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. These checks are the approach's score.

The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 30 at Sharjah International Airport in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 30, the aircraft used 6,827 ft of runway, representing 55 % of the available length, and lifted off at 169 kt; ambient temperature was 88 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 216°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile north-west of Sharjah, where the airplane ascended from 1,059 ft asl to 36,009 ft asl-a gain of 34,950 ft-over 25 minutes while covering 165 nm.
Level cruise began 57 miles north of Das Island Airport and continued for 126 minutes, during which the flight traversed 916 nm.
Descent started 57 miles north of H4 Air Base, with the aircraft descending from 36,000 ft asl to 3,286 ft asl, a loss of 32,714 ft in 19 minutes and a distance of 100 nm.
The final approach to runway 23R at Damascus International Airport reduced altitude from 1,324 ft agl to 53 ft agl in 77 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 23R, which is 11,791 ft long, occurred with a threshold speed of 148 kt; touchdown was 623 ft beyond the touchdown zone at 134 kt, with a smooth vertical speed of minus 125 fpm and a lateral offset of 10 ft from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 66 °F, wind 4 kt from 180°, a 3 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind. The total landing roll measured 5,629 ft, equivalent to 48 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking stand in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,190 nm, required 181 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 15,705 lb of fuel.
The Airbus A320ceo descended on runway 23R at OSDI Damascus International Airport with an unstable approach at the 1,000 ft gate, being more than 20 kt above VREF, and completed the final descent from 1,324 ft agl to 53 ft agl in 77 seconds while scoring on the stabilisation gates; local conditions were 66 °F with wind 4 kt from 180°, including a 3 kt headwind and a 3 kt crosswind.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height but the threshold speed was well above target at 148 kt, indicating excess speed on the flare.
Touchdown occurred 623 ft beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 134 kt, described as a little fast, and the vertical rate was smooth at minus 125 fpm; the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 10 ft from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 5,629 ft, representing 48 % of the 11,791 ft runway, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
Reduce the approach and threshold speeds to meet the VREF target and keep the touchdown point within the designated zone to convert the minor speed excesses into a fully compliant landing.
