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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,618 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,618 m of the 2,873 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 397 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Nashville International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 20C, the crew initiated the departure roll, and the aircraft lifted off the ground after a takeoff distance of 1,319 meters, which accounted for 54% of the available runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots, and the aircraft climbed away from the airport, taking advantage of a 29-knot headwind and a 9-knot crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it began its ascent from 1,527 feet above sea level, eventually reaching 34,754 feet, an increase of 33,227 feet in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 138 nautical miles. The crew then leveled off and maintained a steady cruise speed for 29 minutes, covering an additional 239 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 7 miles north of Craigsville, Virginia, and continued to descend to 4,337 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,621 feet in 25 minutes and covering 157 nautical miles. The crew then leveled off again for a brief period, before initiating the final descent, which began overhead Burtonsville, Maryland, and ended with a touchdown on runway 10 at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.
The landing was executed with good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown speed, with the aircraft touching down at 135 knots. The touchdown distance was 397 meters, which was 53% of the available runway length. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,536 meters, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 567 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 3,920 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted a total of 96 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 10 at KBWI Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft maintained a heading of 94.0° from 4 nautical miles away, at an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level, and successfully aligned with the runway. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 135 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown distance of 397 meters was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate of -244 feet per minute was slightly higher than desired, indicating a slightly steeper descent than intended. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.2 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a minor control issue during the final stages of the landing.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment with the runway centreline, demonstrating good control and stability during the deceleration phase. The total landing distance of 1,536 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 98.2% reflecting the aircraft's good control and precision during the approach and landing phases, despite some minor deviations in the touchdown characteristics.
