The A330 will print a Post Flight Report obviously at the end of the flight.
One endeavours to avoid a Load 15 report but the following info comes from my OM Part A:

There are several categories of hard landing and this will dictate the level of post flight inspection required.

The criteria and parameters for aircraft type are as follows.
1. A hard landing is a landing with an aircraft weight less than the Maximum Landing Weight (MLW) and:-
• a vertical acceleration (Vert G) equal to or more than 2.6g and less than 2.86g at aircraft Centre of Gravity (CG) or,
• a vertical speed (Vs) equal to or more than 10 ft/sec and less than 14 ft/sec.


2. A severe hard landing is a landing with an aircraft weight less than the Maximum Landing Weight (MLW) and :-
• a vertical acceleration (Vert G) equal to or more than 2.86g at aircraft Centre of Gravity (CG) or,
• a vertical speed (Vs) equal to or more than 14 ft/sec.
