Flight Score
Arrival
Take the power back earlier on final, so the aircraft settles onto the path and the speed comes back to 141 kt together. Do not push down for the height: that only adds speed.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 73 ft agl, 23 ft agl above the 50 ft agl target, and at 152 kt, 11 kt over the 141 kt threshold speed. High and fast together is energy the runway has to absorb, and this touchdown came 502 m beyond the aim point.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 141 kt on short final, then 50 ft agl over the threshold
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 2,496 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,496 m of the 3,329 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 959 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 25 at LIRF Rome-Fiumicino, a movement that lasted 10 minutes and covered 2 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 25, using 1,893 m of runway (60 % of the available length). Rotation occurred at 146 kt. Local weather at departure was 19 °C with wind 9 kt from 100°, a 5 kt crosswind and an 8 kt tailwind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 26 seconds, averaging 1,804 fpm and reaching 168 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 970 ft asl to 31,998 ft asl in 15 minutes, covering 87 nm while remaining overhead LIRF.
The aircraft levelled at 32,000 ft asl for 65 minutes, flying 467 nm, beginning the segment 12 miles north-west of Giglio Castello.
Descent began from 31,997 ft asl to 1,422 ft asl in 26 minutes, covering 143 nm, starting 1 mile west of Hinckange.
Final approach to runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport descended from 1,313 ft agl to 45 ft agl in 90 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration was gear down at 1,756 ft agl and 175 kt; final flap position 7 was selected at 1,275 ft agl and 157 kt.
Landing on runway 25R (runway length 3,329 m) had a threshold height of 73 ft agl, which was well above target, and a threshold speed of 153 kt, slightly above target. The flare was described as excellent; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 542 m beyond the touchdown zone at 142 kt, a little fast, with a firm rate of minus 380 fpm and very good runway alignment. No bounce was observed. Local weather at landing was 6 °C with wind 4 kt from 360°, a 3 kt crosswind and a 2 kt tailwind.
Total landing distance was 2,416 m, 73 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to parking in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 707 nm in 121 minutes and consumed 4,433 kg of fuel.
