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 2,464 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 428 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 A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Jorge Chavez International Airport in Peru. This process took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 16, with the aircraft taking off after covering 26 meters, which was just 1% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots at 200 degrees. The crosswind was 10 knots, while the headwind was also 10 knots. The enroute climb began overhead Carmen De La Legua Reynoso, Callao, Peru, where the aircraft started its ascent from an altitude of 1,138 feet above sea level to 37,532 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 127 nautical miles, took 23 minutes and resulted in an increase of 36,394 feet in altitude.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles south east of Huarmey, Ancash, Peru. This phase lasted for 40 minutes and covered a distance of 297 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 28 miles south east of Bernal, Piura, Peru, where the aircraft started its descent from 37,534 feet above sea level to 1,610 feet above sea level. This descent, which covered a distance of 90 nautical miles, took 18 minutes and resulted in a decrease of 35,925 feet in altitude.
The final approach to runway 17 at Captain Victor Montes Arias International Airport took place from the north, with the aircraft heading at 171.0 degrees and being 4 nautical miles away from the runway. The landing on runway 17 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 128 knots and a touchdown rate of -60 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 429 meters, which was within the acceptable limits. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as during takeoff, with a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots at 200 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 12 knots. The total landing distance was 1,281 meters, which was 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centreline.
The flight concluded with the aircraft taxiing to the parking area from the runway, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 523 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 99 minutes. The aircraft used 3,863 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
