Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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.

Side view — the last 1,789 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,789 m of the 3,989 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 498 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 Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, taking approximately 6 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 23, with a takeoff distance of 1,396 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started at an altitude of 1,050 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 23,103 feet, an increase of 22,052 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 53 nautical miles. The climb began 1 mile northwest of Winterhude, a suburb in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Germany. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, flying overhead Hilgermissen, a town in the state of Lower Saxony, Germany, for 12 minutes, covering 89 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Nordkirchen, a town in the state of Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. The descent from 23,326 feet to 21,531 feet took 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, flying 1 mile northwest of Castrop-Rauxel, a town in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, for 3 minutes, covering 25 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent, starting 1 mile west of Düsseldorf-Wolfsaap Airfield Ratingen, a small airfield in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. The descent from 21,366 feet to 15,411 feet took 3 minutes, covering 20 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, flying overhead Titz, a town in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, for 12 minutes, covering 54 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile southeast of Gouvy, a town in Wallonia, Belgium. The descent from 15,410 feet to 2,505 feet took 10 minutes, covering 33 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 24 at Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, flying from the northeast at a heading of 240.0 degrees, 4 nautical miles from the airport, and at an altitude of 1,307 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 24, which is 3,989 meters long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was well above the target speed at 144 knots. The touchdown point was 77 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -335 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 7 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 300 nautical miles, taking 81 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,546 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 24 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, achieving a score of 92.0%. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 240.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,307 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed that was well above the target, reaching 144 kt. This indicates a high level of control and precision during the landing process. The touchdown point was 77 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 136 kt was slightly faster than desired, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to make adjustments to achieve a smoother touchdown.
The touchdown rate was firm at -335 feet per minute (fpm), which is a typical value for a commercial airliner. This indicates that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown without any significant issues. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail during the landing process.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 11 kt from 210°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 kt and a headwind of 9 kt, which the pilot successfully managed during the landing. The total landing distance was 1,704 meters, which is 43% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft coming to a stop safely and efficiently.
