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 1,828 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,828 m of the 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 584 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Milano Linate Airport, taking 13 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 36, with a takeoff distance of 1,309 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 10°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 30°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the Idroscalo Milan, a height of 1,403 feet above sea level. It climbed to a height of 31,326 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,923 feet, in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north-west of Madonna, a town in the Trentino-Alto Adige region of Italy, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Sautens, a town in the Tirol region of Austria. It descended from a height of 31,364 feet above sea level to 17,795 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,568 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 44 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again, this time overhead Ronsberg, a town in the Bavaria region of Germany, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 103 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent once more, starting 1 mile east of the Mosbach-Lohrbach Airfield in Mosbach, a town in the Baden-Wuerttemberg region of Germany. It descended from a height of 17,959 feet above sea level to 1,649 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,310 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 44 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25L at Frankfurt Airport took place from the east, with a heading of 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,298 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 25L, which had a length of 3,984 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 137 knots.
The touchdown point was 161 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was fair at -207 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 4°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 172°, with a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,739 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 325 nautical miles, taking 71 minutes, and the aircraft used -102 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 25L at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) with a score of 98.2%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,298 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was conducted with a good threshold speed of 137 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 161 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal point. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -207 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a slightly more gradual descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 172°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 1 knot, which did not significantly impact the landing. The runway length of 3,984 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,739 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. Similarly, the runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
