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 2,993 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 477 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Frankfurt Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 07C, with a takeoff distance of 1,158 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 162 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 10°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 60 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb began overhead Frankfurt Airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,369 feet above sea level to 30,182 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,812 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 85 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles east of Dombuhl, a town in Bavaria, Germany, and lasted for 39 minutes, covering a distance of 395 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 2 miles west of Hercegszanto, a town in Hungary, descending from 30,348 feet above sea level to 1,722 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,626 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 86 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12 at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 122.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,388 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft was forced to execute a go-around at 927 feet above ground level. The landing was eventually made on runway 12, with a runway length of 2,993 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 133 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 457 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 129 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -172 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 7°C temperature and a wind speed of 22 knots at 120 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 22 knots.
The total landing distance was 860 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 578 nautical miles, taking 86 minutes, and the aircraft used 863 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (LYBE) on runway 12, achieving a score of 99.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 122.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,388 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 133 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -172 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown without excessive deceleration.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, which is essential for a safe and controlled landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 22 knots from a direction of 120°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 22 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 860 meters was 29% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop safely.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft through the final approach and touchdown phases. However, there is always room for improvement, and the slightly fast touchdown speed is an area that the pilot may want to focus on in future training sessions.
