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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,580 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,580 m of the 3,894 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 603 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport. This process took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 07, and the takeoff distance was 1,608 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 159 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 123 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. As the aircraft climbed, it began to ascend from an altitude of 1,244 feet above sea level to 36,176 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,932 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 123 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started overhead Villeneuve-le-Roi in the Ile-de-France region of France. The aircraft then transitioned into a level cruise, which began 2 miles south east of Saint-Blin in the Grand Est region of France. This cruise phase lasted for 51 minutes and covered a distance of 370 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 4 miles west of Pomarance in the Toscana region of Italy. The descent took place from an altitude of 36,855 feet above sea level to 1,314 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,541 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16L at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport was made from the north, heading 163.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,290 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 16L, which had a length of 3,894 meters. The threshold height at 56 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 133 knots. The touchdown point was 187 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 122 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was fair at -244 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 60 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,500 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, which took approximately 14 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The total flight distance was 608 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 111 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,905 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 163.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,290 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 16L, which has a length of 3,894 meters.
The threshold height at 56 feet agl was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed of 133 knots was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was 187 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 122 knots was also good, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. However, the touchdown rate of -244 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than desired.
Despite the minor deviations, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 60°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the tailwind component was only 1 knot, which had a minimal impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,500 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for rollout and that the pilot maintained control throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft scored a high score of 97.5%.
