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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,493 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 365 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 25R at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 25R, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 2,318 m, representing 74 % of the runway, and lifted off at 165 kt. Ambient conditions were 44 °C with a wind of 13 kt from 300°, a 7 kt cross-wind component and a 12 kt head-wind component.
The initial climb began overhead Central City, Arizona, climbing from 2,101 ft asl to 31,477 ft asl - a gain of 29,376 ft - in 12 minutes while traversing 80 nm.
A level cruise segment commenced 7 nm north-west of Oracle Airport (KORI) and lasted 3 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 29 nm.
A second climb started 9 nm east of San Manuel, Arizona, increasing altitude from 31,459 ft asl to 31,918 ft asl - a rise of 458 ft - in 2 minutes over a distance of 14 nm.
The following cruise phase began 13 nm north-west of Winchester Farm Airstrip (02AZ) and continued for 2 minutes, covering 14 nm.
Descent segment one originated 6 nm north-east of Winchester Farm Airstrip, descending from 32,359 ft asl to 30,958 ft asl - a loss of 1,401 ft - in 3 minutes while traveling 29 nm.
A prolonged cruise then started 9 nm east of Bowie, Arizona, lasting 165 minutes and encompassing 1,321 nm.
Descent segment two began 36 nm north of Rio Lagartos, Mexico, dropping from 30,755 ft asl to 2,032 ft asl - a decrease of 28,723 ft - in 16 minutes and covering 93 nm.
A short cruise followed 12 nm north-east of Leona Vicario, Mexico, lasting 4 minutes and spanning 10 nm.
The final approach to runway 12R at Cancún International Airport (MMUN) was executed from the north-west, on a heading of 124.0°, at 4 nm and 1,228 ft agl.
Landing on runway 12R, which is 3,493 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 134 kt (slightly above target) and a touchdown speed of 132 kt. Touchdown distance was 365 m, touchdown rate was minus 330 fpm, and alignment was perfect. Local weather reported a temperature of 29 °C, wind 2 kt from 60°, a 2 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind. Total landing distance measured 1,170 m, representing 33 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment remained perfect throughout the deceleration phase.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,598 nm, required 221 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 10,316 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320ceo entered the final approach to runway 12R at MMUN from the north-west on a heading of 124.0° at 4 NM and 1,228 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, and the local weather was 29 °C with a 2 kt wind from 060°, providing a 2 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a speed of 134 kt, noted as slightly above the target, and the threshold height was good. The flare progressed smoothly and the touchdown point was recorded at 365 m down the runway, which was judged good.
Touchdown occurred with a speed of 132 kt, described as a little fast, and a firm rate of descent measured at minus 330 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total distance of 1,170 m, representing 33 % of the 3,493 m runway, and the runway rollout alignment remained perfect throughout.
To refine future landings, aim to achieve the target threshold speed to reduce the touchdown speed marginally, and adjust flare timing to soften the firm rate of descent. These minor adjustments will help maintain the high overall score of 96.2 %.
