Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 137 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 139 kt against a VREF of 137 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 137 kt at the stabilisation gate.
See Arrival Approach
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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 18 kt FAST on the reference speed of 137 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,785 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,785 m of the 4,065 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 588 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport, the Airbus A321 initiated its takeoff roll on runway 24L. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 158 kt, clearing the runway threshold at 2,782 meters, which represented 70% of the available runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 28 °C, with a wind of 11 kt at 299 °, resulting in a crosswind of 8 kt and a headwind of 7 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from 1,133 ft to 28,009 ft in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 97 nm. The climb phase was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude over Schmiedeberg, Saxony, Germany. The enroute level cruise phase lasted for 7 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 55 nm. The flight then entered a series of enroute descents and level cruises, with the aircraft descending from 28,011 ft to 11,123 ft in 9 minutes, covering 62 nm. The final descent phase began over Zolling, Bavaria, Germany, and the aircraft touched down on runway 08L at EDDM Munich Airport, with a total landing distance of 1,714 meters, representing 43% of the available runway length.
The landing was characterized by a slightly misaligned runway touchdown position, with the aircraft touching down 181 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 130 kt, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 298 nm, taking 61 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,214 kg of fuel. Taxiing to the parking from the runway took 5 minutes, covering 1 nm. The flight concluded with the aircraft safely parked at its destination, EDDM Munich Airport.
The aircraft touched down on runway 08L at EDDM Munich Airport with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 139 kt. The approach quality was good, with a threshold height that met expectations. The touchdown point was 181 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The touchdown speed of 130 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -272 fpm was fair.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 m from the centreline, which was a minor deviation from the ideal alignment. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating a high level of control and precision during the critical phase of flight. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a light wind of 3 kt at 30 °, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,714 m was 43% of the runway length, which was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 95.4%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal, the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
