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 1,711 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,711 m of the 2,746 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 402 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A32NX started at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku, Azerbaijan. The taxi from the parking to the runway was quick, taking less than 1 minute and covering less than 1 nm. The departure roll was from runway 34, with a takeoff distance of 1,158 m (29% of the runway) and a liftoff speed of 159 kn. The local weather at departure was 11°C with a wind of 22 kn at 330°, resulting in a crosswind of 6 kn and a headwind of 21 kn.
The enroute climb started overhead Baku, climbing from 1,107 ft asl to 33,687 ft asl in 17 minutes and covering 100 nm. The enroute level cruise started west of Turkmenbasy, lasting 46 minutes and covering 385 nm. The enroute descent began north of Tejen, descending from 34,001 ft asl to 1,914 ft asl in 25 minutes, covering 157 nm.
The final approach to runway 33 at UTAV Türkmenabat International Airport was from the southeast, at 3 nm and 1,289 ft agl. The landing on runway 33 at Türkmenabat International Airport was smooth, with a touchdown distance of 404 m and a slightly fast touchdown speed of 138 kn. The touchdown rate was fair at -260 ft/m. The total landing distance was 1,636 m (60% of the runway).
After landing, taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 647 nm and the flight lasted 96 minutes, using 3,311 kg of fuel. Overall, the flight in the Airbus A32NX was successful with efficient operations from takeoff to landing.
Firstly, congratulations on achieving an impressive aircraft landing score of 99.3%! This is a remarkable achievement and speaks volumes about your skills as a pilot.
Let's break down the different phases of the landing to delve deeper into what resulted in such a high score:
During the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was mentioned as excellent. This indicates that you were able to maintain a steady descent rate towards the runway, which is crucial for a safe and smooth landing. Additionally, having your threshold speed slightly above target at 146 knots shows that you were able to handle the aircraft with precision and control during this critical phase of the landing process.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is evident that your threshold height was good, signaling that you were able to judge the altitude accurately to make a successful landing. The mention of an excellent landing flare is also commendable, as a proper flare helps in reducing the rate of descent and ensures a softer touchdown on the runway.
In the Touchdown Phase, while the touchdown rate of -260 ft/min was noted as fair, it is still within acceptable limits and shows that you were able to bring the aircraft down smoothly. The slightly fast touchdown speed of 138 knots may be an area to focus on for improvement in future landings. However, the fact that the touchdown distance was good at 404 meters indicates that you were able to land the aircraft at an appropriate point on the runway, enhancing the safety of the landing.
Lastly, the mention of perfect runway touchdown alignment is a testament to your ability to maintain control and precision throughout the landing process.
Overall, your landing score of 99.3% reflects a high level of proficiency and skill in handling the aircraft during the landing phases. Keep up the excellent work and continue refining your techniques to achieve even better scores in the future. Your dedication to safety and precision is evident, and it's truly commendable. Well done!
