Sorry for the explanations which are quite hard to read, here is a little recap: - RA "2500" indicates the Radio Altimeter has come active and is calling out the height of the aircraft above the ground level. - "PF (or Pilot Flying) Gear Down" Pilot Flying announces "Gear Down", PM (or Pilot Monitoring) will deploy the gear by pulling the gear lever to the down position, arm the speedbrakes, activate RWY turn off lights & nose lights on T/O, and push the speed knob onto auto - RA "1000" indicates 1000 feet above the ground, to acknowledge, PF verifies PFD (Primary Flight Display) and announces "Checked" - RA "500" indicates 500 feet above the ground - RA "100 above" alerts the pilots the aircraft is 100 feet above the set minimums - RA "Minimum" is the "landing decision moment" where the Pilot Flying decides whether it is safe to land (where he will announce "Continue") or not (in that case "Go Around") - RA "50.. 40.. 30.. 20.. Retard x3" Same as usual. The callout "Retard" indicates to put to thrust levers to the IDLE position to stop the production of thrust and avoid floating and potentially going around for missed approach. - Touchdown - Following touchdown PM checks the instruments and announces "Spoilers, BTV, Reversers green, Decel": Spoilers (check on Lower ECAM that spoilers are up), BTV (Check that the brakes are active in green and indicating "Decel"), Reversers green (check on upper ECAM that REV are active and in green), Decel (check of the PFD that the aircraft is slowing down).

Beautiful landing in the most beautiful island.
Nice! That was the flight from Paris ORY?
Affirm it was :)
Hi, did you secure a job with the airlines?
Hi, yes indeed
