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.

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 2,812 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 580 m 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 04 at London Stansted Airport (EGSS). The takeoff distance was 1,498 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at an angle of 80 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Elsenham in Essex, England. The climb took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 21 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,399 feet above sea level to 5,863 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 2 minutes and covered 7 nautical miles. This phase took place overhead Layer de la Haye in Essex, England. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 5,865 feet to 35,585 feet, an increase of 29,720 feet in 12 minutes and covering 166 nautical miles. This climb phase started overhead Great Bentley in Essex, England.
The aircraft then entered a prolonged level cruise phase, lasting 46 minutes and covering 1,391 nautical miles. This phase took place 1 mile south of Geer in Wallonia, Belgium. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 25 miles south of Demre in Antalya, Turkey. The descent took 16 minutes and covered 187 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 36,278 feet to 1,206 feet.
The final approach to runway 22 at Larnaca International Airport (LCLK) was made from the north east, with the aircraft heading 224.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,173 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 162 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -129 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at an angle of 200 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,320 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,781 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 94 minutes. The aircraft used 10,572 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Larnaca International Airport, achieving a score of 96.7%. The final approach to runway 22 was initiated from the north-east, with a heading of 224.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,173 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being slightly above the target at 56 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 144 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown point was located 162 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 136 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -129 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision in navigating the aircraft to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots from a direction of 200°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,320 meters was 47% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed well, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and precision. The minor deviations in touchdown point and threshold height did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
