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 6,756 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,756 ft of the 10,480 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,270 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at MMMD Aeropuerto Internacional Manuel Crescencio Rejón. This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 10, taking off with a takeoff distance of 5,562 feet, which was 59% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 90°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 110°. The crosswind component was 0 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile east of MMMD Aeropuerto Internacional Manuel Crescencio Rejón Ciudad de Mérida, climbing from an altitude of 898 feet above sea level to 30,973 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 78 nautical miles, took 13 minutes and resulted in an increase of 30,075 feet in altitude.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 12 miles west of Rio Lagartos. This phase lasted for 56 minutes and covered a distance of 381 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 23 miles southwest of 61FD AdventHealth Palm Coast Heliport Palm Coast. The descent, which covered a distance of 133 nautical miles, took 29 minutes and resulted in a decrease of 29,462 feet in altitude, from 30,763 feet above sea level to 1,301 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 08R at KMIA Miami International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading at 87.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway at this point. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 84°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 08R, which had a length of 10,480 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 120 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,260 feet, and the touchdown speed was 114 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was firm at -349 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 6,467 feet, which was 62% of the runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 599 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 109 minutes. The aircraft used 7,716 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) on runway 08R, achieving a high score of 97.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a steady course, ensuring a smooth final approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a threshold speed of 120 knots being achieved. The touchdown distance of 1,260 feet was also within acceptable limits, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 114 knots was slightly below the threshold speed, but still within the safe range. The touchdown rate of -349 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a stable and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 84°F and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 100°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots, providing a relatively stable environment for the landing. The runway length of 10,480 feet was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 6,467 feet, which accounted for 62% of the runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained a steady course and had not deviated from the centerline. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft performing well within the expected parameters.
