Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 62 m past the target, landing at 519 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,092 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 519 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 35 at ESMS Malmö Sturup Airport, a movement that lasted 8 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 35, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 154 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,209 m, which represented 43 % of the runway length; ambient conditions were 17 °C with a wind of 15 kt from 300°, a cross-wind component of 12 kt and a head-wind component of 9 kt.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile north of the airport, with the airplane rising from 1,222 ft asl to 24,010 ft asl, an altitude gain of 22,787 ft achieved in 8 minutes while covering 43 nm.
The level-cruise segment began 18 miles south of Smygehamn and persisted for 12 minutes, during which the flight covered 79 nm.
Descent was initiated over Steffenshagen in Germany, descending from 23,988 ft asl to 1,387 ft asl, a loss of 22,601 ft accomplished in 14 minutes and spanning 68 nm.
On final approach to runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,383 ft agl to 57 ft agl in 118 seconds and met the stabilisation gate criteria.
Landing on runway 23 was executed with a threshold speed of 123 kt; touchdown occurred 97 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 116 kt and a vertical rate of minus 160 fpm, with runway alignment described as very good. Local weather at the time was 17 °C, wind 8 kt from 280°, cross-wind 6 kt and head-wind 5 kt. The total landing roll measured 1,219 m, equivalent to 39 % of the runway length.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, and the aircraft subsequently taxied from the runway to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 199 nm, required 48 minutes from departure to arrival, and consumed 1,684 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield was conducted with a descent from 454 ft agl to 30 ft agl in 45 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates. Local weather was 20 °C with wind 2 kt from 083°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 72 kt.
Touchdown occurred 281 m down the runway at a speed of 61 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 57 fpm and a lateral deviation of 5.3 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total distance of 710 m, representing 55 % of the 1 293 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
Fine-tune the approach speed to meet the target value and make small adjustments to maintain centreline alignment within a tighter tolerance; the overall performance was strong with a score of 87.2 %.
