Monitor your 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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,199 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,199 ft of the 10,034 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,283 ft 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 19R at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand. The takeoff distance was 5,195 feet, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 163 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Suvarnabhumi Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 82°F temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 0°. The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,039 feet above sea level to 2,689 feet, an increase of 1,650 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles south of Suvarnabhumi Airport and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb 2 miles north of Bang Bo District, where it climbed from 3,029 feet to 36,370 feet, an increase of 33,341 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 153 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 33 miles south of Battambang, Cambodia, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 5 miles southeast of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, where it descended from 36,822 feet to 2,614 feet, a decrease of 34,209 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 104 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 1 mile west of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 3 miles southwest of Bien Hoa, Vietnam, where it descended from 2,568 feet to 1,354 feet, a decrease of 1,214 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25L at Tan Son Nhat International Airport was made from the east, heading 248.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,311 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 25L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,289 feet and a touchdown speed of 132 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -229 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 79°F temperature and a wind speed of 0 knots at 360°. The crosswind and headwind were both 0 knots. The total landing distance was 4,969 feet, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 408 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 79 minutes. The aircraft used 7,009 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at VVTS Tan Son Nhat International Airport on runway 25L, achieving a high score of 99.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 248.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,311 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 139 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 1,289 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the landing phase. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was also within the acceptable limits, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and expertise.
However, the touchdown rate of -229 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have maintained a more gradual descent rate. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 0 knots at 360°. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even more challenging. The total landing distance of 4,969 feet was 50% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft during the rollout phase and had brought it to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and expertise in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
