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 1,642 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,642 m of the 2,440 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 733 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The B77W taxied from the parking area to runway 18 at EDDF Frankfurt Airport, a movement that required 13 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 18, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 154 kt, using a takeoff distance of 1,595 m which represented 40 % of the runway length; local weather reported a temperature of 19 °C, wind 3 kt from 342°, a 1 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt tailwind.
Climb commenced 2 mi west of Moerfelden-Walldorf, Hessen, Germany, with the airplane rising from 1,298 ft asl to 37,010 ft asl-a gain of 35,711 ft-over 16 minutes while covering 109 nm.
Level cruise began 2 mi west of Monchsdeggingen, Bavaria, Germany, and persisted for 50 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 401 nm.
Descent was initiated 1 mi north-west of Bisenti, Abruzzo, Italy, descending from 36,993 ft asl to 1,660 ft asl, a loss of 35,333 ft in 24 minutes and a distance of 140 nm.
The final approach to runway 24 at LIRN Naples International Airport was flown from the north-east on a heading of 238.0° at 4 nm and 1,344 ft agl; local conditions were 29 °C, wind 3 kt from 213°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
A go-around was executed on runway 24 at LIRN when the aircraft reached 119 ft agl, prompting a climb back to a safe altitude before re-establishing a subsequent approach.
Landing on runway 24, which is 2,440 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 59 ft agl slightly above target and a threshold speed of 149 kt slightly below target; touchdown was recorded 343 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 144 kt and a descent rate of 64 fpm, with the touchdown point offset 8.9 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,588 m, representing 65 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s path was misaligned by 12.0 m from the centreline during the roll.
Taxi-in from the runway to the parking area required 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight logged 791 nm, lasted 142 minutes, and consumed 18,157 kg of fuel.
The B77W executed a final approach to runway 24 at LIRN Naples International Airport from the north-east, tracking a heading of 238.0° at 4 nm and 1,344 ft agl. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the sink rate was too high.
At the threshold the runway measured 2,440 m in length and the threshold height of 59 ft agl was slightly above target, while the threshold speed of 149 kt was slightly below target. Local conditions were 29 °C with wind 3 kt from 213°, providing a 1 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt headwind.
Touchdown occurred 343 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 144 kt, which was recorded as good, and a vertical rate of 64 fpm, described as perfect. The aircraft landed 8.9 m off the centreline and required a total landing distance of 1,588 m, representing 65 % of the runway length.
During rollout the aircraft remained slightly misaligned, deviating 12.0 m from the centreline.
Minor refinements to lateral guidance on final approach will reduce the 8.9 m touchdown offset and the 12.0 m rollout deviation, keeping the aircraft closer to the centreline throughout the landing. Maintaining the current speed and flare technique will preserve the good touchdown speed and vertical rate already achieved.
