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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,337 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 477 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at London Heathrow Airport, taking approximately 6 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 27L, with the takeoff distance covering 36% of the runway's length at 1,213 meters. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 163 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 19°C temperature and a wind speed of 24 knots at 230 degrees. The crosswind was 15 knots, while the headwind was 19 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of Harmondsworth, Greater London, England, and reached an altitude of 37,949 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,846 feet in 22 minutes, covering 150 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 29 miles west of Ter Heijde, Provincie Zuid-Holland, The Netherlands, and lasted for 13 minutes, covering 109 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 2 miles east of EHDS Lemelerveld Glidersite Lemelerveld, Provincie Overijssel, The Netherlands, and descended from 38,475 feet to 2,950 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,525 feet in 19 minutes, covering 135 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, this time starting 1 mile south east of Adelheidsdorf, Lower Saxony, Germany, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The final descent began overhead Burgdorf, Lower Saxony, Germany, and the aircraft descended from 2,963 feet to 1,493 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,470 feet in 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27L at EDDV Hannover Airport was from the east, with the aircraft heading 274.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,313 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, with the threshold speed being slightly above the target at 135 knots. The touchdown point was 69 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -279 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 230 degrees, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,201 meters, covering 51% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 5 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 414 nautical miles, taking 71 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,490 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDV Hannover Airport, achieving a high score of 99.3%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 274.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,313 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 27L, which has a length of 2,337 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, 69 meters past the designated area. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to make adjustments to reduce the speed before touchdown. The touchdown rate of -279 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing without excessive deceleration.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a gentle wind of 7 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was minimal at 5 knots, while the headwind component was also 5 knots, resulting in a negligible effect on the aircraft's approach and landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The total landing distance of 1,201 meters was 51% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and had successfully brought it to a stop without any deviations from the centerline. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and landing phases.
