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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,434 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 305 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A320 started at EPKK Kraków John Paul II International Airport. The taxi from the parking to the runway was quick, taking only 5 minutes and covering less than 1 nm. The departure roll was from runway 25, with a takeoff distance of 1,251 m, which represented 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots. The local weather at departure was 11°C with a wind of 27 knots coming from 250°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 27 knots.
The enroute climb started over Morawica in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship, ascending from 1,762 ft to 35,553 ft, covering 107 nm in 19 minutes. The enroute level cruise lasted 97 minutes, covering 622 nm and starting 2 miles east of Henrykow in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship. The descent phase began 13 miles east of Ingoldmells in Lincolnshire, England, descending from 35,601 ft to 1,545 ft in 21 minutes, covering 104 nm.
Final approach to runway 23R at EGCC Manchester Airport was from the northeast, with the aircraft at 4 nm and 1,316 ft above ground level. The landing took place on the 2,434 m long runway, with the threshold height slightly higher than the target at 59 ft agl. The threshold speed was good at 139 knots. The touchdown distance was 308 m, with a touchdown speed of 136 knots, slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate was very hard at -590 ft/min, and the touchdown position was misaligned by 9.8 m from the centerline. The local weather at the destination was 9°C with a wind of 6 knots from 200°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,269 m, representing 52% of the runway, with a slight misalignment of 10.4 m from the centerline during rollout.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 841 nm, with a duration of 148 minutes and fuel consumption of 5,729 kg.
