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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,166 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 913 ft 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 09 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 4,615 feet, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 166 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 42°F and a wind speed of 20 knots at 80°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 20 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, rising from an altitude of 1,003 feet above sea level to 35,912 feet above sea level in 28 minutes, covering a distance of 162 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started overhead Isselbach, Germany, and lasted for 114 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 877 nautical miles. The descent phase began 1 mile northwest of Petroto, Greece, and involved a decrease in altitude from 35,870 feet to 4,759 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 140 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb phase 4 miles south of Vouliagmeni, Greece, rising from 4,905 feet to 5,563 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The subsequent descent phase started 2 miles southeast of Vari, Greece, and involved a decrease in altitude from 5,285 feet to 1,560 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03R at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 37.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,269 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 911 feet and a touchdown speed of 136 knots. However, the touchdown speed was slightly fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -374 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 43°F and a wind speed of 14 knots at 10°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots. The total landing distance was 4,130 feet, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,196 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 184 minutes. The aircraft used 16,952 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (LGAV) on runway 03R. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 37.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 136 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed was slightly fast, indicating that the pilots may have been able to maintain a more optimal speed during the landing. The touchdown distance of 911 feet was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilots had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.
The touchdown rate of -374 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled and stable touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centreline, which may require further attention from the pilots to maintain a more precise alignment.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 43°F and a wind speed of 14 knots at 10°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots. These conditions may have presented some challenges for the pilots, but they were able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the landing.
The total landing distance of 4,130 feet was 37% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilots demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
