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 2,391 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 312 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 14L at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,380 meters, which is 36% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 25 knots at a direction of 69 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 23 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport. The climb took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 136 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,349 feet above sea level to 36,222 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,873 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Creglingen, Germany. This phase lasted for 129 minutes and covered a distance of 952 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 6 miles northwest of Mesta, Greece. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 107 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 36,036 feet above sea level to 1,813 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,224 feet.
The final approach to runway 14 at LGKO Kos Airport was made from the northwest, heading 148.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,399 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway length of 2,391 meters, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 309 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 128 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -270 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 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 125 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 977 meters, which is 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,200 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 180 minutes. The aircraft used 7,480 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at LGKO Kos Airport, achieving a score of 99.5%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north-west, heading 148.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,399 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 14, which has a length of 2,391 meters.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed that was slightly above the target, at 134 knots. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 309 meters. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, at 128 knots, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -270 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 125°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the successful landing.
The total landing distance was 977 meters, which is 41% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the approach and landing phases. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 99.5%. The pilots demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases, resulting in a safe and efficient landing.
