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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,642 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 487 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
TAP Air Portugal flight CS-TVG taxied from the parking area to runway 06R at Berlin Brandenburg Airport, covering 2 nm in 8 minutes.
The aircraft commenced the departure roll on runway 06R, achieving a takeoff distance of 1,506 m 38 % of runway and lifting off at 158 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 14 °C, wind 2 kt at 80 °, with a crosswind component of 0 kt and a headwind component of 1 kt.
Climb began overhead EDDB, ascending from 1,122 ft asl to 38,933 ft asl, a gain of 37,811 ft over 22 minutes while covering 145 nm.
The first level cruise segment started over Wundersleben, Thuringia, lasting 60 minutes and encompassing 459 nm.
Descent commenced 1 mile north east of Pornassio, Liguria, descending from 39,003 ft asl to 3,989 ft asl, a loss of 35,014 ft in 19 minutes and covering 121 nm.
A subsequent cruise phase began 5 miles east of Saint-Raphael, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
The next descent started 2 miles south east of Theoule-sur-Mer, descending from 3,997 ft asl to 1,298 ft asl, a reduction of 2,700 ft in 4 minutes over 10 nm.
Final approach to runway 04L at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport was executed from the south-west on a heading of 45.0°, at 4 nm and 1,278 ft agl.
The aircraft touched down on runway 04L, which is 2,642 m long, with a threshold speed of 133 kt. Touchdown occurred 57 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 128 kt and a vertical rate of minus 267 fpm. Local conditions were temperature 27 °C, wind 4 kt at 330 °, crosswind 4 kt, headwind 1 kt.
Runway rollout distance measured 1,117 m 42 % of runway and alignment was reported as very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 750 nm, required 118 minutes of flight time, and consumed 3,871 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 04L at LFMN Nice-Côte d’Azur Airport was flown by TAP Air Portugal flight CS-TVG and received a 98.7 % score. From the south-west the aircraft intercepted the final approach at 4 NM and 1,278 ft agl on a heading of 45.0°, and the approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At the threshold the runway length was 2,642 m and the threshold height was reported as good. The published threshold speed was 133 kt; the aircraft touched down 57 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 128 kt. The touchdown rate was recorded as fair at minus 267 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Ambient temperature was 27 °C with wind 4 kt from 330°, giving a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
The total landing distance measured 1,117 m, representing 42 % of the available runway. The aircraft remained on the centreline throughout the roll and the distance used was well within runway limits.
Runway rollout alignment was described as very good, with the aircraft tracking the centreline to the stop.
To tighten the touchdown point, aim to arrest the flare within the designated touchdown zone rather than beyond it, and refine flare technique to reduce the descent rate toward the runway. Maintaining these adjustments will help convert the already high score into an even tighter performance.
