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.

Rotate the moment the speed tape reaches 153 kt, not after it.
What happened: Rotation was held until 164 kt, 11 kt past the 153 kt rotation target. Carrying that much extra speed into rotation usually adds unwanted energy right at liftoff.
Arrival
Fly a stabilized approach and flare to touch down at the target point of 457 m.
What happened: Touchdown occurred past the normal point, landing 268 m beyond the target distance. This pattern typically reduces the margin available for stopping before the runway end.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,669 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,669 m of the 3,362 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 725 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321 taxied from the parking area to runway 24 at RPLL Ninoy Aquino International Airport, covering 2 nm in 9 minutes.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 24 at RPLL, achieving a takeoff distance of 2,155 m (60 % of the runway) and lifting off at 165 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 28 °C, wind 12 kt from 230°, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 12 kt headwind.
Climb began 1 mile south-west of RPLL, with the A321 ascending from 1,076 ft asl to 38,625 ft asl, a gain of 37,549 ft over 26 minutes while covering 182 nm.
The first level cruise started 17 miles north-east of RPSF Azagra Airstrip and lasted 9 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 71 nm.
Descent commenced 15 miles north-west of Madridejos, descending from 38,620 ft asl to 4,388 ft asl, a loss of 34,232 ft in 16 minutes and covering 104 nm.
A second level cruise began 11 miles east of Danao, lasting 3 minutes and spanning 9 nm.
The next descent started 6 miles east of Compostela, dropping from 3,806 ft asl to 1,330 ft asl, a decrease of 2,476 ft in 3 minutes over 8 nm.
Final approach to runway 22L at RPVM Mactan Cebu International Airport was executed from the north-east, on a heading of 225.0° at 4 nm and 1,294 ft agl.
The Airbus A321 landed on runway 22L, which is 3,362 m long; the threshold speed was slightly above target at 141 kt. Touchdown occurred 303 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 130 kt, a touchdown rate of minus 33 fpm, and a lateral deviation of 8.2 m from the centreline. Weather at the time was 29 °C with wind 14 kt from 220°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 14 kt headwind.
The total landing distance recorded was 1,582 m (47 % of the runway), and the rollout alignment was off by 8.0 m from the centreline.
After rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering 1 nm in 7 minutes.
Overall, the flight covered 385 nm, required 78 minutes of flight time, and consumed 3,354 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was flown from the north-east on a heading of 236.0° at a distance of 0 nm and an altitude of -35 ft agl. Local weather was 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 273°, resulting in a crosswind of 0 kt and a headwind of 0 kt.
At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 75 kt. The flare was executed in line with the good threshold height.
Touchdown occurred 329 m down the runway at a speed of 59 kt, with a vertical rate of -66 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 645 m, representing 26 % of the 2,493 m runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.
With a final score of 99.6 % the landing was essentially flawless; the only noticeable deviation was the threshold speed being slightly above the target, so tightening speed control to meet the exact target will further optimise performance. Maintaining the current touchdown point and alignment will preserve the excellent results.
