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 11,497 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,199 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Miami International Airport, taking 11 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 08R, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 4,421 feet, which was 42% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 89°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 4 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile southeast of Miami Springs, Florida. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,043 feet above sea level to 30,191 feet, an increase of 29,148 feet, in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 70 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 8 miles southeast of Duck Key, Florida, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 22 miles south of Marathon, Florida, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 29,955 feet to 1,484 feet, a decrease of 28,471 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 86 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at Juan Gualberto Gomez International Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 55.0° at an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 06, which had a length of 11,497 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was 122 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,195 feet, and the touchdown speed was 115 knots, both of which were good. The touchdown rate was firm at -345 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 21 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 73°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 80°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 3,824 feet, which was 33% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 188 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 55 minutes. The aircraft used 4,053 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at MUVR Juan Gualberto Gomez International Airport, achieving a score of 97.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 55.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was within the acceptable range, at 115 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,195 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown rate of -345 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, which is desirable to prevent the aircraft from bouncing or skidding upon landing.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 21 feet off-centerline. This minor misalignment may have been due to various factors, including wind or pilot error. Nevertheless, the pilot's overall performance was commendable, considering the challenging conditions.
The local weather at the time of landing was characterized by a temperature of 73°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 80°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not significantly impact the landing, and the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
The total landing distance of 3,824 feet was within the acceptable range, accounting for approximately 33% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient time to decelerate and bring the aircraft to a stop without exceeding the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing.
Overall, the Airbus A319's landing at MUVR Juan Gualberto Gomez International Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft through challenging conditions.
