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 1,795 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 616 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A320 began at Keflavik International Airport (BIKF) in Reykjavík, Iceland. The taxi from the parking area to the runway took 7 minutes and covered 2 nm. The aircraft entered Runway 19 at BIKF with an average speed of 12 knots for departure. The takeoff roll on Runway 19 covered 1,288 meters, which was 42% of the total runway length, and the liftoff speed was 157 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 8°C with a wind speed of 29 knots at 219°, providing a crosswind of 19 knots and a headwind of 22 knots.
The departure climb proceeded smoothly, reaching different altitudes at certain distances from the airport. The enroute climb started overhead BIKF, climbing from 1,180 feet to 5,457 feet, covering a distance of 7 nm in 2 minutes. The aircraft then levelled off for a short period of 2 minutes, covering 9 nm. The subsequent climb started 11 miles east of Grindavik, ascending from 5,520 feet to 35,869 feet in 23 minutes, and covering a distance of 159 nm. The level cruise phase lasted for 18 minutes, covering 147 nm.
As the aircraft descended, it reached various locations and altitudes. The enroute descent began at latitude 62.7879606 and longitude -10.8038935, descending from 36,288 feet to 4,370 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nm. The second descent started 3 miles west of Argir, descending from 4,031 feet to 1,726 feet in 3 minutes, covering 8 nm. The final approach to Runway 30 at Vágar Airport (EKVG) was from the southeast at an altitude of 1,464 feet agl, with the aircraft touching down after following a precise glide path.
During landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 123 knots, with a good touchdown rate of -72 ft/m. The touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated area, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 17.2 m from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,078 m, which was 60% of the runway length. The rollout alignment was slightly off by 19.3 m from the centerline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied at an average speed of 9 knots to exit the runway and then to reach the parking area which took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 466 nm, with a flight time of 78 minutes, consuming 3,142 kg of fuel.
