Reduce your height at the threshold
See Arrival Landing
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,725 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,725 m of the 3,350 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 385 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A350-900, then departed from runway 27L at Charles de Gaulle International Airport (LFPG) in France. The takeoff distance was 1,222 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of Roissy-en-France, and climbed from 1,373 feet above sea level to 37,765 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,392 feet, in 13 minutes and covering 157 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile northeast of Ide Hill in England and lasted 14 minutes, covering 445 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 38,003 feet above sea level to 39,000 feet above sea level, an increase of 998 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 55 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise that followed started at a latitude of 57.1117166 and a longitude of -10.44632, and lasted 47 minutes, covering 1,508 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 39,000 feet above sea level to 39,998 feet above sea level, an increase of 999 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 49 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise that followed started 39 miles east of Makkovik Airport in Canada and lasted 25 minutes, covering 693 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began 2 miles southwest of L'Ange-Gardien in Canada, and the aircraft descended from 39,446 feet above sea level to 1,494 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,952 feet, in 18 minutes and covering 134 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24R at Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (CYUL) was made from the northeast, heading 223.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,377 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 24R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 383 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -299 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 240 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,638 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 3,051 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 135 minutes. The aircraft used 39,825 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A350-900 successfully landed at Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (CYUL) on runway 24R. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 223.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,377 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a high degree of precision, as evident from the very good runway touchdown alignment.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 383 meters, which is within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly above the target, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply a bit more braking to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate of -299 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots, which the pilots effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,638 meters was 49% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the braking phase and were able to align the aircraft with the runway centerline. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, resulting in a score of 96.6%.
