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 2,803 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 236 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A321 from LEMH Menorca Airport to LIEE Cagliari Elmas Airport was smooth and efficient. The taxi from the parking to the runway was quick, taking 9 minutes to cover 1 nm. The departure roll on runway 19 at LEMH was successful, with a takeoff distance of 1,773 m at 75% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was at 158 knots. The local weather conditions at departure included a temperature of 21°C and a crosswind of 14 knots coming from 280°.
The climb from 1,195 ft asl to 29,834 ft asl was steady, covering 113 nm in 18 minutes. The enroute level cruise lasted 7 minutes, covering 60 nm. The descent from 29,841 ft asl to 1,302 ft asl was efficient, covering 59 nm in 19 minutes. The final approach to runway 32 at LIEE Cagliari Elmas Airport was well executed, with a good threshold height and alignment. The touchdown on the runway was a little fast at 144 knots, with a heavy touchdown rate of -640 ft/m. The landing distance was 1,009 m, covering 36% of the runway.
Overall, the total flight distance of 240 nm was completed in 57 minutes, using 2,903 kg of fuel. The flight was successful from takeoff to landing, with good handling of various weather conditions and efficient navigation throughout the journey.
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 94.8% is a fantastic result, showcasing your skill as a pilot. Let's break down the different phases of your landing to see where you excelled and where there is room for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, you demonstrated excellent glideslope alignment and maintained a good threshold speed of 144 knots. This is crucial for setting up a well-executed landing. Your attention to detail in this phase is commendable and contributed to your high overall score.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you managed to maintain a good threshold height, which indicates a strong understanding of the aircraft's position in relation to the runway. However, the landing flare was identified as very poor. This is an area that could use some improvement as the landing flare plays a significant role in ensuring a smooth touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, landing with a heavy rate of -640 ft/min and a slightly fast touchdown speed of 144 knots suggests that there may have been a lack of finesse in this phase of the landing. However, it is worth mentioning that your touchdown distance of 237 meters was good, indicating that you were able to bring the aircraft to a stop efficiently.
Despite the areas for improvement highlighted above, it is clear that you have a solid foundation in aircraft landing techniques. By focusing on refining your landing flare technique and working on controlling your touchdown rate and speed, you can further enhance your overall performance.
Keep up the great work and continue striving for excellence in all phases of your aircraft landings. Your dedication to improving your skills will undoubtedly lead to even higher landing scores in the future.
