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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,655 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 742 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 31L at OMAA Zayed International Airport, a movement that required 10 minutes and covered 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 31L, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 1,907 m, representing 47 % of the runway, and achieved a liftoff speed of 166 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 42 °C with wind 4 kt from 339°, including a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced 1 mile north-west of OMAA, where the airplane rose from 1,040 ft asl to 34,546 ft asl, an altitude gain of 33,506 ft achieved in 27 minutes while covering 172 nm.
Level cruise began 21 miles north-east of Ibri (Az Zahirah, Oman) and continued for 127 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 1,007 nm.
Descent was initiated 11 miles north-east of Bannu (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan), with the flight descending from 35,011 ft asl to 3,055 ft asl, a loss of 31,956 ft in 16 minutes over a distance of 116 nm.
The final approach to runway 10R at OPIS Islamabad International Airport was flown from the west, on a heading of 101.0°, at 4 nm and 1,302 ft agl.
Landing on runway 10R, which is 3,655 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 136 kt. The touchdown point was 329 m beyond the touchdown zone, the aircraft touched down at 127 kt, and the vertical speed was minus 278 fpm. The touchdown location was offset 13.3 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was 28 °C with wind 3 kt from 130°, a 2 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind.
The total landing roll measured 1,418 m, equivalent to 39 % of the runway, and the rollout was slightly misaligned by 12.2 m from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a maneuver that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,306 nm, required 181 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 7,897 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 completed the final approach to runway 10R at OPIS Islamabad International Airport from the west on a heading of 101.0° at 4 nm and 1,302 ft agl; the approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
Threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 136 kt as the aircraft entered the flare.
Touchdown occurred 329 m beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 127 kt judged good and a touchdown rate fair at minus 278 fpm; the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.3 m from centreline and the total landing distance was 1,418 m, representing 39 % of the 3,655 m runway.
During rollout the aircraft remained slightly misaligned, deviating 12.2 m from the centreline.
Refine centreline tracking to reduce the 13 m touchdown offset and the 12 m rollout deviation, which will tighten alignment without affecting the overall high score of 90.4 %.
