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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,032 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 624 m past the threshold — beyond 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, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 24L at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,241 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 190 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of Barcelona, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile southwest of the airport. The climb took 10 minutes to reach an altitude of 17,570 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,511 feet from the initial altitude of 1,059 feet. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 33 nautical miles. The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which began 28 miles southeast of Vilassar de Mar, a town in the Catalunya region of Spain. This phase of the flight lasted for 20 minutes and covered a distance of 102 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 9 miles south of Les Cabannes, a town in the Occitanie region of France. The descent took 7 minutes to reduce the altitude from 17,441 feet to 10,843 feet, a decrease of 6,598 feet. The aircraft then leveled off and began another cruise phase, this time overhead Le Plan, a town in the Occitanie region of France. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent phase, which started 1 mile southeast of Lherm, a town in the Occitanie region of France. The descent took 5 minutes to reduce the altitude from 10,320 feet to 3,208 feet, a decrease of 7,112 feet. The aircraft then leveled off and began another cruise phase, this time overhead Launac, a town in the Occitanie region of France. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14L at LFBO Toulouse-Blagnac Airport was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 143.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 14L, which had a length of 3,032 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 138 knots.
The touchdown point was 210 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was also good at -198 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 310 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,337 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 225 nautical miles, and the flight took 56 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 3,488 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport, achieving a high score of 97.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 143.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, setting the stage for a smooth touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 14L, which has a length of 3,032 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 138 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during the landing phase.
The touchdown point was 210 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation from the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -198 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the acceptable range. This suggests that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown smoothly, minimizing the risk of damage to the aircraft or injury to the passengers.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 310°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. These conditions contributed to a relatively easy landing, with the aircraft able to maintain its alignment with the runway.
The total landing distance of 1,337 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's weight and the weather conditions. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway after touchdown and during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, demonstrating the pilot's expertise in handling the Airbus A320.
