Monitor your 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 1,580 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,580 m of the 3,588 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 341 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 737-900 from UGSB Batumi International Airport to LBSF Sofia Airport had a smooth taxiing process from the parking to the runway, taking only 4 minutes to cover less than 1 nm. The departure roll on runway 31 at Batumi International Airport spanned a distance of 1,394 m, which equated to 56% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 161 knots, amid local weather conditions of 11 °C temperature and a wind speed of 17 knots at 201°, resulting in a crosswind of 16 knots and a tailwind of 6 knots.
The enroute climb commenced 1 mile northwest of Batumi International Airport and saw the aircraft ascend from 1,028 ft above sea level to 37,304 ft, covering a distance of 130 nm in 20 minutes. Subsequently, the aircraft reached its level cruise 46 miles north of Tirebolu, maintaining this altitude for 81 minutes covering 571 nm. The descent phase was initiated 3 miles southeast of Nikolaevo, leading the aircraft to decrease its altitude from 38,372 ft to 3,024 ft, all within 19 minutes and covering 102 nm.
On final approach to runway 27 at Sofia Airport, coming from the east, the aircraft maintained a heading of 274.0° at 4 nm and 1,271 ft above ground level. The landing itself on runway 27 was successful, with a good threshold height and speed at 139 knots. The touchdown distance was 341 m, although the speed at touchdown was slightly fast at 136 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -321 ft/min, but the runway touchdown alignment was deemed perfect. The total landing distance amounted to 1,501 m, covering 42% of the runway with a very good rollout alignment.
The aircraft required 3 minutes to taxi from the runway to the parking area, covering less than 1 nm. Overall, the flight spanned a distance of 810 nm, lasting 129 minutes and consuming 5,967 kg of fuel throughout the journey.
