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 2,539 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 212 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 20 at Ajaccio-Napoléon Bonaparte Airport (LFKJ). The takeoff distance was 932 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, with no crosswind or headwind.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 2 miles southeast of Ajaccio, rising from 1,024 feet above sea level to 9,279 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,255 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began overhead Peri, lasting 2 minutes and covering another 9 nautical miles. The aircraft continued its descent 3 miles north of Bocognano, decreasing from 9,107 feet above sea level to 1,131 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,976 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles. Another brief enroute level cruise started 3 miles east of Castellare-di-Casinca, lasting 3 minutes and covering 1 nautical mile.
The final approach to runway 34 at Bastia-Poretta Airport (LFKB) was made from the south, heading 343.0° at 4 nautical miles and 779 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 34 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 212 meters, which was good, but the touchdown speed of 145 knots was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was very hard at -542 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, with no crosswind or headwind.
The total landing distance was 868 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft took 6 minutes to taxi to the parking area, covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The total flight distance was 58 nautical miles, taking 28 minutes, and the aircraft used 23 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at LFKB Bastia-Poretta Airport, achieving a score of 93.4%. The final approach to runway 34 was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 343.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 779 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 212 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 145 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more controlled descent. The touchdown rate was also quite high at -542 feet per minute (fpm), suggesting a relatively hard landing.
One notable issue with the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 7.8 meters. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a miscalculation by the pilot. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This minimal wind made the landing conditions ideal, and the pilot was able to maintain a steady approach path. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
