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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,587 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 377 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 08R at EDDM Munich Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,150 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 70 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of EDDM Munich Airport. The climb took 26 minutes and covered a distance of 168 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 2,484 feet above sea level to 39,570 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,085 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Toscolano Maderno in Italy. This phase lasted for 50 minutes and covered a distance of 365 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 78 miles north east of Es Castell in Spain. The descent took 25 minutes and covered a distance of 142 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 39,826 feet above sea level to 1,348 feet above sea level, a decrease of 38,478 feet.
The final approach to runway 24L at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport was made from the north east, with a heading of 238.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,328 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 24L, which had a length of 2,587 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 130 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 376 meters, and the touchdown speed was 122 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -258 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.3 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at a direction of 339 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,194 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 685 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 118 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,490 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 238.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,328 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft touched down on runway 24L, which has a length of 2,587 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 130 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown distance of 376 meters was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touching down.
However, the touchdown speed of 122 knots was slightly lower than the expected speed, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -258 feet per minute (fpm). This is considered fair, but it could be improved upon in future landings.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a miscalculation of the approach path. However, this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 339°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the landing, and the aircraft was able to maintain control throughout the approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,194 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its heading and direction after touchdown, and the pilot was able to control the aircraft effectively during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in executing the approach and touchdown.
