Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the attitude instead of letting the nose drop.
What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it, and that pattern usually carries the touchdown long - here it landed at 662 m against the 457 m aim point.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 1,679 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,679 m of the 2,121 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 662 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.

Los Angeles International Airport served as the departure point for the Airbus A320, which taxiing from the parking area to runway 25R required 10 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles. The aircraft rolled onto runway 25R, taking off after a distance of 1,963 meters, which represented 54 % of the available runway. Liftoff speed was 168 knots, and the local temperature was 22 °C. The initial climb commenced 1 mile northwest of El Segundo, California, where the aircraft ascended from 1,134 ft asl to 34,013 ft asl, an increase of 32,879 ft over 24 minutes while covering 161 nautical miles.
The flight entered a level cruise phase 45 miles west of KLOP Point Bennett Research Station Airstrip Lompoc, California, maintaining altitude for 124 minutes and covering 927 nautical miles. A subsequent climb began at latitude 29.0341316, longitude –138.5042484, where the aircraft rose from 33,987 ft asl to 36,009 ft asl, an increase of 2,022 ft in 3 minutes and covering 29 nautical miles. Another cruise segment started at latitude 28.8454082, longitude –139.0307764, lasting 138 minutes and covering 1,044 nautical miles. Descent operations commenced 62 miles north of PHLU Kalaupapa Airport, Hawaii, where the aircraft descended from 35,714 ft asl to 1,340 ft asl, a decrease of 34,374 ft in 20 minutes while covering 118 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04L at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport was conducted from the southwest, heading 53.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,322 ft agl. Landing occurred on runway 04L, which has a length of 2,123 m; the threshold speed was slightly above target at 140 kt. The touchdown point was 246 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 kt and a firm touchdown rate of –339 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 m from the centreline. Local weather at the destination was 27 °C, with wind 11 kt at 79 °, a crosswind of 5 kt and a headwind of 10 kt. Total landing distance was 1,598 m, representing 75 % of the runway. Runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, taxiing back to the parking area required 10 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. The entire flight covered 2,289 nm, took 331 minutes, and consumed 12,969 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 04L at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport was executed from the southwest, maintaining a heading of 53.0° at 4 nm and 1,322 ft AGL. The aircraft approached the threshold with a good height, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 140 kt. The touchdown occurred 246 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 kt, a little fast, and a firm touchdown rate of –339 fpm. The touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 m from the centreline.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway centreline, and the total landing distance was 1,598 m, representing 75 % of the available runway length of 2,123 m. The local weather conditions were 27 °C with a wind of 11 kt from 79°, providing a crosswind component of 5 kt and a headwind of 10 kt. These conditions contributed to the overall stability of the approach and touchdown.
The overall performance score for the landing was 92.2 %. The approach quality, threshold speed, touchdown characteristics, centreline alignment, and rollout were all within acceptable parameters, resulting in a successful landing that met the required performance criteria.
