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 five checks, where the approach path is 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 3,335 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 434 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 28 at GMMX Menara Airport in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 28, the aircraft accelerated over a distance of 1,429 m, representing 46 % of the runway, and lifted off at 148 kt. Ambient conditions were 46 °C with a wind of 17 kt from 278°, providing a 17 kt headwind and a 1 kt crosswind.
Climb commenced overhead GMMX Menara Airport, rising from 2,522 ft asl to 38,990 ft asl, an increase of 36,468 ft achieved in 40 minutes while covering 310 nm.
The first cruise segment began 6 mi south-west of Barbate, Andalusia, and continued for 103 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 938 nm.
Descent was initiated 1 mi north of Buttwil, Kanton Aargau, with the aircraft descending from 38,742 ft asl to 3,661 ft asl, a loss of 35,081 ft in 13 minutes and a distance of 101 nm.
A brief second cruise started overhead Kirchheim unter Teck, Baden-Württemberg, lasting 2 minutes and covering 8 nm.
The final approach to runway 25 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport was flown from the east on a heading of 254.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,227 ft agl.
Landing on runway 25 was executed with a threshold speed of 132 kt, touchdown distance of 433 m, touchdown speed of 124 kt, and a touchdown rate of excellent at minus 76 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was very good. The runway length is 3,335 m, and the total landing distance recorded was 988 m, equivalent to 30 % of the runway. Local weather at the time was 27 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 330°, a 2 kt crosswind and no headwind.
Runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft continued along the runway before exiting.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm. The flight covered a total of 1,364 nm, took 164 minutes, and consumed 7,947 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 completed the final approach to runway 25 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport from the east, tracking a heading of 254.0° at 4 nm and 1,227 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. Local weather was 27 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 330°, giving a 2 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.
At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 132 kt. The flare was executed in accordance with the good threshold parameters.
Touchdown occurred 433 m down the runway, a distance described as good, with a touchdown speed of 124 kt judged good and a touchdown rate of -76 fpm rated excellent. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 988 m, representing 30 % of the 3,335 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
Minor refinement of the flare to achieve a touchdown point nearer the 300 m aim point would bring the already excellent performance into tighter alignment with the ideal touchdown zone, while preserving the current touchdown speed and rate.
