Airborne in 454 m — 32 % of the runway
Held the centreline on the roll — 0.12 m off at liftoff

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was excessively high at 115 kn. at 0 %, Landing and flare profile at 0 %, −3.37 points
Arrival Rollout — bounce at touchdown; Runway alignment max 6.93 m at 86 %, g force 0.11 to 0.51 g at 89 %, −2.03 points
Arrival Final 3 — Approach angle 9.6 ° at 26 %, bank angle up to 25.5 ° at 39 %, −1.67 points

Top opportunity

Keep the approach speed on target

Arrival Landing

Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.
