Was A3 3162 part of a connecting flight? How is compensation calculated?
Your booking shows this, not the flight number. If A33162 was part of a connecting journey on one booking, distance is counted from the first departure airport to the final destination, and the delay is counted on arrival at the final destination. The distance band (short-, medium- or long-haul) follows that distance and may then differ from this leg (€250 per passenger (EU261)).
