Reduce your height at the threshold
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,721 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,721 m of the 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 752 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Split Airport, Croatia, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 05, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 29 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 3 knots from 338 degrees. The takeoff roll commenced, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 145 knots, utilizing 43% of the available runway length of 1,092 meters.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed over several notable landmarks, including Kastel Stafilic and Brinje, before leveling off at 33,724 feet above sea level. The enroute climb phase was completed in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 117 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a 16-minute level cruise phase, during which it flew 113 nautical miles southwest of Brinje. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, passing over Treffen and Velden before leveling off at 2,767 feet above sea level. The final approach to runway 26L at Munich Airport was executed from the east, with the aircraft touching down 336 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 135 knots.
The landing distance of 1,640 meters, which accounted for 41% of the available runway length, was slightly above the target. However, the runway rollout alignment was excellent, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 374 nautical miles was completed in 72 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 3,647 kilograms of fuel. The flight's performance was satisfactory, with the aircraft meeting the required standards for takeoff, climb, cruise, and landing.
The final approach to runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport from the east, heading 263.0° at 4 nm and 1,288 ft agl, was conducted in a stable and controlled manner. The approach quality was satisfactory, with the aircraft maintaining a steady descent rate and aligning itself with the runway centerline. However, the threshold height at 77 ft agl was well above the target, indicating a slightly higher-than-desired approach path angle.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it was traveling at a speed of 135 kt, which was a little fast. The touchdown point was 336 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The touchdown rate of -290 fpm was fair, suggesting a reasonable deceleration after touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22 °C and a wind of 22 kt at 300°, contributed to a moderate crosswind component of 13 kt and a headwind component of 17 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,640 m was 41% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 87.2%. While there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance ensured a safe and controlled landing.
