Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 6.1 ft.
What happened: The flare began late at 6.1 ft, below the normal band.

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 2,582 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 322 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 27 at VABB Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 27, the aircraft accelerated over a distance of 1,512 m, representing 51 % of the runway, and lifted off at 168 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 32 °C, wind 5 kt from 250°, with a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead VAJJ Juhu Aerodrome, Mumbai, with the flight climbing from 979 ft asl to 33,009 ft asl - an altitude gain of 32,030 ft - in 23 minutes while covering 156 nm.
Cruise began 7 miles east of Malegaon, Maharashtra, and was maintained for 57 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 428 nm at level altitude.
Descent was initiated 3 miles west of Mataundh, Uttar Pradesh, descending from 32,995 ft asl to 1,676 ft asl - a loss of 31,320 ft - in 16 minutes and traversing 95 nm.
The final approach to runway 09 at VILK Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport was flown from the west on a heading of 89.0°, at 4 nm and 1,256 ft agl.
Landing on runway 09 was executed with a threshold speed of 148 kt, a touchdown distance of 323 m, and a touchdown speed of 145 kt. The aircraft experienced a hard touchdown rate of minus 424 fpm, but runway-touchdown alignment was perfect. Local weather at the time was a temperature of 28 °C, wind 2 kt from 260°, with no cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind component. The total landing roll measured 1,175 m, equivalent to 46 % of the runway length.
Rollout proceeded with perfect alignment, and the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 686 nm, required 104 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 4,593 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 completed the final approach to runway 09 at VILK Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport from the west on a heading of 89.0° at 4 NM and 1,256 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the aircraft enjoyed good threshold height and the threshold speed was well above target at 148 kt. The touchdown point was good at 323 m down the runway.
Touchdown occurred with a speed of 145 kt, described as fast, and a hard rate of descent of minus 424 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,175 m, representing 46 % of the 2,582 m runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.
With a final score of 97.3 %, the landing was excellent; focus on reducing the threshold and touchdown speeds toward their targets and refining the flare to soften the descent rate for continued high-performance performance.
