Slow the descent speed
See Enroute Descent
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 2,483 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 364 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 24R at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport. The takeoff distance was 867 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 30 knots from a direction of 250 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 30 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of Schoenefeld, Germany. The climb took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 20 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,137 feet above sea level to 25,338 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,201 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Strausberg, Germany. This phase lasted for 8 minutes and covered a distance of 60 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile south of Wilkowo, Poland. The descent took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 58 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 24,362 feet above sea level to 3,859 feet above sea level, a decrease of 20,503 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of Kornik, Poland. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile northwest of Kleszczewo, Poland. The descent took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 3,868 feet above sea level to 1,572 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,296 feet.
The final approach to runway 28 at EPPO Poznań-Ławica Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 288.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 28, which had a length of 2,483 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 365 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -314 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 22 knots from a direction of 250 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 17 knots. The total landing distance was 1,337 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 161 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes. The aircraft used 2,637 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EPPO Poznań-Ławica Airport, achieving a high score of 98.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 288.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 8°C, with a moderate wind speed of 22 knots blowing from 250°. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 17 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 133 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 365 meters was well within the acceptable range.
The touchdown rate of -314 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision. The total landing distance of 1,337 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
After touchdown, the aircraft maintained a very good rollout alignment, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's speed and direction during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and judgment.
