Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 146 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 148 kt against a VREF of 146 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 146 kt at the stabilisation gate.
See Arrival Approach
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 44 kt FAST on the reference speed of 146 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,298 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
Departing from Düsseldorf Airport (EDDL), the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 23L, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,475-meter stretch of the runway, which represented 62% of its total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 knots, overcoming the local headwind of 2 knots and a crosswind of 8 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Düsseldorf, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,125 feet above sea level to 33,008 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 197 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started approximately 1 mile northeast of Schillingsfurst, Germany, and lasted for 159 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,099 nautical miles. The cruise phase was punctuated by a descent, which began 9 miles south of Symi, Greece, and saw the aircraft descend from 33,023 feet to 1,284 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The final approach to Diagoras Airport (LGRP) was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading 250.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,251 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 24, a 3,297-meter stretch, with a touchdown distance of 438 meters, slightly above the target. The touchdown speed was 142 knots, a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -214 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also excellent. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,425 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 9,984 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted a total of 202 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 24 at LGRP Diagoras Airport with a threshold height that met the desired standards. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 148 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed. The touchdown distance of 438 m was within acceptable limits, demonstrating good control and precision during the landing phase.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 142 kt, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -214 fpm was fair. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained excellent control and centered the aircraft on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22 °C and a headwind of 15 kt, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,134 m, which accounted for 34% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and center the aircraft on the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was impressive, with a score of 98.9% reflecting the high level of precision and control demonstrated by the pilot.
