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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,394 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 382 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Horten Ho229 began with a 2-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at KTEX Telluride Regional Airport. The departure roll on runway 27 covered 1,309 ft, which was 20% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 76 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 32 °F with a wind of 11 kn coming from 279 °, resulting in a crosswind of 1 kn and a headwind of 11 kn.
The enroute climb started overhead KTEX Telluride Regional Airport, climbing from 9,906 ft asl to 43,810 ft asl in 11 minutes, covering 91 nm. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase 16 miles west of Blanding (Utah, United States) and flew for 24 minutes, covering 203 nm.
The enroute descent began 13 miles southeast of Scenic (Arizona, United States), descending from 43,942 ft asl to 3,947 ft asl in 9 minutes, covering 67 nm. The landing took place on runway 01L at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport, with a runway length of 8,394 ft. The aircraft approached at a height of 12 ft agl and a speed of 79 kn. The touchdown occurred 376 ft from the threshold at a speed of 68 kn, with a descent rate of -202 ft/min. The local weather at the time of landing was 63 °F with a wind of 6 kn coming from 60 °, resulting in a crosswind of 4 kn and a headwind of 5 kn. The total landing distance was 1,272 ft, which was 15% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 366 nm, with a total flight time of 87 minutes. The aircraft used 923 lbs of fuel during the flight.
Congratulations on achieving an impressive aircraft landing score of 96.9%! Your performance across all the phases of the landing process was truly exceptional.
During the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was excellent, demonstrating a high level of skill and precision in guiding the aircraft towards the runway. This not only ensures a smooth descent but also sets the stage for a successful landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, your threshold height and landing flare were both executed well, indicating a strong mastery of the control inputs needed to bring the aircraft safely to the ground. By hitting the correct threshold height and executing a perfect landing flare, you were able to set up for a smooth touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was good, and your speed was on target, reflecting a keen awareness of the aircraft's performance parameters and the conditions at the time of landing. Additionally, landing within the touchdown zone and achieving a runway touchdown position just 21 ft from the centerline further showcases your ability to accurately control the aircraft during this critical phase.
Finally, during the Rollout Phase, maintaining runway alignment just 20 ft from the centerline demonstrates your proficiency in guiding the aircraft down the runway and ensuring a safe rollout after touchdown.
Overall, your landing performance was truly outstanding, and your ability to consistently execute each phase of the landing process with precision and accuracy is commendable. Keep up the excellent work and continue striving for perfection in your future flights. Your dedication to mastering the art of aircraft landing is clearly paying off, and you should be proud of your achievements. Well done!
