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 1,744 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,744 m of the 2,766 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 762 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Dublin Airport, runway 28R, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey, accelerating down the 1,578-meter runway, which covered 51% of its length, before lifting off at a speed of 156 knots. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots from the northwest. As the aircraft cleared the airport, it initiated its enroute climb, ascending from 1,346 feet above sea level to 34,980 feet, a vertical gain of 33,634 feet, over a distance of 138 nautical miles, in 14 minutes.
The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which began overhead Threapwood, England, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering 196 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its descent, starting 3 miles northeast of Dover, England, and gradually descended from 34,618 feet to 2,998 feet, a decrease of 31,620 feet, over a distance of 133 nautical miles, in 13 minutes. The descent phase was punctuated by a brief level cruise, initiated 1 mile west of Nijlen, Belgium, which lasted for 3 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles. The final descent phase began overhead Bonheiden, Belgium, and terminated at Brussels Airport, where the aircraft initiated its final approach to runway 19.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 19 at Brussels Airport, with a touchdown speed of 114 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -142 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 336 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.6 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,654 meters, covering 61% of the runway length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 7 minutes. The total flight distance was 491 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 4,415 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 19 at EBBR Brussels Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target, coming in at 128 kt. Despite this, the touchdown speed of 114 kt was well within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -142 fpm was smooth, indicating a well-controlled descent.
The aircraft landed 336 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, was not excessively far off. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.6 m, which may have contributed to the slightly longer than desired touchdown distance. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 2 kt at 270 °, were generally favorable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,654 m was 61% of the available runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.8 m, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 92.3%.
