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 2,901 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 386 m touchdown sits inside 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 04R at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,195 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 150 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,036 feet above sea level to 37,733 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,697 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 104 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started overhead LDLM Mali Loinj in Croatia and lasted for 23 minutes, covering a distance of 168 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 25 miles south of LDSU Ubli in Croatia, and descended from an altitude of 38,445 feet above sea level to 2,426 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,019 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 98 nautical miles.
The enroute descent was followed by a series of short level cruises, which started 6 miles northeast of LIJS Aeroclub Citt Bianca Francesco Santoro Carovigno in Italy and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles, and then started 7 miles northeast of Carovigno and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13 at LIBR Brindisi Airport was made from the northwest, heading 137.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 138 knots and a touchdown rate of -86 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 386 meters, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 140 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 11 knots. The total landing distance was 1,422 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 387 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 78 minutes. The aircraft used 3,122 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LIBR Brindisi Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 13 was initiated from the northwest, with the aircraft heading at 137.0° and maintaining an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. This approach was executed with a high degree of accuracy, as evident from the 99.2% score.
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 144 knots was also within the acceptable range, signifying that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The touchdown distance of 386 meters was also satisfactory, and the touchdown speed of 138 knots was within the recommended limits. The most impressive aspect of this landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -86 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down with minimal impact, reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft and the runway.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 4.5 meters off-centerline. This minor misalignment may have been due to various factors, including wind conditions or pilot error. Nevertheless, the overall landing performance was commendable.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 11 knots at 140°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 11 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing process. The total landing distance of 1,422 meters was within the acceptable range, accounting for approximately 49% of the runway length.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly controlled during the post-landing phase. Overall, this landing was a testament to the skills and expertise of the pilots, as well as the capabilities of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
