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 444 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 7 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 08, with the takeoff distance covering 51% of the runway's length at 1,262 meters. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 153 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 11°C temperature and winds of 6 knots at 59°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb started 2 miles east of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,184 feet above sea level to 17,673 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,489 feet in 8 minutes, covering 41 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles northwest of Gnesta, lasting 11 minutes and covering 84 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb 1 mile west of Kisa, ascending from 17,718 feet above sea level to 29,387 feet above sea level, an increase of 11,669 feet in 6 minutes, covering 16 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 4 miles southwest of Nykil, lasting 12 minutes and covering 67 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent 5 miles southwest of Roervik, descending from 29,476 feet above sea level to 1,492 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,984 feet in 17 minutes, covering 102 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 17 at ESMS Malmö Sturup Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 173.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,258 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 17, which was 2,789 meters long. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 132 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 446 meters, although the touchdown speed was a little fast at 126 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -216 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 15°C temperature and winds of 1 knot at 270°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,016 meters, covering 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 317 nautical miles, taking 63 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,805 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at ESMS Malmö Sturup Airport, achieving a high score of 99.3%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 173.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 17, which has a length of 2,789 meters.
The threshold height at 58 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing height. However, the threshold speed was well within the acceptable range at 132 knots, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the final approach. The touchdown distance of 446 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
Despite a slightly fast touchdown speed of 126 knots, the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing. The touchdown rate of -216 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown relatively smoothly. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 1,016 meters was 36% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely on the runway.
