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 4,177 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 4,177 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,108 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.

The climb after takeoff was efficient, reaching 50 ft, 400 ft, and 1,000 ft above ground level in a timely manner. The enroute climb started over Warrington, climbing from 1,026 ft above sea level to 15,010 ft in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nm.
During the level cruise portion of the flight, which lasted 25 minutes and covered 140 nm, the aircraft maintained a steady course 3 miles west of Brownsdale.
