The threshold speed of 134 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the touchdown speed of 127 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -320 fpm.

The aircraft landed 151 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, was still within a reasonable distance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the slight crosswind component of 5 kt. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17 °C and a wind speed of 6 kt at 150 °, were relatively calm, contributing to a smooth landing.

The Airbus A320's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment, with the aircraft staying on course throughout the rollout phase. The total landing distance of 1,211 m, which accounted for 37% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 96.6% reflecting the minor deviations from optimal performance.
