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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,707 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 458 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Cologne Bonn Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 12 minutes and covered a distance of approximately 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 13L, the crew initiated the departure roll, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 139 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,326 meters accounted for 35% of the runway length, and the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18°C and a gentle tailwind, contributed to a smooth departure.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it passed overhead Cologne Bonn Airport and continued its ascent to 34,684 feet above sea level, a gain of 33,411 feet in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 104 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase began approximately 1 mile south of Heinrichsthal, lasting 11 minutes and covering 80 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its descent, starting 3 miles north of Mistelgau, and descended from 35,059 feet to 2,578 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,482 feet in 19 minutes and covering 107 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 06 at Václav Havel Airport Prague was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 65.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,377 feet above ground level.
The Airbus A321 landed on runway 06 at Václav Havel Airport Prague, with a touchdown distance of 458 meters, accounting for 28% of the runway length. The touchdown speed of 123 knots and the firm touchdown rate of -330 feet per minute were within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. Following a taxiing time of 5 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft arrived at the parking area. The total flight distance of 299 nautical miles was completed in 59 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 2,610 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The aircraft, an Airbus A321, successfully executed a final approach to runway 06 at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague from the south west, aligning with the runway at a heading of 65.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,377 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 133 knots, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 458 meters, with a touchdown speed of 123 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -330 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 350°, contributed to a smooth and stable approach. The crosswind component of 4 knots and the headwind component of 1 knot had a minimal impact on the aircraft's performance. The touchdown characteristics were consistent with a well-executed landing, with a good balance between speed and control.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway centerline throughout the rollout phase. The total landing distance of 1,046 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was scored 97.8%, reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the crew in executing a safe and efficient landing.
