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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,373 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 199 m touchdown sits inside 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, an RJ85, then departed from runway 09 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 1,026 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 141 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 1 °C and a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 60°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile north east of EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, rising from an altitude of 953 feet above sea level to 30,479 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,526 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Quievrain in Wallonia, Belgium. This phase lasted for 50 minutes and covered a distance of 330 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile west of Boffres in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. The descent took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 96 nautical miles, during which the aircraft dropped from an altitude of 30,760 feet above sea level to 1,845 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 31R at LFML Marseille Provence Airport was made from the south east, with the aircraft heading 314.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,791 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 31R, which had a length of 3,373 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 108 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 200 meters, and the touchdown speed was 103 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -239 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6 °C and a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 300°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 612 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 555 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 105 minutes. The aircraft used 3,569 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at LFML Marseille Provence Airport with a score of 98.5%. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, heading 314.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,791 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft then landed on runway 31R, which has a length of 3,373 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 108 knots, which may have been due to various factors such as air density, aircraft weight, or pilot decision-making. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 200 meters, and the touchdown speed of 103 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate of -239 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, which may indicate that the aircraft touched down with a slightly higher rate of descent than desired. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 300°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 8 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. However, the pilots successfully managed the aircraft to achieve a total landing distance of 612 meters, which is equivalent to 18% of the runway length.
The runway rollout alignment was reported as perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 98.5% despite some minor deviations from the target speeds and rates.
