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.

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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,018 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 350 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EDDN Nuremberg Airport. This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 28, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 154 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 249°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile west of EDDN Nuremberg Airport. The climb took place from an initial altitude of 2,053 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 35,320 feet, an increase of 33,267 feet in just 18 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 89 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a series of level cruises and descents. The first level cruise took place 2 miles east of Ottrau, Germany, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 87 nautical miles. The first descent started 2 miles west of Burghaun, Germany, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 34,640 feet to 33,644 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The second level cruise took place overhead Volendam, Netherlands, and lasted for just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The second descent started overhead Broek in Waterland, Netherlands, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,480 feet to 1,256 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol took place from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 221.0° at an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 2,018 meters, and the threshold height was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was well above the target at 146 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 351 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 140 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -405 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 26 knots at 240°.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 7 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 310 nautical miles, taking 77 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,213 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a score of 96.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 221.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 22, which has a length of 2,018 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 140 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 351 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -405 feet per minute (fpm) was classified as hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight jolt upon touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 26 knots from a direction of 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 25 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. Despite these conditions, the runway touchdown alignment was deemed very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway.
The total landing distance of 956 meters was 47% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to land smoothly and efficiently, with minimal use of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also considered very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite the challenging weather conditions.
