Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 203 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 2,709 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 413 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 33, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 1,563 meters, or 49% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 164 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 28°C, with a gentle headwind of 10 knots at 330°.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it traversed a distance of 148 nautical miles in 24 minutes, ascending from 1,005 feet above sea level to 38,010 feet. The climb phase was followed by a 29-minute level cruise, during which the aircraft covered 195 nautical miles, approximately 2 miles southwest of Kibaek, Denmark. The crew then initiated a descent from 38,011 feet to 18,008 feet, a decrease of 20,003 feet, in 10 minutes, covering 62 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to descend, eventually reaching an altitude of 1,491 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 15,854 feet, in 10 minutes, covering 38 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 17 at Bergen Airport, Flesland, was initiated from the north, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 171.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,321 feet above ground level.
The Airbus A321 landed on runway 17, utilizing 55% of the 2,441-meter runway, with a touchdown distance of 412 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 137 knots, while the touchdown rate was hard at -402 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. Following a taxiing period of 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft arrived at the parking area. The total flight distance was 459 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 82 minutes, and the aircraft utilized 3,980 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The final approach to runway 17 at ENBR Bergen Airport, Flesland, was conducted from the north, aligning with the heading of 171.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,321 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, reaching 137 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a touchdown distance of 412 meters, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 131 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was hard at -402 feet per minute. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 10°C and a headwind of 7 knots, contributed to a smooth touchdown.
The rollout phase was characterized by perfect alignment with the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,345 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 98.1%. The slight deviations in threshold speed and touchdown speed were minor and did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
