Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,671 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,671 m of the 3,987 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 429 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 at Bilbao Airport, taking 10 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 12, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 159 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 170°, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead Zamudio, Spain, and continued to ascend to a height of 29,532 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 106 nautical miles and took 17 minutes to complete, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 28,325 feet. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 58 minutes and covered a distance of 508 nautical miles. This phase took place approximately 3 miles southwest of Laruns, France.
The aircraft then began its descent, passing overhead Nonnenhorn, Germany, and continuing to descend to a height of 4,963 feet above sea level. This descent phase covered a distance of 106 nautical miles and took 17 minutes to complete, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude by 24,421 feet. Following this, the aircraft entered a brief level cruise phase, lasting only 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles, as it passed 1 mile northwest of Lengdorf, Germany.
The aircraft then began its final descent, passing overhead Taufkirchen, Germany, and continuing to descend to a height of 2,755 feet above sea level. This descent phase covered a distance of 9 nautical miles and took 3 minutes to complete, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude by 2,212 feet.
The final approach to Munich Airport took place from the east, with the aircraft heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 26L, which had a length of 3,987 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7 °C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 200°, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 126 knots and a touchdown rate of -362 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 430 meters, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.2 meters. The total landing distance was 1,587 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 744 nautical miles and took 113 minutes to complete, using 5,856 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a high score of 94.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was within the acceptable range, at 134 knots, and the touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 430 meters. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was also within the desired limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate was slightly firm at -362 feet per minute (fpm), which may require some adjustments to the landing technique.
One notable aspect of this landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 10.2 meters. This may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error, but it did not seem to significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 7°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots at 200°, were favorable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,587 meters was within the acceptable range, accounting for approximately 40% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop safely within the available runway distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the post-landing braking technique.
Overall, the Airbus A321 demonstrated a high level of proficiency in landing on runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport, with a score of 94.7%. While there were some minor issues with alignment, the pilot's performance was generally excellent, and the aircraft was able to stop safely within the available runway distance.
