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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,441 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 368 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 30 at EKVG Vágar Airport. The takeoff distance was 787 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 146 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 24 knots at a direction of 120°.
The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 24 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Sorvagur, a location in the Faroe Islands. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,274 feet above sea level to 33,559 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,285 feet, in just 18 minutes and covering a distance of 96 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 79 miles east of Nolsoy, a location in the Faroe Islands. This phase of the flight lasted for 24 minutes and covered a distance of 184 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 72 miles west of Fedje, a location in Norway. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 33,461 feet above sea level to 1,474 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,987 feet, in just 17 minutes and covering a distance of 92 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17 at ENBR Bergen Airport, Flesland, was made from the north, with a heading of 170.0°, at an altitude of 1,309 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -6°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 71°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was minimal.
The aircraft landed on runway 17, which had a length of 2,441 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 125 knots. The touchdown distance was 369 meters, and the touchdown speed was 123 knots, both of which were good. However, the touchdown rate was hard, at -442 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 379 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 68 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,196 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at ENBR Bergen Airport, Flesland, with a score of 97.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 170.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,309 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed smoothly on runway 17, which has a length of 2,441 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 125 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating that the pilot had maintained control and was on track to land safely. The touchdown distance of 369 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 123 knots was also good, indicating a controlled descent.
However, the touchdown rate was hard, at -442 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate that the pilot could have applied a smoother touchdown. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control and was aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -6°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 71°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the headwind component was negligible, at 0 knots. The total landing distance of 1,357 meters was 56% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident in the execution of the maneuver.
