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 1,816 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,816 m of the 2,620 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 728 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 25R at Brussels Airport (EBBR) in 11 minutes, covering a ground distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 25R, the aircraft used 1,515 m of runway, representing 46 % of the available length, and lifted off at 161 kt. Ambient conditions were 18 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, providing a 2 kt headwind and a 1 kt crosswind component.
Climb commenced overhead Diegem, Belgium, with the airplane accelerating from 1,045 ft asl to 34,976 ft asl, an altitude gain of 33,931 ft achieved in 21 minutes while traversing 132 nm.
The first cruise segment began 10 nm north of Herne Bay, England, and lasted 25 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 180 nm at level flight.
Descent started 1 nm east of Llanfair Caereinion, Wales, descending from 34,467 ft asl to 25,645 ft asl, a loss of 8,822 ft in 4 minutes over a distance of 26 nm.
A brief cruise followed 1 nm east of Fairbourne, Wales, lasting 2 minutes and covering 15 nm.
The next descent began 14 nm west of Abersoch, Wales, with the aircraft dropping from 24,993 ft asl to 3,117 ft asl, a reduction of 21,876 ft in 12 minutes while traveling 73 nm.
A short cruise segment originated 7 nm north-east of Howth, Ireland, lasting 2 minutes and encompassing 5 nm.
The final descent started 2 nm north-east of Howth, descending from 3,035 ft asl to 1,528 ft asl, a decrease of 1,507 ft in 2 minutes across 5 nm.
On final approach to runway 28L at Dublin Airport (EIDW), the aircraft approached from the east on a heading of 274.0°, at 4 nm and 1,296 ft agl.
Landing on runway 28L, which is 2,620 m long, the threshold speed was 148 kt. Touchdown occurred 314 m beyond the touchdown zone at 136 kt with a touchdown rate of minus 219 fpm; the touchdown point was 5.9 m off the centreline. Weather at the time was 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, providing a 2 kt headwind and no crosswind. The total landing distance was 1,738 m, representing 66 % of the runway.
During rollout the aircraft’s track was 12.6 m off the centreline.
The taxi-in from the runway to the parking area required 7 minutes and covered 2 nm.
In total, the flight covered 447 nm, lasted 90 minutes, and consumed 4,119 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 approached runway 28L at Dublin Airport on a heading of 274.0° from the east, crossing the final approach fix at 4 nm and 1,296 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.
At threshold the height was good and the aircraft established the required threshold speed of 148 kt, which was judged good. The flare resulted in a touchdown point 314 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 136 kt rated good and a touchdown rate fair at minus 219 fpm.
Touchdown occurred 314 m beyond the touchdown zone at 136 kt and minus 219 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was slightly off centreline by 5.9 m.
Rollout used a total landing distance of 1,738 m, representing 66 % of the 2,620 m runway, and the aircraft was slightly misaligned on the runway by 12.6 m from centreline.
With a final score of 93.2 %, the landing was solid overall; focus on tighter centreline tracking during rollout and on achieving a more controlled vertical speed at touchdown to reduce the modest misalignment and rate deviations.
