Flight Score
Retract gear by 400 feet
Next time
Hold the nose until reaching 157 kt, letting speed build fully before rotating.
What happened: Rotation began at 149 kt, 8 kt before the 157 kt target. Climb speed later settled slow of target in Climb 3.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the 157 kt rotation target.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, rather than letting it stop or relax.
What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it at 268 fpm, and the touchdown followed long at 540 m against a 457 m target. Sink returning late in the flare usually carries the touchdown long.
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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 305 m and 152 m above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 305 m gate: speed 5 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 141 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,744 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 540 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The 2.21 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport (LGIR) was the point of departure, where the Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 27 in five minutes, covering less than one nautical mile. The take-off roll consumed 2,488 m of runway, representing 92 % of the available length, and the aircraft lifted off at 149 kt. Ambient temperature was 30 °C with a wind of 9 kt from 295°, including a 3 kt crosswind component and an 8 kt headwind.
The flight then progressed northward across the Aegean, beginning a climb over Nea Alikarnassos that rose from 305 m to 9,752 m above sea level-a gain of 9,446.5 m in 17 minutes while covering 99 nm. A subsequent climb segment south-west of Serifos increased altitude from 9,754 m to 10,874 m, adding 1,120.2 m in three minutes over 23 nm, after which a level cruise segment north-west of Plaka lasted two minutes and spanned 11 nm. The longest cruise phase commenced south of Legrena, extending for 105 minutes and covering 684 nm, before a descent that began north-east of Ratsch an der Weinstrasse dropped the aircraft from 10,975 m to 669 m-a loss of 10,305.7 m in 22 minutes across 122 nm.
Linz-Hörsching Airport (LOWL) received the aircraft for final approach to runway 08, aligning from the west on a heading of 87.0° at four nautical miles and 371.1 m above ground level. The threshold speed was recorded at 134 kt, and touchdown occurred 121 m beyond the designated zone at 129 kt with a firm touchdown rate of minus 1.8 m/s; the touchdown point was offset 8.6 m from the centreline. The aircraft rolled out over 1,150 m of runway, equal to 42 % of its length, and the rollout alignment was off by 8.7 m. After a three-minute taxi back to the parking area, the flight logged a total distance of 948 nm, a duration of 158 minutes, and fuel consumption of 6,893 kg.
The final approach to runway 08 at LOWL Linz-Hörsching Airport / Vogler Air Base was conducted from the west on a heading of 87.0° at a distance of 4 nm and an altitude of 371.1 m AGL. Local weather reported a temperature of 25 °C with wind from 53° at 3 kt, providing a 2 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt headwind component. The threshold height was recorded as good and the threshold speed was good at 134 kt, contributing to an overall landing score of 93.3%.
Landing on runway 08, which measures 2,744 m, the aircraft touched down 121 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 129 kt described as good. The touchdown rate was firm at minus 1.8 m/s and the touchdown point was misaligned by 8.6 m from the centreline. The total landing distance used was 1,150 m, representing 42 % of the runway length, and the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.7 m from the centreline.
