Monitor your 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.

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 1,776 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,776 m of the 3,403 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 560 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, taking 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 25, with a takeoff distance of 1,781 meters, which was 62% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 161 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Rome, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and winds of 14 knots at 129 degrees. The crosswind was 12 knots, while the tailwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,048 feet above sea level to 19,066 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,018 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 23 miles southwest of Fiumicino and lasted for 71 minutes, covering a distance of 283 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 19,175 feet above sea level to 34,854 feet above sea level, an increase of 15,679 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 80 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time starting 28 miles west of the Ionian Sea Moving Carrier - CVN78, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. However, this was short-lived, as the aircraft began its descent from 34,875 feet above sea level to 17,187 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,687 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 89 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed once again, this time starting 9 miles northeast of Poros, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 81 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, this time from 17,167 feet above sea level to 3,900 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,267 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 53 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started one last time, this time starting 7 miles south of Vouliagmeni, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. However, this was the final leg of the flight, as the aircraft began its final descent from 3,210 feet above sea level to 1,563 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,646 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03R at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport took place from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 37.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, with a total landing distance of 1,697 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The touchdown point was 146 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 132 knots and a touchdown rate of -280 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 9°C temperature and winds of 1 knot at 270 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots. The total flight distance was 646 nautical miles, taking 142 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,021 kilograms of fuel. The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 03R at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 37.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with a high degree of accuracy, as evidenced by the good threshold height and threshold speed of 141 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 146 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilots maintained control throughout the landing process. However, the touchdown rate of -280 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than desired.
Despite this minor issue, the overall performance of the aircraft during the landing was impressive. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 270°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,697 meters was 50% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots executed a smooth and controlled landing, with minimal drag and no significant loss of speed. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control and stability throughout the landing process.
Overall, this landing was a testament to the skills and expertise of the pilots, as well as the capabilities of the Airbus A320 aircraft. The high level of precision and control demonstrated during the landing is a credit to the crew and the aircraft, and reflects the high standards of aviation safety and performance.
