Slow down before tight turns
See Arrival Taxi
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Düsseldorf Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 23L, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 156 knots after covering 41% of the runway's length.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 21°C temperature and a wind speed of 18 knots at 239°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind was a significant 18 knots. The enroute climb began overhead Düsseldorf Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,152 feet above sea level to 36,520 feet, a vertical increase of 35,368 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 140 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Hellwege in Lower Saxony, Germany. This phase lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 107 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 9 miles southeast of Fehmarn in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The descent from 36,414 feet to 2,962 feet took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 1 mile east of Bjaerred in Skane County, Sweden. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final descent began 2 miles southwest of Barsebaeckshamn in Skane County, Sweden, with the aircraft descending from 2,785 feet to 1,294 feet in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22L at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport took place from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 221.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 22L, which was 3,299 meters long, was successful, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 131 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 372 meters, although the touchdown speed of 126 knots was slightly faster than desired.
The touchdown rate was fair at -213 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 19 knots at 240°, with a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 18 knots. The total landing distance was 1,056 meters, which was 32% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The final leg of the flight involved taxiing to the parking area from the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 366 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 66 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,148 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 22L at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, achieving a high score of 98.8%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, heading 221.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 131 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 372 meters, which is within the expected range. However, the touchdown speed of 126 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, indicating that the aircraft may have touched down with a bit more energy than necessary. The touchdown rate of -213 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not perfectly controlled.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 19 knots at 240°, presented a moderate headwind component of 18 knots and a crosswind component of 6 knots. The aircraft's performance was not significantly affected by the wind conditions.
The total landing distance of 1,056 meters, which accounts for 32% of the runway length, was within the expected range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a high score of 98.8%.
