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 2,803 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 50 m touchdown sits inside 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 Faro Airport (LPFR). This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 28, and the takeoff distance was 1,483 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 151 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 220 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of the airport and ascending from an altitude of 1,042 feet above sea level to 35,970 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,928 feet in 23 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 162 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles south of the Aerodromo El Judio Cordoba (LECR) in Andalusia, Spain. This phase lasted for 70 minutes and covered a distance of 568 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 62 miles west of the Aviosuperficie Torre Foghe Tresnuraghes (LIYK) in Sardegna, Italy. The descent took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 93 nautical miles, during which the aircraft decreased its altitude from 36,143 feet above sea level to 1,329 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 14 at Cagliari Elmas Airport (LIEE) was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 136.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,311 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 14, which had a length of 2,803 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 116 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 48 meters, and the touchdown speed was 115 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was heavy at -623 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 170 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,109 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 830 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 121 minutes. The aircraft used 4,917 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LIEE Cagliari Elmas Airport, achieving a score of 95.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 136.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,311 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 14, which has a length of 2,803 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 116 knots, which may have been due to various factors such as air density, aircraft weight, or pilot decision-making. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 48 meters, and the touchdown speed of 115 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate, however, was reported as heavy at -623 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate that the aircraft touched down with a higher than desired rate of descent. This could be due to various factors such as a high approach speed, a low air density, or a pilot error. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 170°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The total landing distance was 1,109 meters, which is approximately 40% of the runway length.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision, and the aircraft came to a stop safely on the runway. However, the heavy touchdown rate and slightly below-target threshold speed may indicate areas for improvement in the pilot's technique or aircraft performance.
