Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 164 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 28 kt fast at 192 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 164 kt in the climb
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 532 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 353 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Rotated at 146 kt, and lifted off at 158 kt 4.3 s later, the nose coming up at 2.1° a second. Climb 3 averaged 192 kt, 28 kt over its 164 kt target.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 980 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 1,793 m of runway left; gear up at 48 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,830 fpm on average to 980 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 4,065 m runway.
Rolled from 198 m in, never more than 1.5 m off the centreline. Airborne 46 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length.
The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
The final from 4 nm.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 60 ft below the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 26× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 14 m off the centreline.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo departed Munich Airport (EDDM) on runway 08R. The take-off roll was 1,908 m, using 47 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 146 kt. Local weather at departure was 10 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 040°, giving a 4 kt headwind and a 4 kt crosswind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 30 seconds, averaging 1,585 fpm and reaching 200 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 2,512 ft asl to 33,008 ft asl in 17 minutes, covering 101 nm, beginning about 1 mile east of the airport.
Cruise was maintained at 33,000 ft asl for 3 minutes, covering 25 nm, with the aircraft positioned about 2 miles west of Flattach.
Descent began from 33,022 ft asl and continued to 1,467 ft asl in 28 minutes, covering 138 nm, starting roughly 4 miles east of LOMN ARA Flugrettung Nassfeld.
On final approach to runway 09 at Pula Airport (LDPL), the aircraft descended from 1,285 ft agl to 53 ft agl in 114 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 final flap position was 1 at 6,040 ft agl, with a speed of 234 kt.
Landing was made on runway 09, whose length is 2,938 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was 142 kt. The flare was described as very good, although the nose was raised too far. Touchdown occurred 235 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 131 kt, noted as a little fast, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 354 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 7.7 m from the centreline. No bounce was observed. Local weather at landing was 14 °C with a wind of 28 kt from 050°, giving a 22 kt headwind and a 17 kt crosswind.
The total flight covered 274 nm in 61 minutes and consumed 2,306 kg of fuel.
