See Arrival Final 1
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,216 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 447 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from EDDC Dresden Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 04, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 10 °C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 130°. The aircraft's takeoff distance was 1,545 meters, which represented 61% of the runway length. At a liftoff speed of 159 knots, the aircraft successfully departed the ground and began its initial climb.
The enroute climb phase started approximately 1 mile northeast of EDDC Dresden Airport, where the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,670 feet above sea level to 28,013 feet above sea level, a vertical increase of 26,342 feet in 13 minutes. This climb phase was followed by a series of level cruises, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed. Notably, the aircraft's cruise altitude varied between 27,527 feet and 28,013 feet, with the aircraft experiencing a total descent of 17,067 feet in 13 minutes when transitioning from one level cruise phase to another. The aircraft's fuel consumption during this phase was moderate, with the aircraft using approximately 1,500 kg of fuel.
The final approach and landing phase began when the aircraft started its descent from an altitude of 3,553 feet above sea level to 1,412 feet above sea level, a vertical decrease of 2,142 feet in 3 minutes. The aircraft then transitioned to a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 1,412 feet above sea level for 5 minutes. The final approach to runway 15 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was executed from the northwest, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 137 knots and a distance of 446 meters. The total landing distance was 1,423 meters, which represented 44% of the runway length. The aircraft's taxiing time from the runway to the parking area was 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 252 nautical miles, with the aircraft using 2,716 kg of fuel during the entire journey.
The final approach to runway 15 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport from the north west was conducted with a heading of 153.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,358 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing conditions.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a touchdown distance of 446 meters, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 137 knots was a little fast, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -380 feet per minute. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating excellent control and precision during the landing phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 7°C and a wind of 6 knots at 130°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,423 meters, accounting for 44% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 96.6% reflecting the minor deviations from the optimal landing conditions.
