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 152 m above the runway. The 305 m 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 2,447 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 543 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Düsseldorf Airport, taking approximately 6 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 05R, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 148 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots at a direction of 40°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Düsseldorf Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile northeast of the airport. The climb took place from an altitude of 347 meters above sea level to a maximum altitude of 10,844 meters above sea level, an increase of 10,496.6 meters. This climb phase took 17 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 94 nautical miles. The aircraft then transitioned into a level cruise, which began approximately 1 mile east of Mainz-Finthen Airfield in Germany. This cruise phase lasted for 25 minutes and covered a distance of 195 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started overhead the town of Wassen in Switzerland. The descent took place from an altitude of 10,870 meters above sea level to a final altitude of 502 meters above sea level, a decrease of 10,368.4 meters. This descent phase took 20 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 86 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 36 at Milano Linate Airport, approaching from the south at a heading of 356.0° and at an altitude of 392.8 meters above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 36, which had a length of 2,447 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 138 knots. The touchdown point was 125 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -1.4 meters per second, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 0°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,401 meters, which was 57% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied 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 383 nautical miles, and the flight took a total of 72 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 2,455 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LIML Milano Linate Airport, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 356.0° at an altitude of 392.8 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on runway 36, which has a length of 2,447 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 138 knots. However, this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown point was 125 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -1.4 meters per second was fair.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 0°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind of 2 knots, which did not affect the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,401 meters was 57% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 98.4%.
