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 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 2,447 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 510 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 LIEA Alghero-Fertilia Airport, taking approximately 6 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 20, with a takeoff distance of 1,403 meters, which is 47% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 152 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 11 knots at 210 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 11 knots. The enroute climb started overhead LIEA Alghero-Fertilia Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 329 meters above sea level to 8,797 meters above sea level, an increase of 8,468 meters in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 22 miles southwest of Serra-di-Ferro, France, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 133 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 39 miles south of Portofino, Italy, descending from 8,960 meters above sea level to 494 meters above sea level, a decrease of 8,466 meters in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 103 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at LIML Milano Linate Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 356 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 385.4 meters above ground level. The landing took place on runway 36, which has a length of 2,447 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 137 knots. However, the touchdown point was 100 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 135 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -1.2 meters per second.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 138 degrees, with a crosswind component of 1 knot and a tailwind component of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,212 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 294 nautical miles, taking a total of 57 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,019 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LIML Milano Linate Airport, achieving a score of 96.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 356.0° at 4 nautical miles and 385.4 meters above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 137 knots.
However, there were a few areas for improvement. The touchdown point was 100 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly further down the runway than intended. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the slightly higher than ideal touchdown rate of -1.2 meters per second.
Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the approach. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 6°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 138°.
The total landing distance of 1,212 meters was 50% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's weight and the runway's length of 2,447 meters. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the rollout.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were a few areas for improvement that the pilots and air traffic controllers can work on to achieve a higher score.
