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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,130 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 337 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Sarajevo International Airport (LQSA). This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 29, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,093 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 1°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 320 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb started overhead LQSA Sarajevo International Airport and continued to an altitude of 19,284 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,623 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 5 miles southwest of Sport Airfield Nisici (LQNI) and lasted for 22 minutes, covering a distance of 148 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 32 miles west of Komiza (Split-Dalmatia, Croatia). The descent from 19,220 feet to 1,321 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,899 feet in 12 minutes, covered a distance of 55 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at Abruzzo Airport (LIBP) was made from the northeast, heading 217.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,267 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway length of 2,130 meters, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 130 knots, while the touchdown distance was good at 336 meters. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 123 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -265 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 10°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 309 degrees, with a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,281 meters, which was 60% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 222 nautical miles, taking 48 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,053 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at LIBP Abruzzo Airport, achieving a score of 97.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 217.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 22, which has a length of 2,130 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 130 knots. The touchdown distance of 336 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 123 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -265 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 309°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was zero.
The total landing distance of 1,281 meters was 60% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the target parameters.
