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.
Side view — the last 1,581 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,581 m of the 3,110 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 408 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 09R at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL). The takeoff distance was 952 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 18°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 80 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb began 1 mile north of Feltham, Greater London, where the aircraft ascended from 1,126 feet above sea level to 5,801 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,676 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile northwest of Virginia Water, Surrey, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began another climb, this time from 5,831 feet above sea level to 35,269 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,438 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 141 nautical miles. This climb took place 1 mile northeast of Hampstead Norreys, West Berkshire.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent 6 miles northwest of Newport, Pembrokeshire, Wales. The descent from 35,378 feet above sea level to 1,524 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,854 feet in 21 minutes, covered a distance of 96 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 10L at Dublin Airport (EIDW) was made from the west, heading 95.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,299 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 10L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 410 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -349 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were 11°C temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots at 140 degrees. The crosswind was 9 knots, while the headwind was 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,499 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking from the runway in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 276 nautical miles, taking 65 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,175 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 has successfully landed at Dublin Airport, achieving a score of 95.0%. The aircraft was approaching runway 10L from the west, heading 95.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,299 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach was executed with precision, resulting in a good threshold height and a well-aligned touchdown on the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed, reaching 153 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 410 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 143 knots was a little fast, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The aircraft's rate of descent was firm, at -349 feet per minute, which is typical for a controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were moderate, with a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 140°.
The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was also 9 knots, resulting in a relatively calm landing environment. The total landing distance of 1,499 meters was 48% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the wind conditions.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, resulting in a high score of 95.0%.
