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 five checks, where the approach path is 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 2,405 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 704 m past the threshold — beyond 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 22 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A350-1000, then departed from runway 34L at OTHH Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar. The takeoff distance was 1,330 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 174 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 309 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead OTHH Hamad International Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 968 feet above sea level to 4,025 feet, an increase of 3,057 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 5 miles north of Doha. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 9 miles south of OTBK Al Khawr Airport, which took it from an altitude of 3,989 feet to 39,936 feet, an increase of 35,946 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 140 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 165 minutes and covered a distance of 1,135 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 16 miles west of OEDF King Fahd International Airport in Ad Dammam, Saudi Arabia. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 53 miles south of R084 Cyprus Static Carrier. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 40,000 feet to 1,406 feet, a decrease of 38,594 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 149 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17 at OLBA Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 177.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,351 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 17, which had a length of 2,405 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 140 knots.
The touchdown point was 290 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -56 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 110 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,441 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,451 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 232 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 22,148 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A350-1000 successfully landed at OLBA Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport, achieving a score of 92.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 177.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,351 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 17, which has a length of 2,405 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 140 knots. However, the touchdown point was 290 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly further down the runway than intended. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was also a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -56 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 110°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,441 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's path during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to touch down and stop within a reasonable distance. However, there were some minor deviations from the intended touchdown point and speed, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned.
