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 rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 24L at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24L, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 3,596 ft, representing 41 % of the runway, and lifted off at 148 kt; ambient conditions were 77 °F with a wind of 8 kt from 280°, including a 5 kt crosswind component and a 7 kt headwind.
The climb commenced overhead the departure airport, climbing from 1,036 ft asl to 37,999 ft asl-a gain of 36,963 ft-over 25 minutes while traversing 175 nm.
Cruise began 54 miles southwest of Mazargues in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, France, and continued for 80 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 632 nm at level flight.
Descent was initiated over Schkortleben, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, with the aircraft descending from 38,008 ft asl to 1,470 ft asl, a loss of 36,537 ft in 22 minutes and a distance of 124 nm.
The final approach to runway 24R at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport was flown from the east on a heading of 249.0°, intercepting the approach at 4 nm and 1,308 ft agl.
Landing on runway 24R, which is 10,787 ft long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 136 kt; touchdown occurred 754 ft beyond the touchdown zone at 120 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 236 fpm and very good alignment.
The rollout distance measured 4,562 ft, equivalent to 42 % of the runway, and alignment during the rollout remained very good; local weather at the time was 72 °F with a wind of 9 kt from 280°, a 4 kt crosswind and a 7 kt headwind.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 7 minutes, covering 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 940 nm, lasted 144 minutes, and consumed 12,802 lb of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 completed the final approach to runway 24R at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport from the east on a heading of 249.0° at 4 nm and 1,308 ft agl. The 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 was aligned with the centreline under wind 9 kt at 280° (crosswind 4 kt, headwind 7 kt) and temperature 72 °F.
At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 136 kt, indicating the aircraft was correctly configured for landing.
Touchdown occurred 754 ft beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 120 kt that was judged good. The vertical speed at touchdown was fair at minus 236 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 4,562 ft, representing 42 % of the 10,787-ft runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
Coaching should focus on refining flare timing to achieve a slightly shallower sink rate and to bring the touchdown point nearer the 1,000-ft aim point, which will further optimise runway usage while preserving the excellent alignment already demonstrated.
