Arrival
Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 4.6 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.
What happened: The flare pitch reached 3.2°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 334 fpm. Over-rotating the flare like this usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal landing attitude once sink is arrested at 4.6 ft.
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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 2,783 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 527 m past the threshold — beyond 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 Munich Airport, taking 13 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 26R, with a takeoff distance of 1,152 meters, which was 29% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 145 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Munich Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 4°C temperature and a wind of 5 knots at 322 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 2,495 feet above sea level to 21,213 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,717 feet in 8 minutes and covering 33 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles south of Thalmassing, lasting 2 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 3 miles east of Donaustauf, ascending from 21,991 feet above sea level to 35,451 feet above sea level, an increase of 13,461 feet in 11 minutes and covering 75 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile northwest of Kozlany Airport, lasting 29 minutes and covering 214 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 1 mile southwest of Miescisko, descending from 35,569 feet above sea level to 1,851 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,718 feet in 23 minutes and covering 108 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 11 at Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport was from the west, with the aircraft heading 113.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,370 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft performed a go-around at 0 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 11, with a runway length of 2,783 meters. The threshold height was above target at 68 feet above ground level, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 137 knots.
The touchdown point was 180 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -334 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were 2°C temperature and a wind of 11 knots at 40 degrees. The crosswind was 10 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,427 meters, which was 51% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The aircraft then taxiied to the parking from the runway, taking 5 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 458 nautical miles, taking 107 minutes and using 4,647 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at EPGD Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport, achieving a score of 94.1%. The final approach to runway 11 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 113.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,370 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on the designated runway 11, which has a length of 2,783 meters.
The threshold height was reported to be good, with the aircraft maintaining a suitable altitude before touching down. The threshold speed was also within the target range, at 132 knots. However, the threshold height at 68 feet agl was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 137 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 126 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was firm, at -334 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 40°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,427 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway length.
The runway rollout alignment was also reported to be very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the landing process.
