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 1,843 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,843 m of the 2,486 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 593 m 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a British Aerospace 146-300, then departed from runway 21 at EGTC Cranfield Airport. The takeoff distance was 881 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 126 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 93 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Cranfield and ascending to an altitude of 28,131 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 67 nautical miles, took 16 minutes and resulted in an increase of 26,763 feet in altitude.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles west of Cocking in West Sussex, England. This cruise phase lasted for 218 minutes and covered a distance of 418 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile south west of Auvillar in Occitanie, France. This descent, which covered a distance of 54 nautical miles, took 10 minutes and resulted in a decrease of 21,028 feet in altitude.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles east of Pouyastruc in Occitanie, France. This cruise phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, starting overhead Lanne in Occitanie, France. This descent, which covered a distance of 7 nautical miles, took 2 minutes and resulted in a decrease of 2,155 feet in altitude.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Livron in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. This cruise phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, starting overhead Artigueloutan in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. This descent, which covered a distance of 5 nautical miles, took 2 minutes and resulted in a decrease of 2,160 feet in altitude.
The final approach to runway 31 at LFBP Pau Pyrénées Airport was made from the south east, with the aircraft heading 306.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,333 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 31, which had a length of 2,486 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 131 knots.
The touchdown point was 172 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 121 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -302 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 60 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,757 meters, which accounted for 71% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 13 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 575 nautical miles, and the flight took 110 minutes, using 8 kilograms of fuel.
The British Aerospace 146-300 aircraft successfully landed at LFBP Pau Pyrénées Airport, achieving a score of 96.5%. The final approach to runway 31 was initiated from the south east, with the aircraft heading 306.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,333 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 172 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 121 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -302 feet per minute was firm, suggesting a relatively abrupt touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 8 knots from a direction of 60°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, as the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance of 1,757 meters was 71% of the available runway length, which is a relatively modest distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a controlled manner.
