Arrival
Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 0.5 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.
What happened: The flare pitch reached 2.3°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 397 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 0.5 ft.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 2,109 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,109 m of the 3,987 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 365 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LTFM İstanbul Airport, which took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 35L, and the takeoff distance was 1,449 meters, which is 36% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 30°C, with a wind speed of 31 knots at a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind of 24 knots and a headwind of 19 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 2 miles northwest of LTFM İstanbul Airport, Arnavutköy, and ascended from an altitude of 1,350 feet above sea level to 37,297 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,947 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 152 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles north of Tvarditsa, Oblast Sliven, Bulgaria, and lasted for 67 minutes, covering a distance of 527 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent overhead Maria Lankowitz, Steiermark, Austria, and descended from an altitude of 37,022 feet above sea level to 2,758 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,264 feet, in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 149 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport was made from the east, heading 263.0°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 26L, which has a length of 3,987 meters. The threshold height was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 134 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 367 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 131 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -497 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 323°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 2,031 meters, which is 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 838 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 128 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6,193 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a score of 94.7%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold speed of 134 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
However, there were a few areas where the landing could be improved. The threshold height at 61 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high on its approach. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was a little fast, which could have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -497 feet per minute (fpm). A touchdown speed of around 120-125 knots is generally considered optimal for a safe and controlled landing.
Despite these minor issues, the aircraft's touchdown distance of 367 meters was good, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 323°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the headwind component was 1 knot, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach.
The total landing distance of 2,031 meters was 51% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop safely within the designated runway area.
