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 1,145 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,145 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 351 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 24 at Gustavo Rojas Pinilla International Airport, SKSP. The Airbus A320 took off with a takeoff distance of 962 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 2 miles southwest of San Andres, Providencia y Santa Catalina, Departamento de Archipielago de San Andres, Colombia. The climb was from 1,039 feet above sea level to 12,116 feet above sea level, an increase of 11,077 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 14 miles north of San Andres, descending from 11,450 feet above sea level to 3,120 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,330 feet in 3 minutes, covering 17 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise 18 miles south of SKPV El Embrujo Airport Providencia, lasting for 3 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles. However, this was short-lived, as the aircraft began another descent 12 miles south of the airport, descending from 3,040 feet above sea level to 1,305 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,735 feet in 3 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35 at SKPV El Embrujo Airport was from the south, heading 349.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,268 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 35, which had a length of 1,145 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 150 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 352 meters, but the touchdown speed of 146 knots was fast, and the touchdown rate was very heavy at -714 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind. The total landing distance was 921 meters, which accounted for 80% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway in just 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 57 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 19 minutes. The aircraft used 24 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at SKPV El Embrujo Airport, achieving a score of 90.6%. The final approach to runway 35 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 349.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 352 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 146 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilots may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate was also very heavy, at -714 feet per minute (fpm), which may have resulted in a bumpy ride for the passengers.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 3.5 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilots' alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
The total landing distance of 921 meters was 80% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, while there were some minor issues with the landing, such as the fast touchdown speed and heavy touchdown rate, the pilots were able to successfully bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance, achieving a good score of 90.6%.
