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 2,797 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 226 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 26R at EKYT Aalborg Airport, with a takeoff distance of 934 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles southwest of Vadum in the North Denmark Region, Denmark. The climb took place from an initial altitude of 1,003 feet above sea level to 11,890 feet above sea level, an increase of 10,888 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles south of Skorping in the North Denmark Region, Denmark. This phase lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 29 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles east of Hammel in Region Midtjylland, Denmark. The descent took place from an altitude of 12,000 feet above sea level to 1,553 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,448 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 39 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 27 at EKBI Billund Airport from the east, heading 267.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,313 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 27, which has a length of 2,797 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 145 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 226 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 139 knots. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -794 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The total flight distance was 93 nautical miles, taking a total of 29 minutes, and the aircraft used 19 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at EKBI Billund Airport, achieving a score of 93.6%. The final approach to runway 27 was conducted from the east, heading 267.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,313 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 145 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 226 meters, which is within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 139 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly over-extended during the landing. The touchdown rate of -794 feet per minute (fpm) was also quite heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have been experiencing a high rate of descent during the final stages of the approach.
Despite these minor issues, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a light headwind of 1 knot from 269°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 764 meters was 27% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's rotation and deceleration during the landing.
Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at EKBI Billund Airport was a successful one, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 93.6%. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and rate, the pilot's overall performance was satisfactory, and the aircraft was able to stop safely and efficiently after touchdown.
