Slow the descent speed
See Enroute Descent
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 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 2,266 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 413 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 10L at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport in 8 minutes, covering 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 10L, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 1,806 m, representing 50 % of the runway, and lifted off at 155 kt. Local weather at the time was temperature 24 °C, wind 7 kt from 80°, with a 1 kt crosswind component and a 7 kt headwind.
Climb commenced 1 mile north-east of SBGR, with the A320 ascending from 3,428 ft asl to 36,010 ft asl, an increase of 32,583 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 114 nm.
The first level cruise began 7 miles east of Iguape, São Paulo, and lasted 33 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 244 nm.
Descent started 8 miles north of SSSQ Ismael Nunes Airport, São Joaquim, with altitude decreasing from 36,034 ft asl to 10,010 ft asl, a loss of 26,024 ft over 16 minutes and a distance of 102 nm.
A brief second cruise segment originated 7 miles south-east of Nova Petropolis, Rio Grande do Sul, lasting 2 minutes and covering 10 nm.
The subsequent descent began 3 miles west of Ivoti, Rio Grande do Sul, with the aircraft descending from 10,009 ft asl to 1,293 ft asl, a reduction of 8,716 ft in 9 minutes while traveling 35 nm.
Final approach to runway 11 at SBPA Salgado Filho International Airport was executed from the west, on a heading of 91.0°, at 4 nm and 1,272 ft agl.
Landing on runway 11, which is 2,266 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 135 kt. Touchdown distance was 410 m, touchdown speed 127 kt, and touchdown rate minus 91 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Local weather reported temperature 22 °C, wind 4 kt from 170°, with a 4 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind. Total landing distance measured 1,227 m, equal to 54 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 514 nm, took 89 minutes, and consumed 3,303 kg of fuel.
On final approach to runway 11 at SBPA, the Airbus A320 was established on a heading of 91.0° from the west at 4 NM and 1,272 ft AGL. Local weather was 22 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 170°, giving a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind.
The threshold height was reported as good and the aircraft crossed the threshold at a speed of 135 kt, which was described as good.
Touchdown occurred 410 m down the runway, a distance judged good, with a speed of 127 kt that was noted as a little fast. The vertical rate at touchdown was excellent at minus 91 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 1,227 m, representing 54 % of the 2,266 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
Reduce touchdown speed slightly toward the threshold speed of 135 kt to eliminate the slight excess noted. Maintaining the current flare technique will preserve the excellent vertical rate and alignment already achieved.
