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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,176 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,176 m of the 3,452 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 677 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Beijing Daxing International Airport (ZBAD), the Airbus A300 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 17R, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,667-meter stretch of the 3,452-meter runway, which accounted for 44% of its length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 170 knots, taking advantage of the 5-knot headwind and minimal crosswind conditions.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into a steady ascent, reaching an altitude of 29,875 feet above sea level in just 17 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles. The climb phase was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with the aircraft rising by 28,794 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 1,333 minutes and covered a distance of 932 nautical miles. The cruise phase was punctuated by a brief descent phase, which began 10 miles east of Shiqi, China, and lasted for 15 minutes, covering a distance of 94 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off again, this time for a short period of 2 minutes, before commencing its final approach to runway 07C at Hong Kong International Airport (VHHH).
The final approach was conducted from the southwest, with the aircraft descending from 30,204 feet above sea level to 1,894 feet above sea level. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 126 knots, with a touchdown rate of -159 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 259 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 1,161 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 16,777 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted for 3 hours and 12 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 07C at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport, demonstrating good threshold height and speed control. The threshold speed of 132 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled approach. The touchdown point was located 259 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, did not compromise the overall safety of the landing.
The touchdown speed of 126 kt was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -159 fpm was good, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24 °C and a gentle headwind of 6 kt, were conducive to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 2,093 m was 61% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.9 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the rollout path. Overall, the landing was considered good, with a score of 94.6%.
