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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,790 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 476 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport, taking 13 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 29, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,446 meters, which was 52% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 4°C and winds of 19 knots at 219 degrees. The crosswind was 18 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Rebiechowo, a town in the Pomeranian Voivodeship of Poland, and continued for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 91 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,491 feet above sea level to 34,735 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,244 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 3 miles north of Rabino, a town in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship of Poland. This phase of the flight lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 102 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Lindenberg, a town in the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania region of Germany. The descent from 35,120 feet above sea level to 10,507 feet above sea level took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 64 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting overhead Upahl, a town in the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania region of Germany. This phase of the flight lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 21 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile east of Gross Schenkenberg, a town in the Schleswig-Holstein region of Germany. The descent from 9,757 feet above sea level to 1,339 feet above sea level took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 20 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport took place from the north-east, with the aircraft heading at 230.0 degrees and being 4 nautical miles away from the runway. The landing took place on runway 23, which was 2,790 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 136 knots. The touchdown point was 65 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 127 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -147 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 6°C and winds of 13 knots at 260 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 12 knots. The total landing distance was 1,370 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 308 nautical miles, taking a total of 75 minutes and using 3,284 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH) on runway 23, achieving a score of 99.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 230.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 136 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 65 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 127 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -147 feet per minute (fpm). However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, deviating 3.7 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 260°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's descent and landing.
The total landing distance was 1,370 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and adherence to standard procedures.
