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 1,456 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,456 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 192 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The Boeing 727-200 then departed from runway 32L at SKBO El Dorado International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 2,839 meters, which was 75% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 146 knots, with local weather conditions of 18°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of Funza, Colombia, at an altitude of 9,370 feet above sea level. The climb continued for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nautical miles, and reaching an altitude of 23,738 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,368 feet. The aircraft then entered a level cruise 4 miles southeast of Puli, Colombia, and remained at this altitude for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 58 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb 5 miles northeast of Filandia, Colombia, from an altitude of 25,173 feet above sea level to 26,565 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,393 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 3 miles southeast of San Jose, Colombia, from an altitude of 26,680 feet above sea level to 1,309 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,370 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 70 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13 at SKUI El Caraño Airport was made from the west, heading 104.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,109 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which was 1,456 meters long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was well above the target at 144 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 193 meters. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 knots, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -521 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, but the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,182 meters, which was 81% of the runway length. The total flight distance was 180 nautical miles, taking 35 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,673 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 727-200 aircraft successfully landed at SKUI El Caraño Airport, with a final approach score of 91.3%. The aircraft was approaching runway 13 from the west, heading 104.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,109 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 1,456 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 144 knots. This indicates that the aircraft was able to maintain a high speed during the final stages of the approach, which is a desirable trait for a safe and controlled landing. The touchdown distance was also reported as good, measuring 193 meters.
However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a harder-than-ideal touchdown rate. The aircraft's touchdown rate was measured at -521 feet per minute (fpm), which is considered very hard. This may have been due to the aircraft's high speed at touchdown, which can result in a more abrupt deceleration.
The runway touchdown alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 1 knot, which suggests that the wind was relatively light and not a significant factor in the landing.
The total landing distance was measured at 1,182 meters, which is 81% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was reported as slightly misaligned, with the aircraft deviating from the centerline by 9.2 meters. This may have been due to a slight overcorrection or a loss of directional control during the rollout phase.
