Hold the approach angle
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,387 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 472 m touchdown sits inside 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 LOWW Vienna International Airport, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. Departure roll occurred on runway 16, with a takeoff distance of 1,411 meters, which is 39% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 169 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 24 knots coming from a direction of 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 23 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Enzersdorf an der Fischa in Niederoesterreich, Austria, and climbing from an altitude of 1,636 feet above sea level to 35,080 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,444 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 132 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile south west of Gudovac in Bjelovar-Bilogora, Croatia, and lasting 7 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles north west of Dvor in Sisak-Moslavina, Croatia, and descending from 35,300 feet above sea level to 3,927 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,373 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 101 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 6 miles south west of Rogoznica in Sibenik-Knin, Croatia, and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 9 miles south of Rogoznica, and descending from 3,774 feet above sea level to 2,948 feet above sea level, a decrease of 826 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 6 miles south west of Vinisce in Split-Dalmatia, Croatia, and lasting 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 05 at LDSP Split Airport, coming from the south west and heading 52.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level.
The landing occurred on runway 05 at LDSP Split Airport, which has a length of 2,387 meters. The threshold height was well above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 141 knots. The touchdown point was 54 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 141 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -273 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,415 meters, which is 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centreline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 9 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 309 nautical miles, taking 67 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,232 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at LDSP Split Airport, but with some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 52.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 05, which has a length of 2,387 meters.
The threshold height at 72 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 141 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed. The touchdown point was 54 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 141 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -273 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and winds of 18 knots at 100°. The crosswind component was 13 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's performance and alignment during the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,415 meters, which is 59% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's difficulty in maintaining alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, but with some minor deviations from the ideal parameters. The pilots may need to review their technique and adjust their approach to improve the alignment and touchdown speed in future landings.
