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 1,560 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,560 m of the 2,790 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 517 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Frankfurt Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the designated runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 25C, the crew initiated the departure roll, and the aircraft accelerated down the 1,782-meter runway, using 45% of its length to reach liftoff speed of 155 knots. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a gentle headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed away from Frankfurt, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Kelsterbach. The crew successfully navigated the aircraft through a 10,658-foot increase in altitude over a distance of 24 nautical miles in just 5 minutes. The climb phase was followed by a controlled descent, initiated overhead Bensheimer Stadtwiesen Airfield Einhausen. The aircraft descended 10,821 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles. The crew then began the final approach to runway 25R at Frankfurt Airport, aligning the aircraft with the runway at 2 nautical miles and 764 feet above ground level.
However, the crew decided to execute a go-around at 54 feet above ground level, likely due to the aircraft's speed or altitude not being within the desired parameters. The aircraft then re-initiated the final approach, and the crew successfully landed on runway 25R, using 53% of the 2,795-meter runway. The touchdown point was 107 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly above the target. The aircraft's touchdown rate of -264 feet per minute was considered fair, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following the landing, the crew taxied the aircraft to the parking area, a process that took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 83 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 1,197 kilograms of fuel during the 28-minute flight.
The final approach to runway 25R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport from the east was initiated at 2 nm and 764 ft above ground level, heading 244.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 75 ft above ground level, well above the target. This was accompanied by a threshold speed of 150 kt, significantly above the target.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was located 107 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal touchdown position. The touchdown speed of 134 kt was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -264 fpm was fair. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating precise control during the landing phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 269°, contributed to a relatively calm environment.
The total landing distance of 1,485 m, accounting for 53% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration phase. Overall, the landing performance scored 91.0%, reflecting a satisfactory execution of the landing procedure.
