Slow down before tight turns
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,542 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,542 m of the 1,793 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 318 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 LTFM İstanbul Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 35R, with a takeoff distance of 1,679 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 178 knots.
As the aircraft departed, it encountered local weather conditions of 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 24 knots at 350 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 24 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile north west of LTFM İstanbul Airport Arnavutköy, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,340 feet above sea level to 32,724 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,383 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 132 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began approximately 1 mile north east of Smyadovo, Oblast Shumen, Bulgaria, and lasted for 120 minutes, covering a distance of 815 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb approximately 1 mile north west of Schmidgaden, Bavaria, Germany, where it climbed from 33,355 feet above sea level to 35,054 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,699 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed approximately 1 mile south west of Hahnbach, Bavaria, Germany, and lasted for 37 minutes, covering a distance of 251 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent overhead Kroeppelshagen-Fahrendorf, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, where it descended from 34,822 feet above sea level to 1,892 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,931 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again approximately 5 miles north west of Nordborg, Region Syddanmark, Denmark, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 14 at EKSB Sønderborg Airport took place from the north west, heading 139.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,167 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 14 at EKSB Sønderborg Airport, which had a length of 1,793 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 146 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 321 meters, while the touchdown speed was a little fast at 143 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -258 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 190 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,465 meters, which accounted for 82% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,334 nautical miles, taking a total of 213 minutes, and the aircraft used 9,851 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at EKSB Sønderborg Airport, achieving a score of 94.5%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 139.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,167 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 14, which has a length of 1,793 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 146 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 321 meters, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent.
The touchdown speed of 143 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -258 feet per minute (fpm). Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots from 190°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,465 meters, which is 82% of the runway length. This suggests that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centreline, indicating that the aircraft may have deviated slightly from the intended path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown distance and alignment. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and rollout alignment, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
