See Arrival Final 3
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline and wings not level.

Side view — the last 1,662 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,662 m of the 2,104 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 a departure roll from runway 24 at Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, where the aircraft, an Airbus A321, took off with a takeoff distance of 1,832 meters, which is 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 166 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it reached an altitude of 22,765 feet above sea level, an increase of 20,607 feet from the initial altitude of 2,158 feet. This climb took place over a distance of 38 nautical miles and was completed in 10 minutes. The enroute level cruise phase began 2 miles north of Bleialf, Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase started 3 miles northeast of Büllingen Airfield, Belgium, and involved a descent from 22,558 feet to 1,601 feet above sea level, a decrease of 20,956 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 49 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 05L at Düsseldorf Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 54.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,454 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 05L at Düsseldorf Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 429 meters, which is 76% of the runway length. The threshold speed was good at 141 knots, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -242 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.4 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at the time of departure, with a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind. The total landing distance was 1,607 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In summary, the flight was completed in 26 minutes, covering a total distance of 105 nautical miles and using 4,926 kilograms of fuel. The flight was characterized by a smooth and efficient climb, cruise, and descent, as well as a successful landing on runway 05L at Düsseldorf Airport.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 05L at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport, achieving a high score of 97.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 54.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,454 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 141 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force upon touchdown. The touchdown rate of -242 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The aircraft landed on the runway with a touchdown distance of 429 meters, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline, indicating that the pilot may have needed to make some adjustments during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both minimal, at 1 knot each, which reduced the risk of the aircraft being blown off course during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,607 meters was 76% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and runway alignment, which the pilot may need to address in future training sessions.
