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 5,142 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,142 ft of the 12,040 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,386 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight involved an Airbus A320 aircraft, taking off from runway 15L at George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport (KIAH). Taxiing from the parking bay to the runway took around 10 minutes and covered approximately 2 nautical miles. At 75 degrees Fahrenheit and with a runway takeoff distance of 6,940 feet, which was 58 percent of the runway length, the aircraft departed.
As the plane began its ascent, it started climbing 3 miles east of Aldine, Texas, and reached an altitude of 34,022 feet above sea level (asl), increasing its altitude by 32,938 feet within 18 minutes while covering 102 nautical miles. It transitioned to a cruise level and flew northwest of Buffalo, Texas, staying at that altitude for 78 minutes, covering an additional 526 nautical miles.
As the plane approached its destination, it started descending from an altitude of 34,200 feet asl to 6,646 feet asl, a decrease of 27,554 feet in 28 minutes, covering 123 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34R at Denver International Airport (KDEN) began when the plane was 4 nautical miles and 1,284 feet above ground level heading directly at the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft executed a smooth touchdown, with the touchdown point located 1,042 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone. The plane touched down at a speed of 128 knots, within target. However, the touchdown rate, at -268 feet per minute, was not considered excellent. The runway alignment and touchdown position were spot on, taking into account the local weather conditions of 56 degrees Fahrenheit, a wind speed of 3 knots at 250 degrees with a very minor tailwind of 1 knot and minor crosswind of 2 knots.
Following a successful landing and taxiing to the parking area from the runway took an additional 11 minutes, covering 1 nautical mile. Overall, the flight had a distance of 763 nautical miles, took 148 minutes to complete, and utilized 12,263 pounds of fuel throughout its journey.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 34R at KDEN Denver International Airport, achieving a score of 93.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 1.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on the designated runway.
Upon landing, the threshold height was found to be above the target, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly higher than intended. However, the threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 139 knots, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent. The touchdown point was located 1,042 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance but still within the acceptable range.
The touchdown speed of 128 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft was brought to a safe and controlled stop. However, the touchdown rate of -268 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought to a more gradual stop. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 56°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the tailwind component was negligible at 1 knot. The total landing distance of 4,898 feet was 41% of the runway length, which is a relatively long distance but still within the acceptable range.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained excellent control and management of the aircraft's speed and direction. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 93.8% and demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent and rollout.
