Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 143 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 152 kt against a target of 143 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 143 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 6,855 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,855 ft of the 11,007 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,314 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300ER taxied from the parking area to runway 33L at Kuwait International Airport (OKKK) for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 33L, the aircraft accelerated over 7,068 ft, representing 64 % of the available runway, and rotated at 164 kt. Ambient conditions were 97 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 216°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt tail-wind component.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile south of Al Farwaniyah, rising from 1,151 ft asl to 36,455 ft asl - a gain of 35,304 ft - in 17 minutes while covering 123 nm.
Level cruise began about 14 miles west of OIBQ Khark Airport and continued for 139 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 1,243 nm.
Descent was initiated roughly 2 miles north of Arifwala, descending from 36,999 ft asl to 1,979 ft asl - a loss of 35,020 ft - in 20 minutes and traversing 120 nm.
The final approach to runway 18L at Allama Iqbal International Airport (OPLA) reduced altitude from 1,304 ft agl to 111 ft agl in 91 seconds, and the aircraft was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 18L, which is 11,007 ft long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 152 kt (slightly above target). Touchdown occurred 932 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 141 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 156 fpm and perfect runway-centerline alignment. Local weather reported a temperature of 75 °F, wind 4 kt from 130°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 6,574 ft, representing 60 % of the runway, and alignment remained perfect throughout the ground run.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area for 2 minutes, traveling less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,496 nm, taking 191, and consumed 51,881 lbs of fuel.
