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.

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 1,774 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,774 m of the 2,442 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 725 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Punta Cana International Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 09, with a takeoff distance of 122 meters, which accounted for 4% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 25°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 120°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile east of the airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,049 feet above sea level to 19,639 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,590 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 20 miles northeast of Mona Airport, where the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 38 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 3 miles east of Las Marias, where the aircraft descended from 19,649 feet above sea level to 1,298 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,351 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at Luis Munoz Marin International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 90° at 4 nautical miles and 1,278 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 2,442 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 139 knots.
The touchdown point was 334 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -109 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 120°.
The total landing distance was 1,719 meters, accounting for 70% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 11 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 141 nautical miles, taking 39 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,812 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at TJSJ Luis Munoz Marin International Airport, achieving a score of 96.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 10, which has a length of 2,442 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, at a distance of 334 meters from the threshold. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -109 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.1 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 120°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,719 meters was 70% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance.
