Flight Score
Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 214 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 1,669 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,669 m of the 2,713 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 540 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 33 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 33, the aircraft used 1,750 m of runway, representing 54 % of the available length, and lifted off at 157 kt. Ambient conditions were 17 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 220°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a tail-wind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced 1 mile south of Norderstedt, with the airplane ascending from 1,045 ft asl to 34,943 ft asl, an increase of 33,898 ft achieved in 17 minutes while covering 105 nm.
Cruise began 2 miles west of Rabke and continued for 42 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 291 nm at level flight.
Descent was initiated 1 mile east of Sankt Konrad, descending from 35,022 ft asl to 2,746 ft asl, a loss of 32,275 ft in 17 minutes and covering 100 nm.
The final approach to runway 28R at LOWK Klagenfurt Airport was flown from the east on a heading of 286.0°, intercepting the approach at 4 nm and 1,276 ft agl. Local weather reported 18 °C, wind 1 kt from 360°, a cross-wind of 1 kt and no head-wind component.
Landing on runway 28R, which is 2,713 m long, was executed with a threshold speed of 134 kt. Touchdown occurred 127 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 125 kt, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 141 fpm and perfect runway alignment.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,592 m, equivalent to 59 % of the runway, and runway-rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, traveling less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 503 nm, required 86 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 3,739 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 approached runway 28R at LOWK Klagenfurt Airport from the east on a heading of 286.0° at 4 nm and 1,276 ft agl. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare the runway length of 2,713 m provided a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was good at 134 kt. The aircraft continued the flare and crossed the touchdown zone, touching down 127 m beyond the touchdown zone.
Touchdown occurred at a speed of 125 kt, which was good, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 141 fpm and perfect runway alignment. Local weather was 18 °C with wind 1 kt from 360°, a cross-wind of 1 kt and no head-wind.
Rollout alignment was very good and the total landing distance was 1,592 m, representing 59 % of the runway.
Minor refinement is advised to reduce the touchdown point overshoot; adjusting flare timing to achieve a touchdown nearer the designated zone will further optimise runway usage while maintaining the high overall score of 98.7 %.
