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.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,951 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 467 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a British Aerospace 146-200, then departed from runway 36 at YMAV Avalon Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,179 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 132 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 249 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead YMAV Avalon Airport Lara in the state of Victoria, Australia. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,035 feet above sea level to 26,945 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,911 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 54 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles south west of Clunes in the state of Victoria, Australia. This phase lasted for 38 minutes and covered a distance of 238 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 10 miles south of YBAK Brooklands Air Park Brooklands in the state of South Australia, Australia. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 26,799 feet above sea level to 1,257 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,542 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 51 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at YPAD Adelaide International Airport was made from the north east, with a heading of 230.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,237 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 23, which had a length of 2,951 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 132 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 469 meters, and the touchdown speed was 120 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was good at -171 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 15 knots at 240 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 15 knots. The total landing distance was 1,203 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 351 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 84 minutes. The aircraft used 2,931 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The British Aerospace 146-200 aircraft successfully landed at YPAD Adelaide International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.9%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, heading 230.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,237 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 132 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 469 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute was good, suggesting a gentle and stable landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.5 meters, which may require some adjustments in the approach and landing procedures. However, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 13°C and a headwind of 15 knots at 240°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, which further contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,203 meters was 41% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well under control during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability during the approach and landing phases.
