Slow the descent 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 2,182 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,182 m of the 2,795 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 438 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 30 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 24 at Václav Havel Airport Prague, with a takeoff distance of 1,936 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 173 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 1°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 130 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the tailwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Dobroviz, a town in the Stredocesky kraj region of the Czech Republic, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 2,240 feet above sea level to 27,214 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,973 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 77 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then began overhead As, a town in the Karlovarsky kraj region of the Czech Republic, and lasted for 111 minutes, covering a distance of 100 nautical miles. The descent started 1 mile north of Neuhof, a town in the Hessen region of Germany, where the aircraft descended from 27,244 feet above sea level to 2,167 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,076 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 46 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25R at Frankfurt Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 281.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,803 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 25R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 437 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 140 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -327 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 0°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 200 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 2,063 meters, which accounted for 74% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 235 nautical miles, taking 70 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,128 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) on runway 25R, achieving a score of 97.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 281.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,803 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 2,795 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 148 kn, registering at 149 kn. The touchdown distance of 437 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 140 kn was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was firm, measuring -327 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly steeper descent than intended.
The aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.2 meters, which may require some adjustments to the landing technique. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0°C, with a wind speed of 2 kn from 200°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kn, while the headwind component was also 1 kn.
The total landing distance of 2,063 meters was 74% of the runway length, which is a relatively efficient use of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a stable and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was executed well, with only minor deviations from the ideal performance.
