Soften the arrival
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,580 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,347 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Cologne Bonn Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey on runway 31R, taking off with a distance of 6,590 feet, which equated to 53% of the available runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 169 knots, with a local temperature of 77°F and a wind of 7 knots at 299°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Cologne, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 36,843 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 143 nautical miles. The climb was initiated 1 mile east of Eil, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, and continued until the aircraft reached the enroute level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northwest of Butthard, Bavaria, Germany. This phase lasted for 79 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 646 nautical miles. The descent phase began 13 miles west of Kavaje, Tirana, Albania, and continued until the aircraft reached the final approach phase at Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport.
The final approach to runway 34 at Corfu was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 347.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,407 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,356 feet, which was 48% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was slightly higher than desired, at 128 knots, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 3,654 feet, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in just 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 913 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 1,735 pounds of fuel.
The final approach to runway 34 at LGKR Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport from the south was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 347.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,407 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 133 knots, well within the acceptable range. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 128 knots, which was slightly above the ideal touchdown speed, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -326 feet per minute.
The touchdown characteristics were satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 1,356 feet, which was within the acceptable range. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 0 knots from 360°, resulting in a zero crosswind and headwind component. The total landing distance of 3,654 feet was 48% of the runway length, which was within the acceptable range.
The rollout phase was executed flawlessly, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment. The overall performance of the landing was excellent, with a score of 98.9%. The only area for improvement was the slightly fast touchdown speed, which resulted in a firm touchdown rate. However, this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing, and the pilot's skills and judgment were demonstrated to be of a high standard.
