft encountered a height of 64 ft agl, which was above the target, while the threshold speed was recorded as good at 130 kt. The flare was executed from this condition and the aircraft continued the descent toward the runway.
Touchdown occurred 195 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 125 kt judged good. The vertical speed at touchdown was fair at minus 248 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance measured 1,248 m, representing 35 % of the 3,554 m runway length.
Rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft remained centered on the runway centreline until exit.
Minor refinements should focus on reducing the touchdown point distance to bring the landing closer to the touchdown zone and moderating the vertical rate to improve from fair toward excellent. Maintaining the current speed and alignment while addressing these two items will help sustain the high overall score.
