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 3,282 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 505 m past the threshold — beyond 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, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 17 at ESMS Malmö Sturup Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,446 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots blowing at 140°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead ESMS Malmö Sturup Airport and ascending from 1,258 feet above sea level to 36,318 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,060 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 131 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles north-east of Holsbybrunn and lasting 5 minutes, covering a distance of 38 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 7 miles north-east of Horn and descending from 36,298 feet above sea level to 11,480 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,818 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 82 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles east of Stora Vika and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles north-west of Groedby and descending from 10,473 feet above sea level to 1,394 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,080 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01L at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 10.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,271 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 83 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 125 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -170 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots blowing at 40°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,132 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 296 nautical miles, taking 61 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,665 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its flight operations. The aircraft's final approach to runway 01L from the south was executed with precision, with a heading of 10.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed of 134 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 125 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilots may have been able to make some adjustments to the approach to achieve a more optimal touchdown speed.
The touchdown point was located 83 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate of -170 feet per minute was within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and without excessive deceleration.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 40°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 1,132 meters was 34% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop in a safe and controlled manner.
Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, and the pilots demonstrated a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics. The score of 99.3% reflects the high level of proficiency and skill displayed by the pilots during the landing.
