Flight Score
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to stop the drift as soon as it starts in the flare.
What happened: On the landing you drifted 7.1 m off the centreline, and that kind of lateral drift usually carries through to a touchdown point 7.1 m off centreline and into a rollout that is still skewed off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Heading indicator: track straight down the extended runway centreline through touchdown and rollout.
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 4,065 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 556 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 31L, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20 °C and a gentle headwind of 7 knots from a direction of 310 °. With a crosswind of 0 knots, the aircraft was able to depart smoothly, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 146 knots in just 1,201 meters, or 40% of the runway length.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,452 feet above sea level to 33,425 feet in just 16 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude in a relatively short period of time. Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude of 33,425 feet for 16 minutes as it covered a distance of 121 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, gradually losing altitude as it approached its destination. The descent phase was marked by a series of level cruise segments, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude for short periods of time before beginning its descent once again.
As the aircraft approached Munich Airport, it entered its final approach phase, descending from 5,010 feet above sea level to 2,826 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then lined up with runway 08R, a 3,987-meter-long runway, and began its final descent. The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down 142 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 135 knots. The touchdown rate was good, at -167 feet per minute, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 365 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 3,514 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted a total of 75 minutes.
The final approach to runway 08R at EDDM Munich Airport from the west was executed with a heading of 83.0° at 4 nm and 1,348 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was well above the target, reaching 144 kt, which may have been a result of the 11 kt headwind and 1 kt crosswind.
The aircraft touched down 142 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 135 kt, which was a little fast. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate was good at -167 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.5 m from the centreline, which may have been a result of the slight crosswind. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17 °C and a wind of 11 kt at 90°, did not pose significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,408 m, which accounted for 35% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing was scored 96.8%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
