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 610 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
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 1,692 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,692 m of the 2,070 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 610 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 12 at LEBB Bilbao Airport in 6 minutes, covering 1 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 12 with a distance of 1,865 m, which was 72 % of the runway length. Rotation occurred at 146 kt. Local weather at departure was 21 °C, wind 7 kt from 259°, with a 4 kt crosswind and a 5 kt tailwind component.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 18 seconds, averaging 2,285 fpm and reaching 162 kt at the top of the climb.
The climb continued from 1,053 ft asl to 34,004 ft asl in 18 minutes, covering 120 nm and beginning overhead Zamudio.
Cruise level was held at 34,000 ft asl for 40 minutes, covering 321 nm, starting 59 miles west of Lacanau.
Descent began at 33,488 ft asl and proceeded to 2,104 ft asl in 22 minutes, covering 123 nm, starting 24 miles south-east of Ventnor.
Final approach to runway 25 at EGGW London Luton Airport started from 1,621 ft agl and descended to 68 ft agl in 104 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration on final was landing gear down at 2,007 ft agl with 184 kt, and final flap position 5 at 1,634 ft agl with 156 kt.
Landing on runway 25 was on a runway 2,070 m long with a good threshold height. Threshold speed was 140 kt. The flare was described as excellent; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 187 m beyond the touchdown zone at 128 kt, with a fair rate of -233 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned, 6.0 m off the centreline. No bounce was observed.
Total landing distance was 1,603 m, which is 77 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather at landing was 10 °C, wind 3 kt from 190°, with a 3 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind component.
Taxi from the runway to the parking area took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
The flight covered 572 nm in 92 minutes and used 3,612 kg of fuel.
