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 3,044 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 334 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 24 at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,361 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 179 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Chilly-Mazarin in the Ile-de-France region of France. The climb took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 93 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,318 feet above sea level to 29,825 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 2 miles northwest of Auxi-le-Chateau in the Hauts-de-France region of France. This phase of the flight lasted for 127 minutes and covered a distance of 1,027 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 20 miles south of Vik i Myrdal in the Sudurland region of Iceland. The descent took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 107 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 28,936 feet to 1,423 feet.
The final approach to runway 01 at BIKF Keflavik International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 0.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 01, which had a length of 3,044 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 148 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 337 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 139 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -196 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 45 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The total landing distance was 1,419 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 1,236 nautical miles and took 173 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 8,464 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Keflavik International Airport (BIKF) on runway 01, achieving a high score of 97.7%. The final approach was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading directly towards the runway at an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 139 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 337 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and accurate approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 45 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 13 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,419 meters was 47% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop in a stable and controlled manner. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
