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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,343 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 421 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 26R at Munich Airport (EDDM) in a duration of 9 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 26R, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 2,519 m, representing 63 % of the runway length, and achieved liftoff at 146 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 14 °C, wind 2 kt from 29 °, with a 1 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt tailwind.
The initial en-route climb commenced overhead Munich, ascending from 1,871 ft asl to 30,009 ft asl - a gain of 28,139 ft - over 14 minutes while traversing 71 nm.
A short cruise segment began 1 mile south-west of Rohr and lasted 3 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 24 nm at level flight.
A second climb segment started 1 mile east of Markt Taschendorf, raising the altitude from 30,009 ft asl to 34,016 ft asl, an increase of 4,007 ft achieved in 5 minutes over a distance of 36 nm.
The subsequent cruise phase originated 1 mile south of Bad Bocklet and persisted for 74 minutes, during which 498 nm were flown at cruise altitude.
Descent began 1 mile north of Hartlepool, England, with the aircraft descending from 34,033 ft asl to 1,397 ft asl - a loss of 32,636 ft - in 19 minutes while covering 109 nm.
The final approach to runway 24 at Edinburgh Airport (EGPH) was executed from the north-east, on a heading of 239.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,274 ft agl. The approach descent continued from 1,323 ft agl to 48 ft agl in 110 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 24 was performed with a threshold speed of 134 kt, a touchdown distance of 423 m and a touchdown speed of 125 kt. The touchdown rate was smooth at minus 110 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Local weather reported a temperature of 18 °C, wind 10 kt from 240 °, with a 0 kt crosswind and a 10 kt headwind. The total landing distance recorded was 1,304 m, equivalent to 56 % of the runway length.
Runway rollout proceeded with perfect alignment, confirming the aircraft remained on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 752 nm, required 130 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 4,954 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320ceo established a final approach to runway 24 at EGPH Edinburgh Airport from the north-east, tracking a heading of 239.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,274 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits, and the aircraft descended from 1,323 ft agl to 48 ft agl in 110 seconds.
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold speed was slightly above target at 134 kt and the threshold height was good. The flare produced a touchdown point 423 m down the runway.
At touchdown the aircraft’s speed was a little fast at 125 kt, but the touchdown rate was smooth at minus 110 fpm and runway-touchdown alignment was perfect. Total landing distance was 1,304 m, representing 56 % of the 2,343 m runway.
The rollout continued with perfect runway-rollout alignment and no deviation from the centreline.
Coaching focus should be on reducing the threshold and touchdown speeds to their targets, which will tighten the energy profile without compromising safety. Fine-tuning flare timing will help achieve the desired speed while preserving the smooth rate of descent.
