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 1,595 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,595 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 288 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 to the runway, which took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,921 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to a height of 35,415 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 102 nautical miles, took 20 minutes and involved an increase in altitude of 34,382 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 53 minutes and covered a distance of 413 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place 51 miles east of Tamariu, in the region of Catalunya, Spain. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile west of San Pancrazio, in the region of Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy. This descent took the aircraft down from a height of 34,821 feet to 2,761 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,060 feet, in 23 minutes and covered a distance of 109 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08L at EDDM Munich Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading at 83.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 08L was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 135 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown distance was 289 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 150 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,515 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 635 nautical miles, and the flight took a total of 124 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,358 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 08L at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 83.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 139 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 289 meters, which is within the expected range. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force upon touchdown. The touchdown rate of -314 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway with a moderate amount of force.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 150°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain a very good runway touchdown alignment, which is a critical aspect of safe landing operations.
The total landing distance of 1,515 meters was 38% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a safe stop. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
