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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,471 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,920 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a FFX P180, then departed from runway 26 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,139 feet, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 121 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 44°F, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 309°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile north of Birgitz, Tirol, Austria, and ascended from 2,928 feet above sea level to 29,211 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,282 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 46 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Durchholzen, Tirol, Austria, and lasted for 240 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 29,211 feet above sea level to 35,616 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,405 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile south east of Waging am See, Bavaria, Germany, and lasted for 85 minutes, covering a distance of 877 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent 6 miles south east of Safonovo, Smolensk Oblast, Russia. The descent from 34,802 feet above sea level to 6,479 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,323 feet in 20 minutes, covered a distance of 121 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again 9 miles east of Balabanovo, Kaluga Oblast, Russia, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent 2 miles west of Chekhov, Moscow Oblast, Russia. The descent from 6,480 feet above sea level to 1,966 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,514 feet in 10 minutes, covered a distance of 28 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 24 at UUWW Vnukovo International Airport was made from the east, heading 248.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,312 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 24 was successful, with a touchdown point 522 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 102 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -64 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°F, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 230°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,696 feet, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,121 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 153 minutes. The aircraft used 2,084 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as FFX P180 03 01, successfully landed at UUWW Vnukovo International Airport on runway 24. The final approach was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading 248.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,312 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision, achieving a good threshold height and a touchdown speed of 102 knots, which was within the target range.
The touchdown point was located 522 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown rate of -64 feet per minute (fpm) was exceptional, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which is a favorable condition for landing. The total landing distance of 3,696 feet was 32% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 98.5%. The pilot's performance was impressive, and the aircraft's handling characteristics were well-suited to the conditions.
