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 1,737 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 433 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A319 began with a 29-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at EGLL London Heathrow Airport. The departure roll took place on runway 27L, with a takeoff distance of 1,345 meters, covering 40% of the runway. The aircraft achieved liftoff at a speed of 169 knots. The local weather at the time indicated a temperature of 10°C with a wind speed of 19 knots coming from 349° resulting in a crosswind of 19 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
During the enroute climb, the aircraft started 1 mile south of Harmondsworth in Greater London, England. It climbed from 1,127 feet above sea level to 34,599 feet, covering a total distance of 101 nautical miles in 20 minutes. Enroute level cruise then began 1 mile northeast of EGEK Holly Meadow Farm Airstrip in Bradley, Derbyshire, lasting 9 minutes and covering 61 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase started overhead Freckleton in Lancashire, England, with the aircraft descending from 34,992 feet to 1,300 feet over 29 minutes and a distance of 119 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 04 at EGAC George Best Belfast City Airport came from the southwest at a heading of 35.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 04 at EGAC George Best Belfast City Airport took place smoothly, with a runway length of 1,737 meters. The threshold height and speed were good, with a touchdown distance of 431 meters and a speed of 115 knots. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -556 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 17.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather at the time of landing indicated a temperature of 8°C with a wind speed of 19 knots coming from 0°, resulting in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 15 knots. The total landing distance covered 779 meters, which was 45% of the runway length, with a misalignment of 17.0 meters during the runway rollout.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 3 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance for the journey was 292 nautical miles, which took 85 minutes to complete. The aircraft consumed 3,116 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
