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 3,890 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 753 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 17 at LIBC Crotone Airport, a movement that required 7 minutes and covered 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 17, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 155 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,223 m, which represented 67 % of the runway length; local weather was 27 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 131°, including a 2 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead Isola di Capo Rizzuto, with the airplane ascending from 1,497 ft asl to 24,011 ft asl, an increase of 22,514 ft achieved in 10 minutes while covering 44 nm.
The first cruise segment began 1 mile north-east of Filadelfia, lasting 25 minutes and extending over 191 nm.
Descent started 4 miles south-west of Gaeta, during which altitude fell from 23,958 ft asl to 6,008 ft asl, a loss of 17,949 ft in 12 minutes while traversing 76 nm.
A second cruise phase was initiated 1 mile south-east of LIYA Aviosuperficie La Celsetta Poggio Ellera, lasting 8 minutes and covering 32 nm.
The subsequent descent began 2 miles north-west of Capranica, with the aircraft descending from 5,996 ft asl to 1,353 ft asl, a reduction of 4,643 ft in 7 minutes across 23 nm.
Final approach to runway 16L at LIRF Rome-Fiumicino was conducted from the north on a heading of 163.0°, entering the approach at 4 nm and 1,333 ft agl; the aircraft then descended from 1,376 ft agl to 94 ft agl in 97 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 16L, which is 3,890 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 58 ft agl slightly above target and a threshold speed of 140 kt; touchdown was recorded 337 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 130 kt, a vertical rate of minus 287 fpm, and a lateral offset of 7.5 m from the centreline, while local conditions were 26 °C, wind 4 kt from 260°, a 4 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
Runway rollout measured 1,296 m, representing 33 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout was described as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
In total, the flight covered 381 nm, took 76, and consumed 3,792 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 entered final approach to runway 16L at LIRF from the north on a heading of 163.0° at 4 nm and 1,333 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits, and the aircraft descended from 1,376 ft agl to 94 ft agl in 97 seconds.
At threshold the height of 58 ft agl was slightly above target, while the threshold speed of 140 kt was recorded as good.
Touchdown occurred 337 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 130 kt judged good and a vertical rate of minus 287 fpm described as fair. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned, being 7.5 m off the centreline.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,296 m, representing 33 % of the 3,890 m runway, and runway-rollout alignment was very good.
Future landings would benefit from adjusting the flare to achieve a touchdown point nearer the intended zone and refining lateral control to reduce the 7.5 m centreline offset, thereby maintaining the strong rollout alignment already demonstrated.
