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 2,312 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 428 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 less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 04R at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,439 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 168 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots at 350 degrees. The crosswind was 9 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb started over EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,009 feet above sea level to 36,021 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,012 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 172 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile northeast of Falkenberg, Germany, and lasted for 13 minutes, covering a distance of 198 nautical miles. The enroute descent started over Osvracin, Czech Republic, where the aircraft descended from 36,494 feet above sea level to 2,694 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,800 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at LOWS Salzburg Airport was made from the northwest, with a heading of 157.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,267 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 15 was successful, with a runway length of 2,312 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 140 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 429 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -404 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 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 13 knots at 310 degrees, with a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 12 knots. The total landing distance was 1,268 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The total flight distance was 478 nautical miles, taking 58 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,674 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LOWS Salzburg Airport, achieving a score of 96.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 157.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 15, which has a length of 2,312 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 136 knots, which was slightly above the target speed of 130-135 knots. The touchdown distance of 429 meters was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -404 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down with a bit too much force.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 310°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 12 knots. Despite the moderate wind conditions, the aircraft maintained a very good runway touchdown alignment, indicating precise control and navigation.
The total landing distance of 1,268 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained control and stability during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 96.2%.
