below 200 ft RA and on of the following occurs:

DECISION HEIGHT
DH is the wheel height above the runway elevation by which a goaround must be initiated unless adequate visual reference has been
established and the aircraft position and approach path have been
assessed as satisfactory to continue the approach and land in safety.
LAND MODE
Engages automatically when acft reaches 400 RA (350 RA latest)
during approach only when LOC and G/S modes are engaged.
The FMA displays LAND indicating that LOC and G/S are locked.
LAND mode arms FLARE and ROLLOUT (not annunciated on
FMA).
SPEED
ALERT HEIGHT
AH is the height above the runway, based on the characteristics of the
airplane and its fail operational system, above which, for a CAT III
approach a go around must be initiated if a failure occurs in one of the
redundant parts of the automatic landing system, or in the relevant
ground equipment - AUTOLAND light triggered.
For A320 the Alert Height is 100 ft RA

If AP is disengaged during flare before touchdown SPEED mode replaces RETARD mode manually reduce thrust.
Note:
In autoland the system generates RETARD callout at 10 ft RA in order to prompt pilot to
move thrust levers to idle in order to confirm thrust reduction.
PNF: ROLLOUT/NO ROLLOUT
In manual landing the system generates RETARD callout only as a remainder.
ROLL OUT MODE
At touchdown ROLL OUT mode engages and guides the aircraft along runway centerline.
The FMA displays ROLL OUT in green. The PFD displays the YAW BAR and no FD bars.
