Be on speed by the gate
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.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 35 kt FAST on the reference speed of 136 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,187 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 257 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Manchester Airport's runway 23R, the Airbus A321 began its journey with a taxiing period of 8 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. As the aircraft lifted off, it accelerated to a liftoff speed of 149 knots, utilizing 57% of the 1,382-meter runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a gentle headwind of 2 knots and a crosswind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it began its ascent from 1,240 feet above sea level, reaching a maximum altitude of 37,009 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 150 nautical miles. The climb phase was initiated approximately 1 mile northeast of Mobberley, Cheshire East, England. Following a 25-minute cruise at level altitude, the aircraft began its descent from 37,017 feet above sea level, reducing its altitude to 1,523 feet in 19 minutes, covering 105 nautical miles. The descent phase was initiated approximately 1 mile east of Hardenberg, Provincie Overijssel, The Netherlands.
The final approach to runway 09L at Hannover Airport was executed from the west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 92.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,339 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 127 knots and a touchdown distance of 247 meters, utilizing 39% of the 3,189-meter runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius, with a calm wind of 2 knots. Following a taxiing period of 3 minutes, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 463 nautical miles, utilizing 3,709 kilograms of fuel and taking a total of 78 minutes.
The aircraft, an Airbus A321, successfully executed a precise final approach to runway 09L at EDDV Hannover Airport from the west, aligning with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,339 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a heading of 92.0° and a steady descent towards the runway. The threshold height was good, allowing the aircraft to touch down at the optimal point.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the threshold speed of 134 knots was well within the acceptable range, and the touchdown distance of 247 meters was also satisfactory. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the touchdown rate of -234 feet per minute was fair, suggesting a slight deviation from the ideal rate. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway.
The aircraft's rollout was equally impressive, with perfect alignment along the centerline. The total landing distance of 1,249 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was scored 99.2%, reflecting the high level of precision and control demonstrated by the crew. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 2 knots, contributed to a stable and predictable environment for the landing.
