Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 131 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 138 kt against a target of 131 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 131 kt at the threshold.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,882 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 590 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320ceo taxied from the parking apron 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 1,327 m of runway, representing 41 % of the available length, and lifted off at 149 kt; ambient conditions were 14 °C with a wind of 14 kt from 290°, a 10 kt cross-wind component and an 11 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile south-west of Langenhorn, with the flight ascending from 1,014 ft asl to 37,483 ft asl, an increase of 36,469 ft achieved in 21 minutes while covering 133 nm.
The first cruise segment began overhead Witteveen in the Dutch province of Drenthe and continued for 34 minutes, during which 252 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent started over EGSG Stapleford Aerodrome in Romford, Essex, descending from 38,023 ft asl to 8,009 ft asl, a loss of 30,014 ft in 14 minutes and spanning 82 nm.
A brief level cruise followed over Lea in Wiltshire, England, lasting 2 minutes and covering 8 nm.
The next descent began above Yatton Keynell, also in Wiltshire, with the aircraft dropping from 8,160 ft asl to 1,984 ft asl, a decrease of 6,176 ft in 6 minutes while traveling 18 nm.
Final approach to runway 27 at EGGD Bristol Airport involved a descent from 1,429 ft agl to 87 ft agl in 108 seconds, and the approach was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 27, which is 1,882 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 138 kt; touchdown was 170 m beyond the touchdown zone at 125 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 182 fpm and a lateral deviation of 5.9 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was 11 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 239°, a 3 kt cross-wind and a 5 kt head-wind component.
The rollout distance measured 1,191 m, representing 63 % of the runway, and alignment during the rollout was described as very good.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied back to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 500 nm, took 86 minutes, and consumed 3,440 kg of fuel.
