Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,520 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,520 m of the 3,987 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 466 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 24R at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,244 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28°C, a wind speed of 6 knots at 320°, with a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport. The climb took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 148 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,087 feet above sea level to 36,575 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,487 feet. The enroute level cruise started 63 miles east of Tamariu, Spain, and lasted for 52 minutes, covering a distance of 409 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent overhead Senales, Italy, descending from 36,847 feet above sea level to 31,830 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,017 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 23 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again 4 miles south east of Umhausen, Austria, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The final descent began 1 mile north of Telfs, Austria, and took 12 minutes to descend from 31,823 feet above sea level to 2,762 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,061 feet, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08R at EDDM Munich Airport was made from the west, heading 83.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,276 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 08R, which had a length of 3,987 meters. The threshold height at 56 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 134 knots. The touchdown point was 49 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -302 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, a wind speed of 2 knots at 80°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 2,438 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 667 nautical miles, took 107 minutes, and used 5,341 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDM Munich Airport on runway 08R, achieving a score of 98.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 83.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was conducted with a slight deviation in threshold height, being 56 feet agl, which was slightly above the target.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 134 knots, which was also slightly above the target. The touchdown point was located 49 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was a bit faster than desired, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -302 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.4 meters, which may have been due to the aircraft's heading or the wind conditions. The local weather at the time of landing was characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 80°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 2,438 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway length. Notably, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied effectively to bring the plane to a stop. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the target parameters.
