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 seven 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 2,601 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 190 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 21 at ZLIC Yinchuan Hedong International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,681 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -6 °C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 106 degrees.
As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead ZLIC Yinchuan Hedong International Airport. The climb took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 70 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 4,763 feet above sea level to 33,977 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,214 feet. The enroute level cruise then started 39 miles east of Shizuishan, China, and lasted for 81 minutes, covering a distance of 623 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 3 miles north of Dengzhou, China, and took 15 minutes to descend from 33,205 feet above sea level to 2,444 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,761 feet. The descent covered a distance of 85 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, which started 15 miles south of ZSWH Weihai Dashuibo Airport and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 02 at ZSWH Weihai Dashuibo Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 18.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,264 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 02, which had a length of 2,601 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 126 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 125 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -430 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,214 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 800 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 126 minutes. The aircraft used 4,605 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at ZSWH Weihai Dashuibo Airport, achieving a score of 94.1%. The final approach to runway 02 was initiated from the south, with a heading of 18.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 126 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the recommended value at 125 knots, which may have contributed to a hard touchdown rate of -430 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 191 meters was within acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centerline, which may have affected the aircraft's stability during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 1°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots. The total landing distance of 1,214 meters was 47% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 8.5 meters. This may have been a result of the initial touchdown position being off-centerline. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance.
