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.
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 497 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 29 at Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,439 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -0°C, with a wind speed of 22 knots at 330°.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered a significant increase in elevation, from 1,489 feet above sea level to 32,010 feet above sea level, a total increase of 30,521 feet. This climb took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 91 nautical miles. The enroute climb started overhead Rebiechowo, a location in the Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 31 minutes and covered a distance of 245 nautical miles. This phase began 1 mile northwest of Czaplinek, a location in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 32,023 feet above sea level to 2,861 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 29,162 feet. This descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 106 nautical miles. The descent started 1 mile northwest of Dolni Bela, a location in the Plzensky kraj, Czech Republic.
The final approach to runway 26R at Munich Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 264.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,384 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 26R, which had a length of 3,986 meters. The threshold height at 56 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 133 knots.
The touchdown point was 74 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 125 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was firm at -302 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -4°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 350°.
The total landing distance was 1,425 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 451 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 80 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,592 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a score of 94.8%. The final approach to runway 26R was initiated from the east, heading 264.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,384 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold speed of 133 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 125 knots, which is also within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was firm at -302 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. However, the touchdown point was 74 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were not ideal, with a temperature of -4°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 350°. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's landing performance was satisfactory.
The total landing distance was 1,425 meters, which is 36% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centerline. This may indicate a slight drift or deviation from the intended path during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the intended path.
