Slow the descent speed
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 1,715 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,715 m of the 2,790 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 392 m touchdown sits inside 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A321 then departed from runway 27 at ENVA Trondheim Airport, Værnes, with a takeoff distance of 1,120 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 7°C temperature and winds of 11 knots at 229 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 9 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Hell in Trondelag, Norway, where the aircraft ascended from 1,057 feet above sea level to 37,369 feet, an increase of 36,311 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 188 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which began 4 miles northwest of Jevnaker in Viken, Norway. This phase of the flight lasted 31 minutes and covered a distance of 265 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 5 miles east of Horsens in Region Midtjylland, Denmark, where the aircraft descended from 38,150 feet to 1,347 feet, a decrease of 36,803 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 132 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was made from the northeast, heading 230.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,292 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft was forced to execute a go-around at 10 feet above ground level. The landing was eventually made on runway 23, with a runway length of 2,790 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 135 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 393 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 127 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -412 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also excellent. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 8°C temperature and winds of 5 knots at 320 degrees, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,631 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 601 nautical miles, which was covered in 110 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,227 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, achieving a score of 93.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 230.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with a slight deviation from the target threshold height, which was 56 feet agl, but still within acceptable limits. The threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 136 knots, indicating a slightly faster approach than desired. However, the touchdown speed of 127 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was hard at -412 feet per minute (fpm), which may have contributed to the slightly above-target threshold speed.
Despite these minor deviations, the aircraft performed well in terms of runway touchdown alignment, which was very good. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 8°C and a light wind of 5 knots at 320°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component and no headwind.
The touchdown distance of 393 meters was within the acceptable range, and the total landing distance of 1,631 meters was 58% of the runway length, indicating a good utilization of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill in maintaining control of the aircraft during the landing phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft performed well within the given conditions. However, there is room for improvement in terms of approach speed and touchdown rate to achieve a more optimal landing.
