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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,683 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 524 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 01 at Tunis-Carthage International Airport in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 01, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,587 m, representing 50 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 156 kt; ambient conditions were 32 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 350°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced 1 mile north of Tunis-Carthage, with the A320 ascending from 1,014 ft asl to 37,690 ft asl-a gain of 36,676 ft-over 21 minutes while traversing 133 nm.
The level cruise segment began 24 nm east of Villasimius, Sardegna, and persisted for 57 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 412 nm.
Descent was initiated 1 mile east of Piossasco, Piemonte, with a reduction from 38,015 ft asl to 2,105 ft asl, a loss of 35,911 ft, achieved in 20 minutes and spanning 118 nm.
The final approach to runway 35R at Lyon-Saint-Exupéry Airport was conducted from the south on a heading of 355.0°, entering the approach at 4 nm and 1,301 ft agl.
Landing on runway 35R, which is 2,705 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 137 kt; touchdown was recorded 129 m beyond the touchdown zone at 132 kt and a vertical rate of minus 316 fpm, with alignment described as very good; local weather reported 31 °C, wind 2 kt from 150°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind component.
The total landing roll measured 1,301 m, equivalent to 48 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s rollout alignment was offset by 7.7 m from the centreline.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering another 1 nm.
In summary, the flight covered 671 nm, required 109 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 3,667 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 completed the final approach to runway 35R at LFLL Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport from the south, tracking a heading of 355.0° at 4 nm and 1,301 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At the threshold the runway length was 2,705 m and the threshold height was reported as good. The threshold speed was good at 137 kt.
Touchdown occurred 129 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 132 kt, noted as a little fast, and a firm touchdown rate of minus 316 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good. Ambient temperature was 31 °C, wind 2 kt from 150°, with a 1 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt tailwind component.
The total landing distance was 1,301 m, representing 48 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 m from the centreline.
Fine-tune the flare to reduce the touchdown speed toward the target and ensure a smoother touchdown. Adjust rollout technique to keep the aircraft closer to the centreline and minimise the 7.7 m deviation.
