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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,489 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,018 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a FFX P180, then departed from runway 06 at UUWW Vnukovo International Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,380 feet, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 118 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 28 °F, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 79°.
As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, starting overhead Vnukovo (Moskva, Russia). The climb from 1,725 feet above sea level to 7,000 feet above sea level was achieved in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles south west of Tyoply Stan (Moskva, Russia), and lasted for 4 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles.
The enroute climb continued, starting overhead Klimovsk (Moscow Oblast, Russia), where the aircraft climbed from 7,529 feet above sea level to 35,742 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,213 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 69 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 14 miles south of Zaraysk (Moscow Oblast, Russia), and lasted for 66 minutes, covering 659 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 10 miles north east of Arkhyz (Karachayevo-Cherkesiya, Russia). The descent from 35,689 feet above sea level to 1,959 feet above sea level was achieved in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 74 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a final level cruise, starting 5 miles south west of Adler (Krasnodarskiy Kray, Russia), and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at URSS Sochi International Airport was made from the south west, heading 65.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,163 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 608 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 92 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -58 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 43 °F, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 80°.
The total landing distance was 3,406 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 830 nautical miles, taking 117 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,900 pounds of fuel.
The aircraft, identified as FFX P180 03 01, successfully landed at URSS Sochi International Airport on runway 06. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 65.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,163 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, with a score of 97.8%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 92 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 117 knots. The touchdown point was located 608 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun but still within a safe margin. The touchdown rate of -58 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, showcasing the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 43°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 80°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the approach and landing. The runway length of 9,489 feet provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely.
The total landing distance of 3,406 feet was 36% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a safe stop. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, showcasing the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
