Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so speed is back to 133 kt before the gate, not after it.
What happened: Speed control was already loose at the stabilisation gate, and this flight crossed the threshold at 157 kt against a target of 133 kt, 24 kt fast. Carrying excess speed into the gate like this usually carries straight through to a fast threshold crossing.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 133 kt by the gate and held to 133 kt at the threshold.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 3.6° off, against a 1° limit and speed 31 kt FAST on the reference speed of 133 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 2.7° off, against a 1° limit and speed 33 kt FAST on the reference speed of 133 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,115 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 465 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 33 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, a movement that required 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 33, the aircraft used 1,974 m of runway, representing 61 % of the available length, and lifted off at 159 kt. Local weather at the time was 18 °C with a wind of 9 kt from 220°, including an 8 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt tailwind.
Climb commenced 1 mile south of Norderstedt, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The airplane ascended from 1,023 ft asl to 36,009 ft asl, a gain of 34,986 ft, in 21 minutes while covering 138 nm.
The first cruise segment began 2 miles north-east of EKRA Rårup Airfield, Region Midtjylland, Denmark, and lasted 45 minutes, during which 318 nm were flown.
Descent started 11 miles south of Laerdalsoyri, Vestland, Norway. The aircraft descended from 36,024 ft asl to 5,998 ft asl, a loss of 30,026 ft, in 18 minutes and covered 103 nm.
A second cruise phase was initiated 2 miles south of Andalsnes, Møre og Romsdal fylke, Norway, lasting 3 minutes and spanning 16 nm.
The subsequent descent began 5 miles east of Kleive, Møre og Romsdal fylke, Norway, with the aircraft dropping from 5,562 ft asl to 1,546 ft asl, a decrease of 4,017 ft, in 5 minutes over 12 nm.
Final approach to runway 25 at ENML Molde Airport, Årø, was executed from 1,583 ft agl down to 62 ft agl in 116 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 25 at ENML Molde Airport occurred on a runway 2,115 m long. The threshold speed was 157 kt, above the target, and touchdown was recorded at 131 kt, slightly fast. Touchdown distance measured 465 m, with a touchdown rate of minus 267 fpm and very good runway alignment. Local weather at landing was 10 °C with a wind of 32 kt from 260°, including a 5 kt crosswind component and a 31 kt headwind.
The total landing distance was 987 m, representing 47 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
In total, the flight covered 594 nm, took 100, and consumed 4,136 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 18 at ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes, was executed from the north, heading 193.0° at 4 nm and 1,757 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 139 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
The aircraft touched down 49 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 128 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -176 fpm was also good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8 °C and a wind of 7 kt at 239°, resulted in a crosswind of 5 kt and a headwind of 5 kt.
The total landing distance was 1,373 m, which accounted for 69% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 99.8%. The slight deviation in threshold speed and the touchdown point being beyond the touchdown zone were the only minor deviations from the optimal landing parameters.
