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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,639 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,639 m of the 2,693 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 550 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EDDW Bremen Airport, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Departure roll took place on runway 27, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,120 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 19°C temperature and a wind speed of 23 knots at 220 degrees. The crosswind was 17 knots, while the headwind was 15 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Stuhr, Lower Saxony, Germany, and continued to an altitude of 22,259 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,261 feet in 10 minutes and covering a distance of 56 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Laatzen, Lower Saxony, Germany, and lasted for 13 minutes, covering a distance of 84 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Dankmarshausen, Thuringia, Germany, and descending from 22,825 feet to 6,301 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,524 feet in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 96 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to alternate between level cruise and descent phases, with the next level cruise starting overhead Neuhaus an der Pegnitz, Bavaria, Germany, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The subsequent descent started 1 mile east of Etzelwang, Bavaria, Germany, and descended from 5,953 feet to 4,012 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,941 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile south east of Happurg, Bavaria, Germany, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final descent started 1 mile west of Engelthal, Bavaria, Germany, and descended from 4,018 feet to 2,346 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,672 feet in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at EDDN Nuremberg Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 279.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,290 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 28, which had a length of 2,693 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 146 knots.
The touchdown point was 133 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 140 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -305 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline. Local weather conditions at the time of landing were 21°C temperature and a wind speed of 15 knots at 260 degrees, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 14 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,557 meters, which was 58% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 267 nautical miles, and the flight used 2,985 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Nuremberg Airport (EDDN) with a score of 97.1%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 279.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,290 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 28, which has a length of 2,693 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was above the target at 146 knots. This indicates that the aircraft may have been slightly too fast during the approach. The touchdown point was 133 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the aircraft may have been slightly long on the landing. The touchdown speed of 140 knots was also a little fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -305 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the landing roll. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were a temperature of 21°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots at 260°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 14 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,557 meters, which is 58% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing roll and bring it to a stop in a straight line.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were a few areas for improvement, including the threshold speed, touchdown speed, and slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position. However, the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft and bring it to a stop in a short distance was impressive.
