Slow down earlier
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: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,216 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 385 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 10R at Dublin Airport (EIDW). The takeoff distance was 1,250 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 70°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile north east of Ballymun, Ireland, and ascended from an altitude of 1,276 feet above sea level to 35,536 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,260 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 144 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Bramhall, England, and lasted for 45 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 332 nautical miles. The descent from the cruise altitude began 1 mile north east of Blijham, The Netherlands, and the aircraft descended from 35,378 feet above sea level to 1,308 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,071 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH) was made from the north west, with a heading of 151.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 15 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 385 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 121 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -216 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 90°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,270 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 593 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 1 hour and 42 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,606 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, achieving a high score of 98.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 151.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 15, which has a length of 3,216 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 126 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to slow down before touchdown. The touchdown distance of 385 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 121 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate of -216 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than desired. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or the pilot's decision to touch down slightly off-center.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 90°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing, but the pilots were able to manage them effectively.
The total landing distance of 1,270 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to touch down and stop quickly, which is a desirable outcome in terms of safety and efficiency. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its direction and speed after touchdown, and that the pilots were able to control the aircraft effectively during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and handling characteristics.
