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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,893 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 430 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a British Aerospace 146-200 aircraft, which departed from Dubbo City Regional Airport (YSDU) and landed at Albury Airport (YMAY). The takeoff from runway 05 at YSDU was smooth, with a takeoff distance of 475 meters, which is 28% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 120 knots, despite a moderate crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 22 knots.
After takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead YSDU and reached an altitude of 21,782 feet above sea level (asl) in just 7 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 24 nautical miles and was a significant increase in altitude, with the aircraft rising by 19,927 feet. The enroute level cruise that followed lasted for 25 minutes and covered a distance of 169 nautical miles, taking the aircraft 10 miles east of Tomingley.
The aircraft then began its descent, which started 6 miles south of Ladysmith and ended 14 miles south east of Holbrook. The descent from 21,804 feet asl to 8,541 feet asl covered a distance of 35 nautical miles and took 7 minutes. The aircraft then leveled off for a short period, before beginning another descent that took it from 8,510 feet asl to 1,838 feet asl in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at YMAY was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 263.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,289 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 105 knots and a touchdown distance of 430 meters. The touchdown rate was also good, at -171 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 1,106 meters, which is 58% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took just 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
Overall, the flight was a successful one, with the aircraft completing its journey from YSDU to YMAY in 54 minutes, covering a total distance of 257 nautical miles. The aircraft used a total of -956 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The British Aerospace 146-200 aircraft successfully landed at YMAY Albury Airport, achieving a high score of 98.0%. The final approach to runway 25 was conducted from the east, with the aircraft heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 105 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 430 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The aircraft's touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute was good, suggesting a stable and even landing.
However, there was a slight deviation from the ideal landing performance, as the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline. This minor discrepancy may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and wind speeds of 11 knots at 138°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing performance of the aircraft.
The total landing distance of 1,106 meters was 58% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to land smoothly and efficiently, with minimal use of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled path after touchdown.
Overall, the landing of the British Aerospace 146-200 at YMAY Albury Airport was a successful one, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good landing performance.
