Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 129 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 139 kt against a target of 129 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 129 kt at the threshold.
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 6,308 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,308 ft of the 12,278 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,831 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, the Airbus A319 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the designated runway, a process that took approximately 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway threshold, it initiated its departure roll on runway 15, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 157 knots. The takeoff distance of 7,053 feet was 59% of the available runway length, indicating a smooth and efficient departure.
As the aircraft climbed away from Hamburg, it began its enroute climb phase, which started overhead Alsterdorf. The climb from 1,025 feet above sea level to 37,002 feet above sea level was a significant increase of 35,977 feet, achieved in just 18 minutes and covering a distance of 114 nautical miles. The aircraft then transitioned into a level cruise phase, which lasted for 39 minutes and covered a distance of 306 nautical miles, 2 miles west of Heimburg. The enroute descent phase began 1 mile south-east of Mikulcice, where the aircraft descended from 37,005 feet above sea level to 1,619 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,386 feet, in 24 minutes and covering 140 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 31R from the south-east, aligning with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,157 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed well above the target, at 140 knots. The touchdown point was 461 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 133 knots and a touchdown rate of -228 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 6,038 feet, 50% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 569 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 94 minutes and a fuel consumption of 7,591 pounds.
The aircraft touched down on runway 31R at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, having approached from the south east at a heading of 312.0°. The final approach was conducted at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the threshold and an altitude of 1,157 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was above the target, reaching 140 knots.
The touchdown point was located 461 feet beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The touchdown speed of 133 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -228 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating excellent control and precision during the landing phase. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 88°F and a light wind of 3 knots from 129°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind.
The total landing distance of 6,038 feet was 50% of the runway length, indicating a moderate landing performance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 97.1% achieved.
