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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,740 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 319 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from London Gatwick Airport, the Airbus A319 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 08R, the crew prepared for departure, taking into account the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a wind speed of 11 kt at 70 °. The takeoff roll commenced, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 154 kt, covering a distance of 1,105 m, which represented 38% of the runway length.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Horley, Surrey, and reaching an altitude of 6,010 ft asl. The climb phase was characterized by a rapid ascent, with an increase of 4,867 ft in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off at 6,010 ft asl, before resuming its climb to 28,817 ft asl, an increase of 22,807 ft in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 70 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase saw the aircraft maintain a steady altitude, with a duration of 27 minutes and a distance of 194 nautical miles, before beginning its descent towards Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport.
As the aircraft approached the final approach phase, it started its descent from 29,005 ft asl to 1,731 ft asl, a decrease of 27,274 ft in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 82 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 21 at EDSB Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport was executed from the north-east, with a heading of 211.0 ° at 4 nautical miles and 1,311 ft agl. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 320 m, a touchdown speed of 120 kt, and a firm touchdown rate of -350 fpm. The total landing distance was 1,241 m, representing 45% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 377 nautical miles, with a flight time of 75 minutes and a fuel consumption of 2,677 kg.
The final approach to runway 21 at EDSB Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport was executed from the north east, heading 211.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,311 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 129 knots, indicating a well-controlled descent. The aircraft maintained a steady state, with a touchdown speed of 120 knots, which was within the acceptable range.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown characteristics were good, with a firm touchdown rate of -350 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating precise control and a high degree of skill on the part of the pilot. The touchdown distance of 320 meters was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating a well-executed landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 31°C and a wind of 6 knots at 170°, posed no significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,241 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was executed to a high standard, with a score of 98.2% reflecting the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
