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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,674 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,674 m of the 2,790 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 650 m past the threshold — beyond 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 18 at ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes, with a takeoff distance of 1,235 meters, which was 62% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 280°. The crosswind component was 13 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Troms, Norway, and climbing from an altitude of 1,033 feet above sea level to 20,130 feet above sea level, an increase of 19,096 feet, in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 60 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 8 miles south of Sjovegan, Norway, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 40 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, starting 9 miles east of Kjopsvik, Norway, and climbing from 20,197 feet above sea level to 34,980 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,782 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 131 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 13 miles southeast of Hauknes, Norway, and lasted for 79 minutes, covering a distance of 643 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile north of Bogense, Denmark, and descending from 36,037 feet above sea level to 1,398 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,639 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 230.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,333 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 23, which had a length of 2,790 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 150 knots.
The touchdown point was 235 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 141 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -223 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 280°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,594 meters, which was 57% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 998 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 144 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 7,324 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, achieving a score of 93.7%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 230.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,333 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 23, which has a length of 2,790 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed of 150 kt, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly too fast as it touched down. The touchdown point was 235 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 141 kt was faster than the ideal speed, resulting in a touchdown rate of -223 feet per minute (fpm), which was considered fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline as it touched down.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21°C, with a wind speed of 14 kt from a direction of 280°. The crosswind component was 11 kt, while the headwind component was 9 kt. These conditions may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed.
The total landing distance was 1,594 meters, which is 57% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well under control as it taxied down the runway.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 93.7%. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown speed and point, which may be areas for improvement in future landings.
