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 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,464 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 469 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Jorge Chavez International Airport, taking approximately 10 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching the runway, the aircraft departed from runway 16, with a takeoff distance of 1,872 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 167 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 169 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb from an altitude of 1,139 feet above sea level to 37,376 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,237 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 112 nautical miles. The climb started overhead Carmen De La Legua Reynoso, a town located in Callao, Peru. Following the climb, the aircraft entered its enroute level cruise phase, which began 19 miles southeast of Huarmey, a town in Ancash, Peru. This phase lasted for 40 minutes and covered a distance of 302 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent from an altitude of 37,456 feet above sea level to 1,271 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,185 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles. The descent started 36 miles southeast of Sechura, a town in Piura, Peru. Upon reaching the final approach phase, the aircraft was heading towards runway 17 at Captain Victor Montes Arias International Airport, flying at an altitude of 988 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft landed on runway 17, with a runway length of 2,464 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 138 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 462 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 130 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -354 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots at 220 degrees.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 1 minute to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 521 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 93 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,760 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Captain Victor Montes Arias International Airport, achieving a score of 97.5%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 171.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 988 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 17, which has a length of 2,464 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it touched down on the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 138 knots, which may have been due to various factors such as wind resistance or the aircraft's weight. The touchdown distance of 462 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown.
Despite the good touchdown distance, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was a little fast, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate. The touchdown rate of -354 feet per minute (fpm) was indeed firm, but this may have been due to the aircraft's speed at the time of touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the time of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and wind speeds of 14 knots at 220°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. These wind conditions may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing, but the pilot was able to manage them effectively.
The total landing distance of 1,369 meters was 56% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown and come to a stop within a short distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot was able to achieve a high score of 97.5%. The aircraft's performance was good, and the pilot's skills were evident in the way they managed the approach and landing.
