Monitor your 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 2,484 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 628 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by Vueling, with the aircraft registration EC-MGZ. The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile (nm).
Departure from Paris-Orly Airport (LFPO) took place on runway 24, with a takeoff distance of 1,896 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 161 knots (kt), and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 3°C, a wind speed of 5 kt at 329°, with no headwind but a 5 kt crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it passed over Chilly-Mazarin in the Ile-de-France region of France, where it began its enroute climb from 1,334 feet above sea level (asl) to 34,123 ft asl, an increase of 32,789 ft in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 89 nm.
The enroute level cruise started approximately 1 mile east of Boursies in the Hauts-de-France region of France and lasted for 25 minutes, covering a distance of 181 nm. The aircraft then began its enroute descent from 33,850 ft asl to 33,351 ft asl, a decrease of 499 ft in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nm.
The enroute level cruise resumed overhead Idskenhuizen in the Provincie Friesland region of the Netherlands and lasted for 42 minutes, covering a distance of 301 nm. The aircraft then began another enroute climb from 32,787 ft asl to 34,713 ft asl, an increase of 1,926 ft in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nm.
The enroute level cruise continued for another 90 minutes, covering a distance of 682 nm, starting approximately 3 miles south of Skagen in the North Denmark Region. The aircraft then began its enroute descent from 33,516 ft asl to 2,300 ft asl, a decrease of 31,216 ft in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 100 nm.
The final approach to runway 04 at Ivalo Airport (EFIV) in Lapland, Finland, was made from the south-west, with the aircraft heading at 47.0° at 4 nm and 1,204 ft above ground level (agl). The landing took place on runway 04, which had a length of 2,484 meters. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 149 kt, and the touchdown point was 207 meters beyond the touchdown zone.
The touchdown speed was 137 kt, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -131 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of -9°C, a wind speed of 10 kt at 20°, with a 5 kt crosswind and a 9 kt headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,195 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nm.
The total flight distance was 1,405 nm, and the flight duration was 219 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,322 kg of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft Vueling EC-MGZ successfully landed at EFIV Ivalo Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southwest, heading 47.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,204 feet above ground level (agl). This positioning allowed the pilots to maintain a stable and controlled descent onto the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 04, which has a length of 2,484 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the pilots had sufficient clearance to safely touch down on the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 148 kt, registering at 149 kt. This minor deviation from the target speed did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The touchdown point was located 207 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The touchdown speed of 137 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -131 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to accurately position the aircraft on the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -9°C and a wind speed of 10 kt from a direction of 20°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 kt and a headwind of 9 kt, which the pilots effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,195 meters was 48% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of aircraft Vueling EC-MGZ at EFIV Ivalo Airport was a successful and well-executed procedure, with the pilots demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
