Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 102 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 303 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.

Side view — the last 2,011 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,011 m of the 2,395 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 473 m touchdown sits inside 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 EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 22R, with a takeoff distance of 1,536 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20°C, a wind speed of 4 knots at 189°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb 2 miles south of Tarnby, Denmark, and continued to ascend from an initial altitude of 1,071 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 36,744 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,673 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 149 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started overhead Ellerbek, Germany, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 41 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent 2 miles northwest of Ottersberg, Germany, and descended from 36,759 feet above sea level to 4,044 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,715 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 132 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 2 miles southeast of Duisburg, Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent 2 miles east of Krefeld, Germany, and descended from 4,048 feet above sea level to 3,077 feet above sea level, a decrease of 971 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north of EDLN Mönchengladbach Airport, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent overhead Korschenbroich, Germany, and descended from 3,032 feet above sea level to 1,403 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,629 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 05R at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport, flying from the southwest at a heading of 53.0°, at an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level, and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft landed on runway 05R at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport, with a runway length of 2,395 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 140 knots. The touchdown point was 56 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -313 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 18°C, a wind speed of 7 knots at 60°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,930 meters, which accounted for 81% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 356 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 73 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -2,679 kilograms of fuel during the
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport, achieving a score of 96.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 53.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 05R, which has a length of 2,395 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, 56 meters past the designated area. The touchdown speed was recorded at 134 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was firm, measuring -313 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill in aligning the aircraft with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a gentle wind of 7 knots at 60°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance was 1,930 meters, accounting for 81% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for a safe stop.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the runway, demonstrating the pilot's expertise in controlling the aircraft's speed and direction. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance.
