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.

Side view — the last 1,613 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,613 m of the 3,216 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 465 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A321 then departed from runway 10 at Nuremberg Airport (EDDN), with a takeoff distance of 1,535 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 129 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Nuremberg Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 2,095 feet above sea level to 34,009 feet, an increase of 31,914 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile south of Bad Hersfeld Airfield (EDEN), lasting 12 minutes and covering 87 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent from 34,007 feet above sea level to 3,001 feet, a decrease of 31,006 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 101 nautical miles. The descent started 1 mile northeast of Sarstedt, Germany.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time starting overhead Lentfohrden, Germany, and lasting 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The final enroute descent began overhead Langeln, Germany, with the aircraft descending from 3,004 feet above sea level to 1,451 feet, a decrease of 1,553 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH) was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 153.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,399 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 128 knots and a touchdown distance of 465 meters. The touchdown rate was fair at -261 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 1°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 130 degrees, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,528 meters, accounting for 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 6 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 314 nautical miles, taking 64 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,869 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH) on runway 15, achieving a high score of 98.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 153.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,399 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a steady course, ensuring a smooth final approach.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway threshold at a speed of 131 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 465 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly lower than the threshold speed, but still within the acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate of -261 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have maintained a more gradual descent.
Despite the slightly high touchdown rate, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained a steady course and was well-aligned with the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 1,528 meters was 48% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had maintained a high level of control and precision throughout the landing, and had made effective use of the available runway length. Finally, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a steady course and had not deviated significantly from the centerline of the runway. Overall, the landing was a success, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the entire process.
