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 1,803 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,803 m of the 2,378 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 345 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a British Aerospace 146-200, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at YPAD Adelaide International Airport. This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 23, with a takeoff distance of 776 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 133 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 230 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Glenelg North in the state of South Australia, Australia. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,072 feet above sea level to 23,966 feet above sea level, an increase of 22,894 feet, in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 26 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 11 miles northeast of Port Vincent in the state of South Australia, Australia. This phase lasted for 29 minutes and covered a distance of 184 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 5 miles southeast of YOKH Oakden Hills Mt Gunson in the state of South Australia, Australia. During this descent, the aircraft decreased its altitude from 24,357 feet above sea level to 2,283 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,074 feet, in 10 minutes and covering a distance of 48 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 10 miles north of YPWR Woomera Airfield Woomera in the state of South Australia, Australia. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 18 at YPWR Woomera Airfield, approaching from the north at a heading of 186.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,304 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 18 at YPWR Woomera Airfield was successful, with a runway length of 2,378 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 123 knots. The touchdown distance was 347 meters, and the touchdown speed was 112 knots, both of which were good. The touchdown rate was also good at -177 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 190 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 12 knots. The total landing distance was 1,715 meters, which accounted for 72% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft then taxiied to the parking area from the runway, taking 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 272 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 61 minutes. The aircraft used 2,212 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The British Aerospace 146-200 aircraft successfully landed at YPWR Woomera Airfield, achieving a high score of 99.1%. The final approach to runway 18 was conducted from the north, with the aircraft heading 186.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,304 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed smoothly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 123 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits, measuring 347 meters. The touchdown speed of 112 knots was within the desired range, and the touchdown rate of -177 feet per minute was also satisfactory.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft landing 4.4 meters off the centerline. This minor misalignment did not seem to affect the overall performance of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 190°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 12 knots, which likely contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,715 meters was 72% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance available. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot demonstrating good control and judgment throughout the maneuver.
