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 3,411 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 219 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 34L at Adnan Menderes International Airport (LTBJ). The Airbus A320 took off with a takeoff distance of 999 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,421 feet above sea level (asl) to 28,830 ft asl, an increase of 27,409 feet in just 9 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 47 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 3 miles east of Bademli, Turkey, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 26 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 29,002 ft asl to 27,286 ft asl, a decrease of 1,716 feet in 2 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 7 miles east of Karacasu, Turkey, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb from 27,000 ft asl to 28,428 ft asl, an increase of 1,428 feet in 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute level cruise, which started 3 miles south of Serinhisar, Turkey, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles.
The final descent began 8 miles east of Acipayam, Turkey, and took the aircraft from 29,002 ft asl to 1,438 ft asl, a decrease of 27,565 feet in 12 minutes, covering 67 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 18L at Antalya International Airport (LTAI) from the north, heading 185.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,253 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing on runway 18L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 220 meters and a touchdown speed of 145 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown rate was heavy at -631 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 832 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 195 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 40 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LTAI Antalya International Airport, achieving a score of 93.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 185.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,253 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 18L, which has a length of 3,411 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 147 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's approach speed being slightly higher than intended. The touchdown distance of 220 meters was within acceptable limits, but the touchdown speed of 145 knots was faster than desired. This resulted in a heavy touchdown rate of -631 feet per minute (fpm), which may have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.0 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and no headwind.
The total landing distance of 832 meters was 24% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
