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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,898 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 278 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-600 taxied from the parking area to runway 27R at KPHL Philadelphia International Airport in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 27R, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 1,400 m (48 % of runway) and lifted off at 136 kt; local weather reported a temperature of 26 °C, wind 4 kt at 290 °, with a 3 kt crosswind and a 4 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead KPHL, ascending from 948 ft asl to 39,948 ft asl-a gain of 39,000 ft-in 32 minutes while traversing 219 nm.
The first cruise segment began over Aaronsburg, Pennsylvania, and continued for 69 minutes, covering 500 nm at level flight.
Descent started 6 mi east of 1LL3 Dale A. Klassing Liberty, Illinois, descending from 39,993 ft asl to 3,072 ft asl, a loss of 36,921 ft in 27 minutes and spanning 171 nm.
A brief cruise followed over MO94 Starr Airport, Trimble, Missouri, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
Subsequent descent began 1 mi south of 1MU2 Smitty's Landing Airport, Ridgely, Missouri, dropping from 2,806 ft asl to 2,302 ft asl, a decrease of 505 ft in 2 minutes over 4 nm.
The final approach to runway 19L at KMCI Kansas City International Airport was executed from the north, on a heading of 193.0 °, at 4 nm and 1,277 ft agl.
Landing on runway 19L, which is 2,898 m long, featured a threshold speed of 124 kt, touchdown distance of 277 m, touchdown speed of 120 kt, and a touchdown rate of minus 96 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was perfect and local weather recorded a temperature of 26 °C, wind 6 kt at 210 °, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 5 kt headwind.
The rollout distance measured 700 m, representing 24 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment remained perfect.
Taxi-in to the parking area from the runway required 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 906 nm, lasted 138 minutes, and consumed 5,687 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 approached runway 19L at KMCI from the north on a heading of 193.0° at 4 nm and 1,277 ft agl. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, and the aircraft maintained a score of 100.0 % for the approach segment.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 124 kt, indicating a marginal excess over the expected value.
Touchdown occurred 277 m down the runway, with a touchdown speed of 120 kt described as a little fast, a touchdown rate of -96 fpm rated excellent, and runway touchdown alignment perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 700 m, representing 24 % of the 2,898 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
Fine-tune speed management to bring the threshold and touchdown speeds within the target envelope, and maintain the precise flare timing already demonstrated.
