Arrival
Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 0.4 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.
What happened: The flare pitch reached 2.5°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 298 fpm. Over-rotating the flare like this usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal landing attitude once sink is arrested at 0.4 ft.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,703 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,703 m of the 2,693 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 537 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Košice International Airport (LZKZ), the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 01, it was met with a local weather condition of 8 °C temperature and a wind of 17 kt at 350 °, resulting in a 7 kt crosswind and a 16 kt headwind. The takeoff roll commenced, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 149 kt, utilizing 35% of the available runway length of 1,100 m.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb phase, which started overhead LZKZ Košice International Airport. The climb from 1,730 ft asl to 34,009 ft asl, an increase of 32,279 ft, was achieved in 19 minutes and covered a distance of 120 nm. Following this, the aircraft entered its enroute level cruise phase, which lasted 24 minutes and covered 176 nm. The cruise phase concluded 2 miles south west of Bytca, after which the aircraft began its enroute descent phase. The descent from 34,031 ft asl to 2,431 ft asl, a decrease of 31,600 ft, was completed in 21 minutes and covered a distance of 121 nm. The aircraft then entered its final approach phase, aligning itself with runway 28 at Nuremberg Airport (EDDN) from the east.
The final approach was executed with a heading of 279.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,389 ft agl. The aircraft landed on runway 28, which had a length of 2,693 m. The touchdown point was 117 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 131 kt was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was firm at -360 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.9 m from the centreline. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 428 nm, and the aircraft utilized 3,477 kg of fuel during the journey, which lasted 74 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 28 at EDDN Nuremberg Airport, with a threshold height of 55 ft agl, slightly above the target. The threshold speed of 139 kt was also slightly above the target, indicating a slightly aggressive approach. The pilot maintained control throughout the final approach, descending from 1,389 ft agl at 4 nm from the runway, heading 279.0°.
The touchdown point was 117 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 131 kt, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -360 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.9 m from the centreline, which could have been a result of the crosswind conditions. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 1 °C and a wind of 6 kt at 330°, contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 1,618 m was 60% of the runway length, indicating a controlled rollout. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.3 m from the centreline, which was consistent with the initial touchdown misalignment. Overall, the landing was scored 92.5%, reflecting the slight deviations from the target approach and touchdown parameters.
