Slow the descent speed
See Enroute Descent
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,722 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,722 m of the 2,790 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 626 m past the threshold — beyond 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, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A321 then departed from runway 28 at LICA Lamezia Terme Airport, a facility located in Calabria, Italy. The takeoff distance was 902 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 144 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 25 knots at a direction of 269 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 25 knots. The enroute climb started over LICA Lamezia Terme Airport and continued to an altitude of 35,928 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,960 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 123 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began over LIRI Salerno Costa d'Amalfi Airport in Campania, Italy, and lasted for 98 minutes, covering a distance of 738 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 2 miles southwest of Giesen in Lower Saxony, Germany. The descent from 36,048 feet to 1,435 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,613 feet in 18 minutes, covered a distance of 99 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was made from the southwest, heading at 50.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,383 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 05 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 126 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -102 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 205 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 1°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 30 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,636 meters, accounting for 59% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxiied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 968 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 148 minutes. The aircraft used 7,152 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, achieving a score of 95.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 50.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,383 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 05, which has a length of 2,790 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 205 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 126 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was also smooth, at -102 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.3 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 30°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's landing performance was satisfactory.
The total landing distance was 1,636 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for safe deceleration. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and a smooth touchdown rate. However, the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position and the touchdown beyond the designated zone are areas for improvement.
