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 2,441 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 239 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A320 began with a smooth taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking 8 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nm. Departure from LIMC Malpensa on runway 35L involved a takeoff roll of 1,377m, accounting for 39% of the runway length. The aircraft reached liftoff speed at 164 knots under local weather conditions of 17°C, with a 4 knot wind at 120° resulting in a 3 knot crosswind and 3 knot tailwind component.
The enroute climb commenced over LIMC Malpensa, ascending from 1,805 ft to 36,793 ft in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 134 nm. The level cruise phase followed, starting 3 miles south of Lucca and lasting 11 minutes, covering 83 nm. The subsequent descent phase began 3 miles north of Giglio Castello, descending from 37,087 ft to 3,013 ft in 27 minutes and covering 95 nm. Another brief level cruise occurred 9 miles northeast of Golfo Aranci lasting 3 minutes and covering 10 nm before initiating the approach to LIEO Costa Smeralda.
The landing on runway 23 at LIEO Costa Smeralda involved a touchdown 239m from the threshold at a speed of 130 knots and a descent rate of -177 ft/m. The landing distance totaled 863m, equivalent to 35% of the runway length, with local weather showing 17°C temperature and a 1 knot wind at 270°, resulting in a 1 knot headwind component.
Upon landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 332 nm, with a total flight time of 105 minutes and fuel consumption of 3,396 kg.
Congratulations on achieving an outstanding aircraft landing score of 99.8%! Your performance during each phase of the landing process was truly commendable.
During the Approach Phase, you exhibited excellent glideslope alignment, showcasing your ability to maintain the correct descent angle and altitude as you approached the runway. This level of precision is crucial for a smooth and safe landing.
In the Landing Phase, your execution was equally impressive. You maintained a good threshold height, allowing for a stable approach to the runway. Your landing flare was perfect, ensuring a smooth transition from descent to touchdown. This demonstrates your skill in controlling the aircraft and making adjustments as needed to achieve a successful landing.
Moving on to the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was good, indicating that you were able to accurately judge the descent and timing for touchdown. Your speed was on target, further contributing to a safe and controlled landing. Additionally, the touchdown distance being inside the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position being very good show your ability to accurately place the aircraft on the runway with precision.
Finally, during the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was very good, indicating that you were able to maintain the correct path down the runway after touchdown. This is essential for a safe landing and smooth rollout.
Overall, your performance throughout each phase of the landing process was exceptional. Your attention to detail and precise control of the aircraft resulted in an incredibly high landing score. Keep up the excellent work and continue to hone your skills to maintain such high standards in all your future landings. Well done!
