Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 138 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 145 kt against a target of 138 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 138 kt at the threshold.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,748 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,748 m of the 3,595 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 530 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Munich Airport's runway 26L was the departure point for the Airbus A321, which began its journey with a taxiing period of 7 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. The aircraft then took off, utilizing 2,448 meters, or 61% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 150 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 22°C, with a gentle wind of 7 knots from 330°, resulting in a 4-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it underwent several phases of ascent and level flight. The first enroute climb began overhead Hallbergmoos, Bavaria, Germany, where the aircraft increased its altitude from 2,493 feet to 6,989 feet in just 3 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. The subsequent level cruise phase lasted 3 minutes, covering 17 nautical miles, before the aircraft began another climb phase, this time from 7,012 feet to 27,009 feet in 13 minutes, covering 81 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a series of level cruise phases, each lasting 3 minutes, before beginning its descent towards Vienna International Airport. The final approach to runway 34 was initiated from the south, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 135 knots and a distance of 1,672 meters, or 46% of the runway length.
The landing was characterized by a smooth touchdown rate of -136 feet per minute, although the touchdown speed was slightly above the target. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 293 nautical miles, with a flight time of 64 minutes and a fuel consumption of 3,424 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 34 at LOWW Vienna International Airport from the south was executed with a heading of 344.0° at 4 nm and 1,229 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 55 ft above ground level, slightly above the target. The threshold speed of 144 kt was also slightly above the target, indicating a slightly aggressive approach.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was 118 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 135 kt was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -136 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 9 kt. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a wind of 13 kt at 300°, contributed to the approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,672 m was 46% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision, earning a score of 97.9%.
