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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 753 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight on the Airbus A321 began with a smooth taxi from the parking area to the runway at LEBL El Prat, taking 10 minutes to cover a distance of 3 nm. The departure roll on runway 24R was swift, with the aircraft taking off after a distance of 1,116 m, which was 38% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 kn, and the local weather conditions at the time included a temperature of 19 °C and a 7 kn wind at 30°, with a crosswind of 4 kn and a tailwind of 6 kn.
The enroute climb commenced over LEBL El Prat in Barcelona, Spain, with the aircraft ascending from 1,053 ft asl to 35,981 ft asl, covering a total distance of 105 nm in 20 minutes. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase 1 mile east of Lacourt in Occitanie, France, maintaining this altitude for 131 minutes and covering 456 nm.
The descent began 30 miles southeast of Stokenham in Devon, England, with the aircraft descending from 35,960 ft asl to 2,121 ft asl over a period of 19 minutes, covering a distance of 92 nm. The landing took place on runway 12 at EGFF Cardiff, with the aircraft touching down 756 m from the threshold at a speed of 125 kn. The touchdown speed was 125 kn, and the VSI was -54 ft/m. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 17 °C and a 15 kn wind at 170°, with a crosswind of 12 kn and a headwind of 9 kn. The total landing distance was 1,366 m, accounting for 69% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in just 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance covered was 664 nm, with the flight lasting 193 minutes and consuming 5,296 kg of fuel.
Great job on your aircraft landing with a score of 95.3%! You should feel proud of your performance during each phase of the landing process.
During the Approach Phase, you displayed excellent glideslope alignment, which is crucial for ensuring a smooth descent towards the runway. This helps in maintaining the correct altitude and positioning for a successful landing. Your attention to detail during this phase paid off in achieving a high score.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you demonstrated good threshold height and fair landing flare. These aspects are key in ensuring a safe and controlled touchdown on the runway. A proper flare helps in reducing the rate of descent and allows for a smoother touchdown. Keep up the good work in maintaining these skills in future landings.
In the Touchdown Phase, you executed a perfect touchdown rate with the speed on target. This shows your ability to control the aircraft effectively during the critical moment of landing. Although the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated zone, your accuracy in touchdown position and handling of the 12 kn crosswind were commendable.
Finally, during the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was slightly off at 6.3 m from the centreline. Paying attention to small details like this can further enhance your overall performance and score in future landings.
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 95.3% reflects your skill and proficiency in handling the landing process. Keep up the great work and continue to focus on refining your techniques to achieve even higher scores. Your dedication to improving your skills will undoubtedly lead to even better performances in the future. Well done!
