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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,501 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 497 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, taking 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport, from where it departed on runway 04R. The takeoff distance covered 40% of the runway and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 142 knots.
As the aircraft began its enroute climb, it ascended from a height of 1,058 feet above sea level to 29,453 feet above sea level, a significant increase of 28,396 feet. This climb took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 94 nautical miles, starting 1 mile northeast of LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport.
After the initial climb, the aircraft reached its cruise altitude and levelled off for 14 minutes, covering 140 nautical miles. This cruise period began around 2 miles east of Baiso in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The aircraft then underwent a series of climbs, descents, and level cruises, with notable stops including a climb from 22,713 feet above sea level to 29,190 feet above sea level over 7 minutes and a descent from 28,815 feet above sea level to 1,778 feet above sea level over 22 minutes.
The enroute level cruise period started around 1 mile northwest of Bonson, France, covering an additional 154 nautical miles over 13 minutes. The final approach took the aircraft towards runway 32L at LFBO Toulouse-Blagnac Airport from the southeast, descending from a height of 1,275 feet above ground level at a distance of 4 nautical miles.
Upon reaching the runway, the aircraft landed successfully, touching down 70 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 109 knots. The touchdown rate was -175 feet per minute, which was deemed to be good. The total landing distance covered 945 meters, or 27% of the runway, which was 3,501 meters long.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and crosswind of 5 knots and headwind of 9 knots, were suitable for landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
Following the successful landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking from the runway, taking 6 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 514 nautical miles, covering a total flight duration of 94 minutes and using 4,241 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, an RJ85, successfully landed on runway 32L at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (LFBO) in a highly efficient manner, scoring a commendable 99.8%. During its final approach, the aircraft was heading 322.0° from the southeast, 4 nautical miles away and at an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl).
As the RJ85 continued its descent, it maintained good threshold height and adhered to the predetermined threshold speed of 123 knots. Upon touching down 70 meters beyond the touchdown zone, the aircraft landed with a satisfactory touchdown speed of 109 knots. The touchdown rate of -175 feet per minute was also well within the desired parameters, indicating a smooth and gentle landing.
The landing was further enhanced by perfect runway touchdown alignment, a crucial aspect of a safe and efficient landing procedure. Furthermore, the aircraft experienced favorable weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and wind speeds of 11 knots, primarily from the northeast (353°). This resulted in a relatively minor crosswind component of 5 knots and a significant headwind component of 9 knots, contributing to an improved landing performance.
Notably, the RJ85's total landing distance of 945 meters was merely 27% of the runway's available length of 3,501 meters. This is a testament to the aircraft's effective landing performance, demonstrating its ability to land safely and efficiently within the available runway length. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was extremely well-handled by the pilots, resulting in a smooth transition from the landing to the taxi phase.
In summary, the RJ85's landing on runway 32L at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport was an exemplary display of aviation skills, with a near-perfect execution of the entire landing procedure. The aircraft's ability to adapt to the prevailing weather conditions and navigate the runway with precision and control is a significant accomplishment, underscoring the expertise and teamwork of the pilots involved.
