Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 168 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 30 kt fast at 198 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 168 kt in the climb
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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.

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 1,776 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,776 m of the 3,710 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 458 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 363 fpm arrival was firm.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321-ceo departed LEIB Ibiza Airport on runway 06. The take-off roll used 1,368 m, which is 49 % of the runway, and rotation was achieved at 150 kt. Local weather was 25 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 089°, giving a 2 kt cross-wind and a 4 kt head-wind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 23 seconds, averaging 2,028 fpm and reaching 202 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 994 ft asl to 36,008 ft asl in 24 minutes, covering 156 nm and beginning about 1 mile north-east of LEIB. Level cruise was held at 36,500 ft asl for 38 minutes, covering 272 nm, starting roughly 2 miles north-east of LEBR Aeródromo Benagéber.
Descent began from 37,017 ft asl and proceeded to 1,644 ft asl in 31 minutes, covering 157 nm, with a brief level-off at 3,000 ft asl. The final approach to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport descended from 1,340 ft agl to 61 ft agl in 96 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were all met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. The aircraft was in final flap position 5 at 2,237 ft agl and was configured at 160 kt.
Landing on runway 02 was performed with a good threshold height. Threshold speed was 147 kt. The flare was described as good, with little round-out. Touchdown occurred 458 m down the runway at a speed of 143 kt, a little fast, and with a firm rate of minus 363 fpm. Alignment on touchdown and during rollout was perfect, and no bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,699 m, which is 46 % of the runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.
Local weather at LPPT was 17 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 320°, giving a 3 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind. After landing, taxiing to the parking area took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
The flight covered 594 nm in 105 minutes and consumed 4,766 kg of fuel.
