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 3,047 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 500 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 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a British Aerospace 146-200, then departed from runway 18 at YMAV Avalon Airport. The takeoff distance was 872 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 125 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead YMAV Avalon Airport Lara. The climb took the aircraft from 1,041 feet above sea level to 3,396 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,355 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 1 mile northeast of YAVE Avalon East Avalon and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its first descent, which started 2 miles west of Gisborne South. The descent took the aircraft from 4,075 feet above sea level to 2,862 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,214 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 2 miles west of Gisborne and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft then began another descent, which started 2 miles west of Gisborne. The descent took the aircraft from 3,319 feet above sea level to 2,625 feet above sea level, a decrease of 693 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. Following this, the aircraft entered another level cruise, which started 2 miles west of Gisborne and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft then began a climb, which started 2 miles west of Gisborne. The climb took the aircraft from 2,996 feet above sea level to 4,545 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,549 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 1 mile west of YMEL Melton Airport Melton and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 3 miles west of Eynesbury. The descent took the aircraft from 4,448 feet above sea level to 1,242 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,206 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 18 at YMAV Avalon Airport, heading 188.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,192 feet above ground level.
The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 77 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 111 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -124 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,183 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes
The British Aerospace 146-200 aircraft successfully landed at YMAV Avalon Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The final approach to runway 18 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 188.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,192 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down 77 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 111 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -124 feet per minute was also satisfactory. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots. The threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 115 knots, but this did not affect the overall performance of the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,183 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled manner in which the aircraft was brought to a stop on the runway.
