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.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,637 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,062 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 10 at Simón Bolívar International Airport (SVMI) in Caracas, Venezuela. The takeoff distance was 5,498 feet, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 92 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 4 knots at 85 degrees. The aircraft experienced a headwind of 4 knots, with no crosswind. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the Simón Bolívar International Airport. The climb took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 128 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,209 feet above sea level to 36,041 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,832 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 16 miles southeast of Willemstad, Curacao. This phase lasted for 123 minutes and covered a distance of 917 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 61 miles southwest of Mangrove Cay, Bahamas. The descent took 30 minutes and covered a distance of 147 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 36,178 feet above sea level to 4,396 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,782 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 7 miles northwest of Lindbergh's Landing Airport in Miami, Florida. This phase lasted for only 4 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 9 miles west of Kendall West, Florida. The descent took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 4,033 feet above sea level to 1,306 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,727 feet.
The final approach to runway 09 at Miami International Airport (KMIA) was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 87.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,287 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 125 knots and a touchdown distance of 1,064 feet. The touchdown rate was firm at -364 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 6 knots at 100 degrees. The aircraft experienced a headwind of 5 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 2,132 feet, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,217 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 198 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 18,662 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, FNX320_TCACFM, successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) on runway 09. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision during the approach, ultimately achieving a good threshold height.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft met the threshold speed of 132 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 1,064 feet was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 125 knots was slightly below the threshold speed, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and control. The touchdown rate of -364 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, but not excessively hard, suggesting a well-executed landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F and a gentle wind of 6 knots from a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach and landing. The runway length of 11,637 feet provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely.
The total landing distance of 2,132 feet was only 18% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, further demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing. Overall, the landing of FNX320_TCACFM at KMIA was a textbook example of a well-executed and safe landing.
