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 3,282 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 152 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 22R at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,958 meters, which is 65% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at a direction of 209°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles south of Tarnby in Region Hovedstaden, Denmark. The climb took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 69 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,027 feet above sea level to 30,655 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,629 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 5 miles west of Killeberg in Skane County, Sweden. This cruise phase lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 130 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles southwest of Gusum in Ostergotland County, Sweden. The descent took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 93 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 30,776 feet above sea level to 1,384 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,392 feet.
The final approach to runway 01L at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading at 10.0° at an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 01L, which has a length of 3,282 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 150 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 131 knots. The touchdown rate was very hard at -504 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 4°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 70°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 968 meters, which is 29% 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 less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 301 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 60 minutes. The aircraft used 2,317 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 01L at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, achieving a score of 95.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 10.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 133 kt, registering at 134 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 150 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown. The touchdown speed of 131 kt was a little fast, but not excessively so. The most notable issue was the very hard touchdown rate of -504 feet per minute (fpm), which may have caused some discomfort for the passengers.
Despite the hard touchdown, 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 landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 6 kt from a direction of 70°. The crosswind component was 6 kt, while the headwind component was 3 kt. The total landing distance of 968 meters was 29% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment with the runway was very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft effectively. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown distance and alignment with the runway. However, the hard touchdown rate and slightly fast touchdown speed may require some attention from the pilots to improve the overall landing performance.
