Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 287 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 3,710 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 439 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 24 at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 166 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,865 m, which represented 51 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 32 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 260 °, a headwind component of 1 kt and no crosswind.
Climb commenced overhead Chilly-Mazarin, rising from 1,249 ft asl to 34,968 ft asl - an altitude gain of 33,719 ft - over 22 minutes while covering 146 nm.
The level cruise segment began 1 mile south of Courbeveille and continued for 78 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 592 nm at cruise altitude.
Descent was initiated 9 miles north-east of Ourem, descending from 34,824 ft asl to 1,640 ft asl - a loss of 33,185 ft - in 16 minutes and traversing 95 nm.
On final approach to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport, the aircraft approached from the south on a heading of 23.0 °, at 4 nm and 1,282 ft agl; local conditions were 22 °C, wind 3 kt from 280 °, with a 3 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind component.
Landing on runway 02 was achieved with a threshold speed of 140 kt; touchdown occurred at 447 m down the runway at 134 kt, a vertical speed of minus 139 fpm, and a lateral deviation of 4.5 m from the centreline. The total landing distance recorded was 1,207 m, representing 32 % of the runway length, and the runway length is 3,716 m.
Rollout proceeded with very good alignment, completing the ground run after the touchdown distance noted above.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering an additional 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 843 nm, required 128 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 5,588 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 executed the final approach to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport from the south on a heading of 23.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,282 ft agl, with ambient temperature 22 °C, wind 3 kt from 280 °, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt tail-wind component.
At threshold the aircraft established a good threshold speed of 140 kt and the height over the threshold was reported as good.
Touchdown occurred 447 m down the runway at a speed of 134 kt, noted as a little fast, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 139 fpm; the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 4.5 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,207 m, representing 32 % of the 3,716 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
Refine speed control to achieve the target VREF more precisely and adjust the touchdown aim point to reduce the 4.5 m lateral offset, which will further improve the already high landing score.
