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.
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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,881 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 518 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 26 at EGNS Isle of Man Airport, where the Airbus A319 took off with a takeoff distance of 830 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 22 knots from a direction of 218 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 17 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,040 feet above sea level to 19,881 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,841 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 37 nautical miles. The climb started overhead Castletown, Isle of Man. Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 7 minutes and covered 40 nautical miles, starting 19 miles north of Llandudno in Wales.
The aircraft then began its descent from 19,954 feet above sea level to 15,187 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,767 feet in 5 minutes, covering 26 nautical miles. This descent started 1 mile southwest of Saughall in Cheshire West and Chester, England. After the initial descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise, which lasted for 7 minutes and covered 36 nautical miles, starting 1 mile southwest of Ruyton-XI-Towns in Shropshire, England.
The final descent began 1 mile northeast of Eardisley in Herefordshire, England, where the aircraft descended from 15,228 feet above sea level to 1,882 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,346 feet in 13 minutes, covering 49 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 27 at EGGD Bristol Airport, approaching from the east with a heading of 267.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,264 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 27 at EGGD Bristol Airport was successful, with a touchdown point 80 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 123 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -156 feet per minute, also good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 280 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 982 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in just 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 193 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 46 minutes, during which the aircraft used 1,652 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at EGGD Bristol Airport, achieving a high score of 98.9%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 267.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 27, which has a length of 1,881 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 134 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown point was 80 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within the acceptable limits.
The touchdown speed of 123 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -156 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the acceptable range. This indicates that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and maintain control during the landing phase. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill in aligning the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 280°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but they were able to manage the aircraft safely.
The total landing distance was 982 meters, which is 52% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and safely. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill in maintaining control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, and the pilot was able to bring the Airbus A319 to a safe stop on the runway. The high score of 98.9% reflects the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's performance during the landing phase.
