Slow the descent speed
See Enroute Descent
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,623 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,623 m of the 2,790 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 351 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at ENBR Bergen Airport, Flesland, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 35, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,026 meters, which was 42% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of -3°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 70°. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead Flesland, with the aircraft ascending from 1,188 feet above sea level to 33,863 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,675 feet in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 4 miles west of Hauge i Dalane, lasting 18 minutes and covering 145 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 9 miles northwest of Hvide Sande, Denmark, descending from 34,067 feet above sea level to 9,262 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,805 feet in 20 minutes and covering 129 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed overhead Bokel, Germany, lasting 2 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles.
The final descent started 1 mile south of Muehbrook, Germany, with the aircraft descending from 9,064 feet above sea level to 1,325 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,739 feet in 8 minutes and covering 28 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport from the northeast, heading 230.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,274 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 23, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 134 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was good at 353 meters, while the touchdown rate was firm at -387 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -1°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 210°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,536 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 438 nautical miles, taking 82 minutes and using 3,584 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, achieving a high score of 98.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 230.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 23, which has a length of 2,790 meters.
The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it touched down on the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 138 kt, coming in at 139 kt. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The touchdown distance of 353 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown. However, the touchdown speed of 134 kt was a little fast, suggesting that the aircraft may have been able to slow down further before touching down. The touchdown rate of -387 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown effectively.
One minor issue was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. This deviation was not significant enough to impact the overall performance of the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 6 kt from 210°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 6 kt, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,536 meters was 55% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain its direction and speed after touchdown. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and efficiently, with only minor deviations from the target parameters.
