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 152 m above the runway. The 305 m 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 3,591 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 258 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A320 aircraft. The pre-flight taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 18 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 09R at Charles de Gaulle International Airport (LFPG) in Paris, France.
Upon takeoff, the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 153 knots, with a takeoff distance of 22 meters, which is just 1% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb from an initial altitude of 424 meters above sea level (asl) to a maximum altitude of 7,315 meters asl. This climb phase covered a distance of 25 nautical miles and took approximately 10 minutes to complete. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, which lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 15 miles west of Equihen-Plage in France, where the aircraft descended from 7,314 meters asl to 1,274 meters asl. This descent phase covered a distance of 75 nautical miles and took approximately 14 minutes to complete. The aircraft then leveled off again and entered another cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began overhead Eversley in England, where the aircraft descended from 1,220 meters asl to 912 meters asl. This descent phase covered a distance of 5 nautical miles and took approximately 2 minutes to complete. The aircraft then leveled off again and entered another cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09L at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL) was made from the west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 90 degrees and an altitude of 401.7 meters above ground level (agl). The landing was made on the runway, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 122 knots and a distance of 257 meters. The touchdown rate was smooth at -0.7 meters per second.
The total landing distance was 1,331 meters, which is 37% of the runway length. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7 meters. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned from the centerline by 17.3 meters.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 238 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 68 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2,334 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed on runway 09L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, achieving a high score of 93.2%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 90.0° at an altitude of 401.7 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 122 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 125 knots. The touchdown distance of 257 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -0.7 meters per second was also smooth, suggesting a stable and predictable landing.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.0 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's approach path. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 17.3 meters from the centerline, which could be due to the aircraft's braking performance or the pilot's control inputs.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C, which may have affected the aircraft's performance. Nevertheless, the overall landing performance was considered good, with the aircraft coming to a stop within 1,331 meters of the runway, which is 37% of the runway length. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with some minor areas for improvement.
