Keep the wings level on final
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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,015 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,015 m of the 3,216 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 370 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 09 at EDDW Bremen Airport. The takeoff distance was 636 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 137 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots at 169 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south of Bremen, Germany. The climb took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,052 feet above sea level to 7,722 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,670 feet. The enroute level cruise then began overhead Worpswede, Lower Saxony, Germany, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 40 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile southwest of Wewelsfleth, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, and took 6 minutes to descend from 7,724 feet above sea level to 1,343 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,381 feet. The descent covered a distance of 21 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 15 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was made from the northwest, heading 154.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,295 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 15 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 372 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 126 knots, and the touchdown speed at 119 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -351 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 17 knots at 170 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,926 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 79 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 27 minutes. The aircraft used 1,154 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, achieving a high score of 98.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 154.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,295 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 15, which has a length of 3,216 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 126 knots. However, this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 372 meters, and the touchdown speed of 119 knots was a little fast, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was firm, at -351 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 4.1 meters, which may require some adjustments in the approach and landing procedures. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from 170°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 5 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance.
The total landing distance was 1,926 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating a well-executed approach and landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, showing that the aircraft was well under control during the landing and rollout phases.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and landing phases. However, there are some areas for improvement, such as adjusting the approach and landing procedures to achieve a more accurate touchdown position and reducing the touchdown speed.
