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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,560 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,560 m of the 2,441 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 441 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Nuremberg Airport, EDDN, taking approximately 6 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 28, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,279 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 350 degrees.
As the aircraft began its enroute climb, it started 1 mile west of Nuremberg Airport and ascended from an altitude of 2,039 feet above sea level to 38,048 feet, a total increase of 36,009 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 131 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a level cruise that started 4 miles northeast of Immenhausen, Germany, and lasted for 67 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 467 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began overhead Jorpeland, Norway, and saw the aircraft descend from an altitude of 38,032 feet to 1,374 feet, a decrease of 36,659 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 84 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 17 at Bergen Airport, Flesland, was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 172.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,212 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing took place on runway 17, which had a length of 2,441 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 143 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 441 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 139 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -323 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 160 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,480 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi 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 689 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 117 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,343 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at ENBR Bergen Airport, Flesland, with a score of 98.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 172.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,212 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on runway 17, which has a length of 2,441 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 143 knots. This indicates that the aircraft was able to maintain a safe speed during the approach and landing phases. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 441 meters, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
However, the touchdown speed of 139 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, which may indicate that the aircraft could have been slowed down more effectively during the approach. The touchdown rate of -323 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft touched down with a moderate amount of force.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 160°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve the landing performance.
The total landing distance was 1,480 meters, which is 61% of the runway length. This is a reasonable distance, considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and aligned path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and safety, and the aircraft was able to touch down on the runway with a firm rate and maintain a stable alignment during the rollout phase. The score of 98.4% reflects the high level of proficiency and skill demonstrated by the pilots during the landing.
