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 9,864 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,812 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 30 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft, a FNX320_TCACFM, then departed from runway 09 at Miami International Airport (KMIA) in Miami, Florida. The takeoff distance was 4,771 feet, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 150 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 86°F and winds of 8 knots at 130°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started overhead KMIA, where the aircraft ascended from 1,054 feet above sea level to 36,563 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,509 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 159 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 48 miles north of Las Brujas Airport (MUBR) in Cayo Santa Maria, Cuba, and lasted for 90 minutes, covering a distance of 646 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent from a latitude of 13.1333102 and a longitude of -75.5287769, descending from 36,453 feet above sea level to 2,652 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,801 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 145 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 2 miles southwest of Baranoa in the Departamento del Atlantico, Colombia, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 05 at Ernesto Cortissoz International Airport (SKBQ) was made from the southwest, heading 40.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,295 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 05 at SKBQ was successful, with a touchdown point 441 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 122 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was fair at -283 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were a temperature of 88°F and winds of 8 knots at 50°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,497 feet, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 11 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 971 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 165 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 13,132 pounds.
The aircraft, FNX320_TCACFM, successfully landed at SKBQ Ernesto Cortissoz International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The final approach to runway 05 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 40.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,295 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The landing was executed with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also within the acceptable range at 131 knots. The touchdown point was located 441 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal spot but still within a safe margin. The touchdown speed of 122 knots was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing.
However, the touchdown rate of -283 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent during the final stages of the approach. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 88°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach.
The total landing distance of 3,497 feet was 35% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and landing phases. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate, the overall performance of the aircraft was impressive, and the landing was executed safely and efficiently.
