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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,092 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 477 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A319 then began its departure roll on runway 04R, utilizing 76% of the 2,428-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 143 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 69°, resulting in a 5-knot crosswind and a 13-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from EFHK, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of the airport, ascending from an initial altitude of 1,123 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 35,952 feet, a vertical gain of 34,829 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 114 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 26 miles southwest of Hanko, Finland, and lasted for 56 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 421 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 3 miles north of Stege, Denmark, and saw the aircraft descend from 36,007 feet to 1,395 feet above sea level, a vertical loss of 34,612 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was initiated from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 230.0° at an altitude of 1,314 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was executed on a runway length of 3,092 meters, with the threshold speed slightly above the target at 135 knots. The touchdown point was 53 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 126 knots was a little fast, resulting in a touchdown rate of -268 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 658 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 1 hour and 46 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 3,881 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport from the north east was executed with a heading of 230.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,314 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 135 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed.
The aircraft touched down 53 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate of -268 feet per minute was fair, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 18 knots. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14°C and wind at 21 knots from 290°, contributed to the approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,275 meters was 41% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a straight course along the centreline. Overall, the landing was scored 98.1%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
