Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 433 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 Venice Marco Polo Airport, which took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 04R, and the takeoff distance was 1,038 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 152 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 2°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 260°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the tailwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the Venice Marco Polo Airport and continued for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 57 nautical miles and increasing the altitude from 1,059 feet to 31,306 feet.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Panchia, Italy, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 60 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent from 31,265 feet to 3,984 feet, a decrease of 27,281 feet, in 14 minutes and covering 67 nautical miles. The descent started overhead Zirl, Austria.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 1 mile northeast of Walpertskirchen, Germany, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final descent began overhead Inning am Holz, Germany, and the aircraft descended from 3,796 feet to 2,731 feet in 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26R at Munich Airport was from the east, with a heading of 264.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,245 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway length of 3,986 meters, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was good at 121 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 435 meters. The touchdown speed was 114 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -284 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -1°C temperature and a wind speed of 14 knots at 250°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The total landing distance was 1,236 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 202 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 51 minutes. The aircraft used 2,083 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDM Munich Airport on runway 26R, achieving a score of 99.3%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 264.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,245 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 14 knots at 250°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 121 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 435 meters was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -284 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have maintained a more gradual descent to reduce the impact on the aircraft.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 3 knots. Despite this, the pilot managed to maintain perfect runway rollout alignment, ensuring a safe and controlled rollout.
The total landing distance of 1,236 meters was 31% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
