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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,053 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,053 ft of the 10,923 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,249 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A300 taxied from the parking area to runway 35L at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport, covering 1 nm in 7 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 35L the aircraft used 6,703 ft of runway, representing 58 % of the available length, and lifted off at 166 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 85 °F, wind 1 kt from 263°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind.
Climb commenced 1 mile south of Somma Lombardo, with the flight ascending from 1,771 ft asl to 31,452 ft asl - a gain of 29,681 ft - over 16 minutes while covering 109 nm.
The first cruise segment began overhead Lausanne, lasting 25 minutes and spanning 191 nm.
Descent started over Strassen, with altitude decreasing from 32,001 ft asl to 3,985 ft asl - a loss of 28,016 ft - in 18 minutes and covering 104 nm.
A brief cruise followed over Aarschot, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.
A second descent began over Baal, dropping from 3,660 ft asl to 1,277 ft asl - a loss of 2,383 ft - in 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
The final approach to runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport was executed from the north-east, on a heading of 245.0°, at 4 nm and 1,115 ft agl.
Landing on runway 25R, whose length is 10,938 ft, the aircraft recorded a threshold speed slightly above target at 144 kt. Touchdown occurred at 1,274 ft down the runway, with a speed of 143 kt and a vertical rate of minus 188 fpm. Local weather at the time was a temperature of 70 °F, wind 4 kt from 240°, cross-wind 0 kt and head-wind 3 kt.
The rollout covered 5,819 ft, equivalent to 53 % of the runway.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a movement that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
In total the flight covered 425 nm, required 73 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 14,012 lb of fuel.
The Airbus A300 established a final approach to runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport from the north-east, tracking a heading of 245.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,115 ft agl. Local weather was 70 °F with wind 4 kt from 240 °, giving a 3 kt headwind component and zero crosswind; the threshold height was reported as good.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft’s threshold speed was slightly above target at 144 kt, and the flare produced a good touchdown distance of 1,274 ft on a runway length of 10,938 ft.
Touchdown occurred with a speed of 143 kt, described as fast, and a vertical rate of -188 fpm, which was good. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 5,819 ft, representing 53 % of the runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.
Minor refinements should focus on reducing the threshold speed to the target value and moderating the touchdown speed to match the intended VREF, which will further optimise the landing profile while preserving the already excellent alignment and runway usage.
