Reduce your height at the threshold
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 504 m past the threshold — beyond 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 Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 29, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 150 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots coming from a direction of 269°.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb, starting overhead the town of Rebiechowo in the Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland. The climb took 17 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,492 feet above sea level to 33,070 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,578 feet. The aircraft covered a distance of 97 nautical miles during this phase of the flight.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile north of the town of Pokrzywnica in the Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland. This phase of the flight lasted for 32 minutes, during which the aircraft maintained a constant altitude and covered a distance of 233 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile west of the town of Horni Bela in the Plzensky kraj region of the Czech Republic. The descent took 16 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 33,836 feet above sea level to 11,624 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,212 feet. The aircraft covered a distance of 89 nautical miles during this phase of the flight.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead the town of Adlkofen in the state of Bavaria, Germany. This phase of the flight lasted for 5 minutes, during which the aircraft maintained a constant altitude and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its descent, it began a new phase of descent, starting overhead the town of Pfeffenhausen in the state of Bavaria, Germany. The descent took 7 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 11,264 feet above sea level to 5,018 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,246 feet. The aircraft covered a distance of 20 nautical miles during this phase of the flight.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile south of the town of Paunzhausen in the state of Bavaria, Germany. This phase of the flight lasted for 7 minutes, during which the aircraft maintained a constant altitude and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached the final approach phase, it began its descent, starting 1 mile west of the town of Rohrmoos in the state of Bavaria, Germany. The descent took 3 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 5,019 feet above sea level to 2,818 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,201 feet. The aircraft covered a distance of 11 nautical miles during this phase of the flight.
The final approach to runway 08L at Munich Airport took place from the west, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 83.0° at an altitude of 1,343 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots coming from a direction of 53°.
The aircraft landed on runway 08L, which had a length of 3,986 meters. The threshold height at 68 feet above ground level was above the target, and
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a score of 94.4%. The final approach to runway 08L was initiated from the west, with a heading of 83.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,343 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being above the target at 68 feet agl. The threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 136 knots. The touchdown point was located 87 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing spot. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -218 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 53°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,233 meters was 31% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill in maintaining control of the aircraft during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot achieving a high score.
