Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 128 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 141 kt, 13 kt above 128 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 128 kt at the threshold.
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 23 kt FAST on the reference speed of 128 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 2,593 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 665 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo departed runway 12L at LFMT Montpellier-Méditerranée, using a take-off distance of 1,988 m (77 % of runway). Rotation occurred at 135 kt. Local weather was 19 °C with wind 26 kt from 099°, giving a crosswind component of 11 kt and a headwind component of 24 kt.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 20 seconds, averaging 2,420 fpm and reaching 203 kt at the top. The climb continued from 980 ft asl to 2,964 ft asl in 1 minute, covering 2 nm and beginning 1 mile east of Perols. Level flight was held at 3,000 ft asl for 6 minutes, covering 22 nm and starting 2 miles south-west of La Grande-Motte. Descent from 2,726 ft asl to 1,600 ft asl took 2 minutes over 4 nm, beginning overhead Grabels.
On final approach to runway 12L at LFMT, descent from 1,655 ft agl to 76 ft agl was completed in 117 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and wings level; the speed check was not met at one gate. Configuration on final was flap 5 at 2,421 ft agl with a speed of 165 kt.
Landing occurred on runway 12L (runway length 2,593 m). The threshold height at 59 ft agl was slightly above target and the threshold speed was well above target at 142 kt. The flare was described as great, with the pitch being pumped up and down. Touchdown was 236 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 125 kt, a little fast, and with a very hard rate of minus 533 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.4 m from the centreline. Local weather was 17 °C with wind 18 kt from 100°, giving a crosswind of 8 kt and a headwind of 17 kt. No bounce occurred.
Total landing distance was 1,267 m (49 % of runway) and runway rollout alignment was very good. Taxiing from the runway to parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered 35 nm in 16 minutes and used 546 kg of fuel.
