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.
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 2,789 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 421 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 at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, taking approximately 10 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 01L, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,456 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 25 knots blowing from a direction of 10°. This resulted in a headwind of 25 knots, with no crosswind component. As the aircraft took to the skies, it began its enroute climb, starting approximately 1 mile north of ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,140 feet above sea level to 32,562 feet, an increase of 31,422 feet, in just 19 minutes and covering a distance of 133 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began approximately 3 miles northeast of OEsterbymo. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 66 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase started approximately 5 miles northeast of Lagan, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 32,649 feet to 1,514 feet, a decrease of 31,135 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 94 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, ESMS Malmö Sturup Airport, it began its final approach to runway 35 from the south, heading 353.0° at an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. However, the aircraft was forced to execute a go-around at an altitude of 164 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 35, which had a length of 2,789 meters. The threshold height at 56 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 139 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 424 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -321 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots blowing from a direction of 40°. This resulted in a headwind of 9 knots and a crosswind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,351 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 308 nautical miles, taking a total of 76 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,224 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at ESMS Malmö Sturup Airport, achieving a score of 97.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 353.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 35, which has a length of 2,789 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 134 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 424 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -321 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a slight impact upon touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 13 knots at 40°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly affect the landing.
The aircraft's alignment with the runway during touchdown was very good, and the rollout alignment after touchdown was perfect. The total landing distance of 1,351 meters was 48% of the runway length, indicating a controlled and efficient landing. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft meeting most of the target parameters.
