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 2,442 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 501 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 02 at Toncontín International Airport, MHTG. The aircraft, an EasyJet FWB, accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 1,287 meters, which was 77% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 143 knots, and the aircraft lifted off the ground smoothly.
As the aircraft climbed out of Toncontín, it encountered local weather conditions of 24°C temperature and a 5-knot wind blowing from the north. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The aircraft climbed to an altitude of 25,947 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,828 feet from its initial altitude of 4,119 feet. This climb took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles.
Once the aircraft reached its cruising altitude, it leveled off and began a 7-minute cruise, covering a distance of 42 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 6 miles northwest of Guinope, Honduras. After completing the cruise, the aircraft began its descent, which started 2 miles southeast of Corpus, Honduras. The descent took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 80 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 26,085 feet to 1,574 feet above sea level.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Augusto C. Sandino International Airport, MNMG, it began its final approach to runway 10 from the west. The aircraft was heading 97.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway and at an altitude of 1,368 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 30°C temperature and a 7-knot wind blowing from the northwest. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 10, which was 2,442 meters long. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed at 135 knots, but the touchdown point was 84 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was good, but the touchdown rate was fair at -224 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 144 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 42 minutes. The aircraft used 1,373 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as FWB EasyJet, successfully landed at the MNMG Augusto C. Sandino (Managua) International Airport, achieving a score of 99.1%. The final approach to runway 10 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 97.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,368 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 84 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal spot. However, the touchdown speed of 126 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -224 feet per minute was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a more gradual descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 30°C and a gentle wind of 7 knots from a direction of 80°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,293 meters was 53% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping power to come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases.
