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 1,524 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 342 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 17 at ENBR Bergen Airport, Flesland, with a takeoff distance of 1,020 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 163 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 40 knots at 139 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 20 knots and a headwind of 35 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Flesland, and continued to climb from an altitude of 1,209 feet above sea level to 35,894 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,685 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 122 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 5 miles south-west of Hauge i Dalane, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its first descent, which started 13 miles south of Vestbygd, and descended from 35,854 feet above sea level to 34,066 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,788 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 24 miles south of Vanse, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 62 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its second descent, which started 25 miles west of Thyboron, and descended from 34,243 feet above sea level to 1,504 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,738 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 86 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at EKBI Billund Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 267.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,266 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 27 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 342 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 128 knots, but the touchdown rate was firm at -322 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 190 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,386 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 315 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 66 minutes. The aircraft used 3,068 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at EKBI Billund Airport, achieving a high score of 97.7%. 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 1,266 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 127 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 342 meters, which is within the expected range. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly higher than the ideal speed, indicating that the aircraft may have touched down with a bit more force than necessary. The touchdown rate of -322 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft's wheels may have experienced a moderate impact upon touchdown.
One notable aspect of the landing was the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 3.4 meters off-centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a minor error in the pilot's alignment with the runway centerline. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 190°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The total landing distance of 1,386 meters was 50% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft came to a stop within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
