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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,645 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,645 m of the 3,092 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 431 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 17 at ENBR Bergen Airport, Flesland, a movement that lasted 9 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 17, the Airbus A321 accelerated to a liftoff speed of 154 kt, using 992 m of runway, which represented 37 % of the available length; local weather reported a temperature of 14 °C, wind 14 kt from 170°, with a headwind component of 14 kt and no cross-wind.
Climb commenced 1 mile south of Flesland, with the aircraft ascending from 1,089 ft asl to 36,583 ft asl, a gain of 35,494 ft achieved in 24 minutes while covering 172 nm.
The first cruise segment began 24 nm south of Spangereid, lasting 22 minutes and traversing 180 nm at level flight.
Descent started 4 nm north of Augustenborg, where the airplane reduced altitude from 36,590 ft asl to 8,986 ft asl, a loss of 27,604 ft over 10 minutes and 72 nm.
A brief cruise over Kukels in Schleswig-Holstein lasted 2 minutes and covered 8 nm before the next descent phase.
The subsequent descent began over Schieren, Schleswig-Holstein, with the aircraft descending from 9,002 ft asl to 1,388 ft asl, a decrease of 7,614 ft in 7 minutes while traveling 27 nm.
Final approach to runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was conducted from the north-east on a heading of 230.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,339 ft agl.
Landing on runway 23 was executed with a threshold speed of 139 kt, a touchdown distance of 433 m, and a touchdown speed of 133 kt; the aircraft’s vertical speed at touchdown was minus 237 fpm, and alignment was very good, resulting in a total landing distance of 1,571 m, equivalent to 51 % of the runway length; local weather at the time showed a temperature of 13 °C.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect as the aircraft decelerated to a stop.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 468 nm, required 83 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 4,011 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A321 conducted the final approach to runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport from the north-east, maintaining a heading of 230.0° at 4 nm and 1,339 ft agl. The overall score was 99.0 % and the threshold height was reported as good.
At the threshold the aircraft’s speed was slightly above target at 139 kt and the threshold height remained good.
Touchdown occurred 433 m down the runway, a distance described as good, with a touchdown speed of 133 kt that was a little fast. The vertical speed at touchdown was fair at minus 237 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 1,571 m, representing 51 % of the 3,092 m runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
Refine speed control to bring the threshold speed and touchdown speed closer to their targets, which will further tighten the already high score. Maintaining the current alignment and distance performance will preserve the excellent overall result.
