Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 189 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,532 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,532 m of the 2,544 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 404 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Venice Marco Polo Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 04R, the crew initiated the departure roll, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 161 knots, having covered a takeoff distance of 1,770 meters, which represented 53% of the available runway length.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile northeast of the airport. The crew successfully navigated the aircraft through a series of climbs, reaching a maximum altitude of 29,415 feet above sea level. The climb phase was completed in 16 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 98 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 50 nautical miles. The crew then initiated the enroute descent, which began approximately 5 miles east of Mittenwald, Germany. The descent phase was completed in 14 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 81 nautical miles and descended from 30,010 feet to 2,753 feet above sea level.
As the aircraft approached Salzburg Airport, the crew initiated the final approach to runway 15, aligning the aircraft with the runway from the northwest. The landing was completed at a speed of 134 knots, with a touchdown distance of 413 meters, which represented 63% of the available runway length. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the crew successfully brought the aircraft to a stop, having used a total of 1,461 meters of runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 238 nautical miles, and the aircraft used a total of 2,447 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted for 47 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 15 at LOWS Salzburg Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The final approach was initiated from the north west, heading 157.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,318 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 135 kt, registering 140 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 413 meters was within the expected range, indicating a good landing performance. The touchdown speed of 134 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -255 feet per minute was fair, suggesting a controlled deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway's centerline.
The rollout phase was characterized by excellent control, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment. The total landing distance of 1,461 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The landing performance was evaluated as 99.6%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12°C and a headwind of 5 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable landing environment.
