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 2,120 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,120 m of the 2,617 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 651 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport, taking approximately 6 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 35, with the aircraft taking off after covering 57% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,719 meters, and the liftoff speed was 175 knots.
As the aircraft climbed into the air, it encountered local weather conditions of 14°C temperature and a 5-knot wind blowing at 80 degrees. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 2 miles northwest of Moreira, Portugal, and the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,181 feet above sea level to 36,002 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,821 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 161 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 12 miles north of Viveiro, Spain, and lasted for 32 minutes, covering a distance of 478 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 22 miles south of Kilmore Quay, Ireland, and the aircraft descended from 36,008 feet above sea level to 1,545 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,463 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 98 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10R at Dublin Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading at 95.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,314 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 10R, which had a length of 2,617 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 140 knots.
The touchdown point was 232 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -258 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were 15°C temperature and a 1-knot wind blowing at 271 degrees, with a crosswind component of 0 knots and a tailwind component of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 2,036 meters, which was 78% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft took only 1 minute to taxi to the parking area from the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 745 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 74 minutes, with the aircraft using 1,169 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 10R at Dublin Airport (EIDW) with a score of 95.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 95.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,314 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 131 knots, which was within the acceptable range.
The touchdown point was located 232 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed was good, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. The threshold height at 59 feet agl was slightly above the target, but this did not seem to affect the overall performance of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 271°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 1 knot. The pilot's ability to adapt to these conditions and execute a smooth landing was evident in the overall performance of the aircraft.
The total landing distance was 2,036 meters, which accounted for 78% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and was able to bring it to a stop in a straight line.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the pilot's ability to adapt to the local weather conditions was evident in the overall performance of the aircraft. The score of 95.5% reflects the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot during this landing.
