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 3,998 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 314 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 26L at OJAI Queen Alia International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,106 meters, which is 30% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C, a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, and a crosswind of 0 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it started its enroute climb from 3,338 feet above sea level (asl) to 27,492 ft asl, an increase of 24,154 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 38 nautical miles. The climb took place over Al Jizah in the Amman Governorate, Jordan. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles east of Bani Na`im in the West Bank. This phase lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 117 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 26 miles north of HE36 Bardawil International Airport El Hassana in the North Sinai, Egypt. The aircraft descended from 27,999 ft asl to 4,584 ft asl, a decrease of 23,415 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 73 nautical miles. The descent phase was followed by another level cruise phase, which started 7 miles south-east of Z10T Bilbays 2 Bilbays in the Muhafazat ash Sharqiyah, Egypt. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began 10 miles south of HE37 Bilbeis Air Base Bilbeis in the Muhafazat ash Sharqiyah, Egypt. The aircraft descended from 4,502 ft asl to 1,390 ft asl, a decrease of 3,112 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23L at HECA Cairo International Airport from the north-east, heading 233.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,037 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing on runway 23L at HECA Cairo International Airport was successful, with a runway length of 3,998 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 314 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 144 knots. The touchdown rate was very hard at -568 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°, and a crosswind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 924 meters, which is 23% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft took 13 minutes to taxi to the parking area from the runway, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 253 nautical miles, taking 59 minutes, and the aircraft used 19 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 23L at HECA Cairo International Airport, achieving a score of 94.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 233.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,037 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 3,998 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good.
During the landing, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 144 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 314 meters was considered good. The touchdown speed of 144 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -568 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down with a significant amount of deceleration, which may have been caused by the high speed at touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the aircraft's heading or the wind conditions. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, which suggests that the wind was relatively calm.
The total landing distance of 924 meters was 23% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, such as reducing the touchdown speed and improving the touchdown rate.
