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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,633 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,633 m of the 3,595 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 572 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 152 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,565 m, which represented 51 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were 18 °C with a wind of 9 kt from 240°, including a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 9 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile north-west of Hamburg-Nord, with the airplane climbing from 1,000 ft asl to 35,009 ft asl, an altitude gain of 34,009 ft achieved in 20 minutes while covering 135 nm.
The first cruise segment began overhead EDOR Stölln-Rhinow Airfield Gollenberg and was maintained for 30 minutes, during which 223 nm were flown.
Descent started over LKCT Chotěboř Airfield, descending from 34,985 ft asl to 4,712 ft asl, a loss of 30,273 ft in 16 minutes and spanning 111 nm.
A brief cruise phase followed, beginning 1 mile south-west of Bruckneudorf, lasting 3 minutes and covering 13 nm.
The subsequent descent began 2 miles east of Oggau, dropping from 3,708 ft asl to 1,951 ft asl, a reduction of 1,757 ft in 4 minutes while traveling another 13 nm.
For the final approach to runway 34 at LOWW Vienna International Airport, the aircraft approached from the south on a heading of 343.0° at 4 nm and 1,357 ft agl.
Landing on runway 34, which is 3,595 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 142 kt (slightly above target). Touchdown was recorded 155 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 136 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 245 fpm and very good alignment. Local weather reported 20 °C, wind 18 kt from 299°, a 13 kt cross-wind and a 13 kt head-wind. The total landing distance measured 1,552 m, representing 43 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was noted as very good as the aircraft decelerated to a stop.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking stand in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 502 nm, required 86 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 3,812 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320ceo on a final approach to runway 34 at LOWW Vienna International Airport maintained a heading of 343.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,357 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, and the local weather was 20 °C with wind 18 kt from 299°, giving a crosswind component of 13 kt and a headwind component of 13 kt.
At threshold the aircraft’s speed was slightly above target at 142 kt and the threshold height was good; the flare was executed with the aircraft aligned very well for touchdown.
Touchdown occurred 155 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 136 kt, described as a little fast, and a touchdown rate of minus 245 fpm, which was fair. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,552 m, representing 43 % of the 3,595 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
To convert the slight excess in threshold and touchdown speeds into a more precise aim point, the crew should target the published threshold speed and adjust the flare to achieve touchdown nearer the intended zone while maintaining the current excellent alignment.
