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 1,622 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,622 m of the 2,690 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 516 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport (LFKC), the Airbus A321 began its journey with a taxiing period of 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 36, with a takeoff distance of 1,177 meters, accounting for 56% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 161 knots, amidst local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and a 2-knot headwind at 80 degrees.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began ascending from 960 feet above sea level to 34,008 feet, a vertical increase of 33,048 feet in 20 minutes, covering 119 nautical miles. The climb phase concluded 1 mile southeast of Calvi, marking the beginning of the enroute level cruise. The aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 48 minutes, covering 339 nautical miles, before initiating the enroute descent phase. Descending from 34,040 feet to 3,011 feet, the aircraft decreased its altitude by 31,030 feet in 23 minutes, covering 124 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23L at Düsseldorf Airport (EDDL) was initiated from the northeast, with a heading of 233.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,309 feet above ground level.
The Airbus A321 landed on runway 23L, with a total landing distance of 1,545 meters, accounting for 65% of the runway. The touchdown point was 104 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 130 knots, slightly above the target. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centerline. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 599 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 103 minutes and a fuel consumption of 4,684 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 23L at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport from the north east was executed with a heading of 233.0° at 4 nm and 1,309 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was 104 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 130 kt was a little fast. The touchdown rate of -290 fpm was fair, but not ideal. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the slight crosswind of 2 kt. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13 °C and a wind of 3 kt at 90°, did not pose a significant challenge to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,545 m was 65% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft. Overall, the landing was scored 96.4%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
