Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,434 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 413 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking to the runway at EFIV Ivalo Airport in Lapland, Finland. This took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 22, with a takeoff distance of 1,499 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 177 knots, and the local weather conditions were a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 19 knots at 230°.
Following the takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of the airport and reaching an altitude of 18,343 feet above sea level in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles, before starting another enroute climb from 7 miles northeast of Kittilae, Finland, reaching an altitude of 31,320 feet in 4 minutes and covering 27 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to alternate between level cruises and enroute climbs, with the longest level cruise lasting 165 minutes and covering 1,030 nautical miles. The aircraft also began its descent from 33,667 feet above sea level to 1,907 feet above sea level in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23R at EGCC Manchester Airport was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 232.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,664 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 415 meters and a touchdown speed of 141 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -252 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 135°. The aircraft landed on the runway, which was 2,434 meters long, and the total landing distance was 1,175 meters, which is 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 2,418 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 219 minutes. The aircraft used 10,208 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Manchester Airport's runway 23R, achieving a score of 99.0%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 232.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,664 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 2,434 meters.
The aircraft's final approach was characterized by a good threshold speed of 146 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 415 meters was also deemed good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and precision during the landing. The touchdown speed of 141 knots was within the acceptable range, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and control.
However, the touchdown rate of -252 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than desired. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 135°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was zero. These conditions likely contributed to the successful landing.
The total landing distance of 1,175 meters was 48% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and precision during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating the pilot's skill and expertise.
