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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,360 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 237 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 24 at ENAL Ålesund Airport, Vigra. The Airbus A320 took off with a takeoff distance of 938 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Ålesund Airport, it began its enroute climb 2 miles southwest of the airport. The climb started at an altitude of 1,041 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 26,977 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,936 feet in just 9 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 50 nautical miles during this climb phase.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent 4 miles southwest of Bremsnes. The descent started at an altitude of 26,981 feet above sea level and ended at 13,320 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,661 feet in just 5 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 36 nautical miles during this descent phase.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase 7 miles west of Kyrksaeterora, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. However, this was short-lived, as the aircraft began another descent phase 4 miles east of Kyrksaeterora. The descent started at an altitude of 13,007 feet above sea level and ended at 5,052 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,955 feet in just 3 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 21 nautical miles during this descent phase.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase 7 miles northeast of Gjolme, which lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 32 nautical miles. However, this was followed by another descent phase 2 miles northeast of Hegra. The descent started at an altitude of 4,017 feet above sea level and ended at 1,275 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,743 feet in just 4 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles during this descent phase.
The final approach to runway 27 at ENVA Trondheim Airport, Værnes, was made from the east, heading 270.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,229 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 27, which had a length of 2,360 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 148 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 240 meters, but the touchdown speed was fast at 146 knots. The touchdown rate was heavy at -679 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°.
The total landing distance was 842 meters, which was 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 160 nautical miles, and the flight took 38 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 20 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Trondheim Airport, Værnes, with a score of 94.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,229 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 27, which has a length of 2,360 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 148 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's approach configuration or the pilot's decision to prioritize a safe landing over a precise speed.
The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits, measuring 240 meters. However, the touchdown speed was slightly faster than ideal, coming in at 146 knots. This may have contributed to a heavy touchdown rate of -679 feet per minute (fpm), which is higher than the desired rate. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind of 1 knot. These conditions likely contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance was 842 meters, which is 36% of the runway length. This is a relatively short distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and efficiently. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and rate, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
