Hold the approach angle
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.
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 1,627 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,627 m of the 2,043 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 398 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A321 then departed from runway 07L at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,170 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 11°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 80°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile southwest of Bohnsdorf, Germany, and the aircraft ascended from 1,194 feet above sea level to 36,136 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,942 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 2 miles south of Hriskov, Czech Republic, and lasted for 61 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 451 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase started 4 miles northeast of Roseto degli Abruzzi, Italy, and the aircraft descended from 36,405 feet above sea level to 12,888 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,517 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 73 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Conca Casale, Italy, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 1 mile northeast of Roccamonfina, Italy, and the aircraft descended from 12,595 feet above sea level to 1,901 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,694 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 06 at LIRN Naples International Airport, coming in from the southwest at a heading of 56.0°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and 1,585 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 06, which had a length of 2,043 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 138 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 401 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -495 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 350°. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,548 meters, which accounted for 76% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 699 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 121 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,790 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at LIRN Naples International Airport, achieving a score of 95.5%. The final approach to runway 06 was conducted from the southwest, heading 56.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,585 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 138 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's landing distance was within acceptable limits, measuring 401 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking force upon touchdown. The touchdown rate of -495 feet per minute (fpm) was also considered hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a significant deceleration upon touchdown.
Despite these minor issues, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 350°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,548 meters was 76% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good handling characteristics.
