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 3,923 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 535 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at FTTJ N'Djamena International Airport. This process took approximately 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 05, and the takeoff distance was 1,389 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 36 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots at 40 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots. The aircraft climbed from 2,104 feet above sea level to 37,350 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,245 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 176 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile northeast of FTTJ N'Djamena International Airport. The aircraft then transitioned to a level cruise, which began 12 miles southeast of Gujba, Yobe State, Nigeria. This cruise phase lasted for 18 minutes and covered a distance of 490 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, which started 4 miles southwest of Ilesa, Osun State, Nigeria. The descent took place from 37,349 feet above sea level to 1,357 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,992 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18R at DNMM Murtala Muhammed International Airport took place from the north, with a heading of 179.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,294 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 18R, which has a length of 3,923 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 137 knots.
The touchdown point was 117 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 knots and a touchdown rate of -184 feet per minute, both of which were good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 209 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,059 meters, which is 27% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The aircraft then taxiied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 774 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 64 minutes. The aircraft used 129 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at DNMM Murtala Muhammed International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 179.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,294 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with a high degree of accuracy, as evident from the final approach score of 99.0%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 18R, which has a length of 3,923 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 137 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed effectively.
The touchdown point was 117 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -184 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the acceptable range. This suggests that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and maintain control.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 33°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 209°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the landing, and the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway.
The total landing distance of 1,059 meters was 27% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop quickly, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its alignment with the runway as it came to a stop.
Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities. The high level of precision and control demonstrated during the landing is a credit to the pilot's training and experience, as well as the aircraft's design and performance.
