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 2,542 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 457 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Stuttgart Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey on runway 07, taking off with a distance of 1,452 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 154 knots, overcoming the negligible headwind of 0 knots and a slight crosswind of 1 knot. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 359 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it traversed a distance of 48 nautical miles in 9 minutes, covering an altitude increase of 20,581 feet from 1,982 feet above sea level to 22,563 feet. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 3 miles west of Schopfloch, lasting 30 minutes and covering a distance of 208 nautical miles. Subsequently, the aircraft began its descent from 22,570 feet above sea level to 1,978 feet, a decrease of 20,592 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 22 at Dresden Airport was initiated from the northeast, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 221.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,236 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The Airbus A320 landed on runway 22 at Dresden Airport, with a total landing distance of 1,128 meters, accounting for 44% of the runway length. The touchdown point was 47 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 133 knots and a touchdown rate of -78 feet per minute, both of which were considered excellent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centerline. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 5 minutes. The total flight distance was 296 nautical miles, with a flight time of 51 minutes and a fuel consumption of -3,584 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 22 at EDDC Dresden Airport from the north east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 221.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,236 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 139 knots, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate of -78 feet per minute was exceptional, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The touchdown point was located 47 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, was still within the acceptable range. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control. However, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots, were favorable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,128 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, and the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 98.1%, reflecting the high level of precision and control demonstrated by the pilot throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
