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 2,393 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 243 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at DABB Annaba Rabah Bitat Airport. The Airbus A320 took off with a takeoff distance of 953 meters, which was 42% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 152 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed out of Annaba, it began its enroute climb 1 mile east of El Hadjar. The climb was steep, with the aircraft ascending from 1,051 feet above sea level to 10,093 feet above sea level, an increase of 9,042 feet in just 3 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 15 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 13 nautical miles, starting 9 miles south of Berrahal.
The enroute descent phase began 10 miles west of Heliopolis, where the aircraft descended from 9,754 feet above sea level to 6,728 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,025 feet in 2 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 10 nautical miles, starting 14 miles north of 'Ain Abid.
The final descent phase began 9 miles northeast of El Khroub, where the aircraft descended from 6,700 feet above sea level to 3,521 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,179 feet in 5 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 31 at DABC Mohamed Boudiaf International Airport, approaching from the southeast with a heading of 320.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,212 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 31 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 243 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown rate was heavy at -686 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 12.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance was 736 meters, which was 31% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.5 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 67 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 20 minutes. The aircraft used 20 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at DABC Mohamed Boudiaf International Airport, with a score of 89.6%. The final approach to runway 31 was initiated from the south east, heading 320.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,212 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 243 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -686 feet per minute was also considered heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have been subjected to a higher-than-desired deceleration force upon touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was found to be misaligned by 12.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
The total landing distance of 736 meters was 31% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was found to be slightly misaligned by 12.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were some areas for improvement, including a slightly fast touchdown speed and a heavy touchdown rate. Additionally, the pilot may have benefited from a more precise alignment during the final approach and rollout phases to achieve a more optimal landing performance.
