Keep the speed up on final
See Arrival Final 2
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.

Plan view — the first 1,805 m of the 2,993 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 429 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight aboard an Airbus A320 commenced from a parking position at the Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (LIRF). Taxiing to the runway required 7 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. As the plane began its departure, it rolled down runway 25, with a takeoff distance of 1,885 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway's length. Achieving a liftoff speed of 161 knots, the aircraft cleared the ground shortly after.
The ascent into the air started with an enroute climb, taking place about a mile northwest of Fiumicino, Italy. During this phase, the plane climbed from 1,015 feet above sea level to an elevation of 8,221 feet above sea level, covering a vertical distance of 7,205 feet in just 3 minutes while moving 6 nautical miles.
Following this climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise mode 6 miles west of LIRF, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles. As the flight continued, another enroute climb occurred, this time from 8,668 feet to an altitude of 38,508 feet. The ascent covered a distance of 132 nautical miles in 18 minutes. During this climb, the plane passed through significant atmospheric conditions, achieving a height of 29,840 feet.
After this climb, the aircraft resumed level flight for a considerable duration of 21 minutes, lasting between 41 miles northeast of Foro, Italy, and covering an impressive 128 nautical miles. This lengthy cruise indicated an average ground speed of approximately 640 knots.
With fuel levels depleting, the plane initiated another enroute descent at an altitude of 38,893 feet above sea level, approximately 2 miles northwest of Pajic Polje in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The plane descended to 2,764 feet above sea level in a span of 21 minutes, covering 125 nautical miles.
In the final stage of the flight, a level cruise started 2 miles north of Simanovci, Serbia, lasting just 3 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. With the destination approaching, the plane began its final approach to runway 12 at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (LYBE). The final descent and landing took place with a heading of 124.0° and an altitude of approximately 1,229 feet above ground level.
Landing on the 2,993-meter runway was successful, with a threshold speed of 133 knots and a good threshold height. The aircraft displayed a fast touchdown speed of 126 knots and maintained a touch rate of -356 feet per minute. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline, the overall runway rollout alignment was very good.
Finally, taxiing to the parking position from the runway required just 5 minutes and covered less than a nautical mile, bringing an end to this extensive 412-nautical-mile journey that utilized 2,728 kilograms of fuel, lasting a total of 79 minutes.
On this recent landing, an Airbus A320 aircraft executed a successful touchdown at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport, achieving a high score of 96.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest at a heading of 124.0°, maintaining a safe altitude of 1,229 feet above ground level (agl) as it descended to begin its final approach at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
Upon landing on runway 12, which measures 2,993 meters in length, the aircraft displayed a satisfactory threshold height. It also successfully maintained a suitable threshold speed of 133 knots as it touched down on the runway. In terms of touchdown distance, the aircraft performed well, coming to a standstill within a distance of 429 meters.
However, the touchdown speed of 126 knots was noted to be slightly faster than expected, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -356 feet per minute (fpm). While this did not significantly impact the overall performance, it suggests a slight adjustment may be required to improve the landing quality in future approaches.
A notable deviation occurred during the landing, with the aircraft touching down slightly off-centerline to the right by 3.1 meters. Considering the landing conditions, this deviation can be attributed to factors such as wind or pilot technique. Despite this slight misalignment, the overall performance of the aircraft was strong.
Landing under favorable weather conditions, with a temperature of 16°C and a relatively light headwind of 11 knots, further contributed to the successful execution of this landing. Given these favorable conditions, the aircraft's total landing distance of 1,718 meters (covering 57% of the runway) was well within the expected range. Moreover, the rollout alignment of the aircraft was very good, indicating exceptional control and handling during the post-landing phase.
Overall, while there were some minor areas for improvement, the Airbus A320 demonstrated excellent performance in its landing at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport, achieving a high score of 96.7% and showcasing its capabilities under various flight conditions.
