Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so the speed is back to 131 kt before the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: Speed was still fast at the stabilisation gate, and crossing the threshold 17 kt above target usually carries a fast touchdown with it.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 131 kt at the threshold.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 19 kt FAST on the reference speed of 131 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,104 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,104 ft of the 11,795 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,031 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 22L at Liège Airport in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 22L the aircraft used 5,127 ft, representing 48 % of the runway, and lifted off at 166 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 71 °F, wind 6 kt at 270 °, with a crosswind component of 4 kt and a headwind component of 4 kt.
Climb commenced 1 mile west of Mons-lez-Liège, ascending from 1,573 ft asl to 35,011 ft asl, a gain of 33,438 ft achieved in 20 minutes while covering 142 nm.
Level cruise began overhead Kiedrich, Germany, and continued for 28 minutes, during which 250 nm were flown.
Descent started 1 mile south of Netolice, Czech Republic, descending from 34,526 ft asl to 4,135 ft asl, a loss of 30,391 ft in 23 minutes over a distance of 149 nm.
A second level cruise segment initiated 2 miles south-east of Rust, Austria, lasting 3 minutes and covering 10 nm.
The next descent began 2 miles north of Donnerskirchen, Austria, dropping from 3,816 ft asl to 1,830 ft asl, a decrease of 1,986 ft in 2 minutes across 6 nm.
Final approach to runway 34 at Vienna International Airport was conducted from the south, on a heading of 344.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,231 ft agl.
Touchdown occurred on runway 34, whose length is 11,795 ft; the threshold speed was 148 kt, touchdown speed was 142 kt, and touchdown distance measured 1,026 ft. Threshold height was reported as good, and runway touchdown alignment was reported as very good. The aircraft impacted the runway with a firm rate of minus 343 fpm. Local weather at the time was 75 °F, wind 8 kt at 300 °, crosswind 6 kt, headwind 6 kt.
The total landing distance was 4,840 ft, representing 41 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was reported as perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 564 nm in 88 minutes and consumed 7,624 lbs of fuel.
The Airbus A320ceo entered the final approach to runway 34 at LOWW Vienna International Airport from the south on a heading of 344.0° at 4 nm and 1,231 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was well above target at 148 kt. The aircraft crossed the threshold and began the flare, achieving a touchdown distance of 1,026 ft. Touchdown speed was fast at 142 kt and the touchdown rate was firm at minus 343 fpm, while runway touchdown alignment was very good.
Touchdown occurred on runway 34, whose length is 11,795 ft, in local conditions of temperature 75 °F, wind 8 kt from 300°, with a 6 kt headwind and a 6 kt crosswind. The aircraft maintained very good alignment through the touchdown point.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 4,840 ft, representing 41 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
With a final score of 96.4 %, the landing was strong overall; reducing the threshold and touchdown speeds toward their targets will lower the firm touchdown rate and improve energy management. Refining flare timing to achieve a softer touchdown will further enhance runway usage while preserving the excellent alignment already demonstrated.
