Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 146 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 279 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 2,484 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 438 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 06L at LTFJ Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport, a movement that lasted 10 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 06L, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 156 kt and departed after using 1,547 m of runway, representing 51 % of the available length; ambient conditions were 30 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 61 °, a headwind component of 6 kt and no crosswind.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile north east of LTFJ, near Pendik, and the airplane rose from 1,282 ft asl to 34,009 ft asl, an altitude gain of 32,727 ft achieved in 21 minutes while covering 138 nm.
Cruise began 28 miles south east of Balgarevo (Varna, Bulgaria) and was maintained for 144 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 1,070 nm at level flight.
Descent was initiated 60 miles north east of Faroesund (Gotland County, Sweden), with the aircraft descending from 33,672 ft asl to 1,410 ft asl, a loss of 32,262 ft over 23 minutes and a distance of 122 nm.
The final approach to runway 01R at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport was flown from the south on a heading of 10.0 °, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,285 ft agl; local weather reported 13 °C, wind 8 kt from 0 °, a headwind of 7 kt and a crosswind of 1 kt.
Landing on runway 01R was executed with a threshold speed of 137 kt; touchdown occurred at 130 kt, 439 m down the runway, with a firm vertical speed of minus 361 fpm and a lateral deviation of 7.6 m from the centreline; the total landing distance measured 1,290 m, equivalent to 52 % of the runway, and the runway rollout showed a slight misalignment of 8.2 m from centreline.
After touchdown, the aircraft rolled out and decelerated along the remaining runway length before exiting the paved surface.
The Airbus A320 taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 1,340 nm, required 206 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 7,674 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 established a final approach to runway 01R at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport from the south, maintaining a heading of 10.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,285 ft agl while the local temperature was 13 °C, wind 8 kt at 0 °, crosswind 1 kt and headwind 7 kt.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 137 kt.
Touchdown occurred 439 m down the runway; the touchdown speed of 130 kt was a little fast, the touchdown rate was firm at minus 361 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.6 m from centreline.
The total landing distance measured 1,290 m, representing 52 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.2 m from centreline.
With a final score of 95.7 % the landing was strong; reducing the touchdown speed modestly and tightening the lateral alignment on touchdown and rollout will further improve precision.
