Keep the approach speed on target
Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,498 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,498 m of the 3,297 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 374 m touchdown sits inside 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 01 at EBBR Brussels Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,133 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 163 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots at 9 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,135 feet above sea level to 34,818 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,683 feet in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 95 nautical miles. The climb started overhead Steenokkerzeel in Flanders, Belgium. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 36 minutes and covered a distance of 256 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 1 mile south east of Kirchweiler in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent from 35,255 feet above sea level to 12,606 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,649 feet in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 76 nautical miles. This descent started 2 miles north east of Riedering in Bavaria, Germany. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 3 minutes and covered a distance of 20 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 2 miles east of Malta in Kaernten, Austria.
The aircraft then began its final descent from 11,338 feet above sea level to 10,086 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,252 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. This descent started 2 miles south of Gnesau in Kaernten, Austria. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 3 minutes and covered a distance of 17 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 1 mile east of Schiefling am See in Kaernten, Austria.
The aircraft then began its final descent from 10,095 feet above sea level to 2,468 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,627 feet in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. This descent started overhead Golnik in Kranj, Slovenia. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 30 at LJLJ Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport from the south east, heading 307.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,216 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 30 at LJLJ Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport, which had a length of 3,297 meters. The threshold height at 58 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 179 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 378 meters, and the touchdown speed at 168 knots was excessively fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -311 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 109 degrees.
The total landing distance was 2,437 meters, which accounted for 74% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 495 nautical miles, and the flight duration was
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport, with a score of 88.6%. The final approach to runway 30 was initiated from the south east, heading 307.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,216 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 3,297 meters.
However, there were some areas of concern during the landing. The threshold height at 58 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high on its approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was excessively high at 179 knots, which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and brakes. The touchdown speed of 168 knots was also excessively fast, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate.
Despite these issues, the touchdown distance was good at 378 meters, and the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 109°. The crosswind was negligible, and there was a slight tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,437 meters, which is 74% of the runway length. This is a relatively short distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, while there were some areas of concern during the landing, the pilot was able to successfully bring the aircraft to a stop on the runway. With some adjustments to the approach and touchdown speed, the pilot may be able to improve the score and achieve a more optimal landing.
