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.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,987 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 432 m touchdown sits inside 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 Bastia-Poretta Airport, taking approximately 9 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 16, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,358 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 163 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, a wind speed of 11 knots at 80°, resulting in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed out of Bastia-Poretta Airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south of the airport, rising from an altitude of 863 feet above sea level to 18,559 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,696 feet, in just 7 minutes and covering a distance of 55 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started over San Vincenzo, Italy, and lasted for 18 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 276 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began over Riegsee, Germany, and saw the aircraft descend from 18,136 feet above sea level to 2,727 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,408 feet, in just 6 minutes and covering a distance of 47 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 26L at Munich Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 264.0° at an altitude of 1,194 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 26L at Munich Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 126 knots and a touchdown distance of 435 meters, which was 31% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was fair at -269 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C, a wind speed of 12 knots at 230°, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking just 1 minute to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 387 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 41 minutes, during which the aircraft used 454 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 264.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,194 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 138 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 435 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the landing phase. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was also within the acceptable limits, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and control.
However, the touchdown rate of -269 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 perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. Despite these challenging weather conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,234 meters was 31% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's descent and touchdown, minimizing the use of runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Airbus A320's landing on runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport was a successful one, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and skill throughout the landing phase. The high score of 98.6% reflects the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's performance under challenging weather conditions.
