Reduce your height at the threshold
See Arrival Landing
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,642 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,642 m of the 3,312 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 515 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EDDG Münster Osnabrück Airport, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 25, with a takeoff distance of 1,020 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at a direction of 310 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of EDDG Münster Osnabrück Airport, and continued to climb from an altitude of 1,190 feet above sea level to 36,100 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,910 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 157 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile south of Erbach, Germany, and lasting 19 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 125 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Gestratz, Bavaria, Germany, and descended from 36,200 feet above sea level to 28,541 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,659 feet, in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 42 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 3 miles southeast of See, Tirol, Austria, and lasting 9 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 71 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Ronzo-Chienis, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy, and descended from 28,562 feet above sea level to 1,303 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,259 feet, in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 61 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04R at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 42.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft was forced to execute a go-around at an altitude of 50 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 04R, with a runway length of 3,312 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 144 knots.
The touchdown point was 102 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 137 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -198 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1 degree Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 6 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,565 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 472 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 98 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,731 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport, achieving a score of 98.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 42.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 04R, which has a length of 3,312 meters.
The threshold height at 57 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation in the aircraft's descent. Similarly, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots. This suggests that the aircraft may have been slightly faster than desired during the final approach. However, these deviations were minor and did not significantly impact the overall landing performance.
The touchdown point was 102 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 137 knots was a little fast, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly too aggressive during the landing. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -198 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of -1°C, a wind speed of 2 knots at 6°, and a crosswind of 1 kt and headwind of 1 kt.
The total landing distance was 1,565 meters, which is 47% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 98.1%. While there were minor deviations in the threshold height and speed, the touchdown point, speed, and rate were all within acceptable limits. The good runway touchdown alignment, short landing distance, and perfect runway rollout alignment further highlight the success of the landing.
