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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,168 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 593 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 22 at EGSS London Stansted Airport in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 22, the Boeing 737-800 accelerated for a takeoff distance of 880 m, representing 29 % of the runway, and lifted off at 139 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 17 °C, wind 13 kt from 230°, with a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 13 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead EGSS, climbing from 1,458 ft asl to 34,012 ft asl, an increase of 32,554 ft achieved in 11 minutes while covering 55 nm.
Cruise began 2 miles south-east of Collyweston, lasting 10 minutes and encompassing 66 nm of level flight.
Descent started over South Elmsall, descending from 33,998 ft asl to 1,540 ft asl, a loss of 32,458 ft in 19 minutes and covering 99 nm.
The final approach to runway 25 at EGNT Newcastle Airport involved a descent from 1,336 ft agl to 64 ft agl over 130 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 25, which is 2,168 m long, occurred with a threshold speed slightly above target at 129 kt. Touchdown was recorded 161 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 111 kt and a vertical rate of minus 231 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 15.7 m from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 17 °C, wind 11 kt from 230°, with a 3 kt cross-wind and a 10 kt head-wind component.
The runway rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,084 m, equal to 50 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s alignment during rollout was off by 19.9 m from the centreline.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied back to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 226 nm, took 49 minutes, and consumed 1,910 kg of fuel.
