Slow the descent speed
See Enroute Descent
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,527 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,527 m of the 2,692 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 481 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at HECA Cairo International Airport, taking 11 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 05R, with a takeoff distance of 1,913 meters, which was 48% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 175 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Cairo International Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 59°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started 2 miles northeast of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,426 feet above sea level to 32,204 feet, an increase of 30,778 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 143 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 47 miles north of Alexandria, Egypt, and lasted for 218 minutes, covering a distance of 1,533 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent overhead Maizieres-la-Grande-Paroisse, France, descending from 31,760 feet to 3,873 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 3 miles northwest of Villenauxe-la-Grande, France, lasting for 17 minutes and covering 57 nautical miles.
The final descent began overhead Beauchamp, France, with the aircraft descending from 3,924 feet to 1,600 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 09L at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport from the west, heading 84.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,244 feet above ground level.
However, the aircraft performed a go-around at 492 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 09L, with a runway length of 2,692 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 140 knots. The touchdown point was 66 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 131 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -346 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.2 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 9°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 170°, with a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,447 meters, which was 54% of the runway length. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,769 nautical miles, taking 314 minutes, and the aircraft used 15,058 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport, achieving a score of 93.1%. The final approach to runway 09L was conducted from the west, with a heading of 84.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,244 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 140 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 66 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which is also within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was firm at -346 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the approach. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the rollout.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 170°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,447 meters, which is 54% of the runway length. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with alignment that need to be addressed.
