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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,242 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,814 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 22L at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,213 feet, which was 30% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 48°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 359°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Tessera in Veneto, Italy. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 90 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,007 feet above sea level to 34,437 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles northwest of LDPN Unije Airfield on Unije Island in Croatia. This phase lasted for 73 minutes and covered a distance of 575 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile east of Kymi in Central Greece. The descent took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 96 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 34,903 feet to 1,628 feet.
The final approach to runway 34 at LGMK Mykonos Island National Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 341.0° at an altitude of 1,225 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. However, the aircraft was forced to execute a go-around at an altitude of 57 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 34, with a touchdown speed of 145 knots and a touchdown point 462 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown rate was fair at -272 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 52 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 57°F and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 359°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 0 knots. The total landing distance was 4,716 feet, which was 76% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 52 feet from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 778 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 146 minutes. The aircraft used 13,339 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 34 at LGMK Mykonos Island National Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 341.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,225 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but with a threshold height that was above the target, indicating a slightly higher-than-desired altitude at the moment of touchdown.
The threshold speed, however, was significantly above the target at 145 knots, indicating that the aircraft was descending at a faster rate than intended. This, combined with the touchdown speed of 145 kt, which was also fast, resulted in a touchdown rate of -272 feet per minute (fpm), which was only fair. The touchdown point was 462 feet beyond the touchdown zone, further indicating that the aircraft was touching down at a faster rate than desired.
Another notable issue was the runway touchdown position, which was significantly misaligned by 52 feet from the centreline. This misalignment was also evident during the runway rollout, where the aircraft remained misaligned by 52 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 57°F and a wind speed of 0 kt at 359°, did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance was 4,716 feet, which was 76% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance, but the misaligned touchdown and rollout may have contributed to a longer-than-desired stopping distance. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas for improvement, including reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed, and improving the runway alignment during touchdown and rollout.
