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 2,483 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 299 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight on the Airbus A321 began with a 10-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at EDDF Frankfurt/Main. The departure roll on runway 18 covered a distance of 1,746 meters, which was 44% of the total runway length. The aircraft had a liftoff speed of 176 knots. The local weather at departure was 16°C with a 2-knot wind coming from 200°, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and 2-knot headwind.
The enroute climb started 2 miles west of Moerfelden-Walldorf in Hessen, Germany. The climb took the aircraft from 1,375 feet above sea level to 33,283 feet, covering 132 nautical miles in 24 minutes. The level cruise phase began 3 miles southeast of Mouzon in Grand Est, France, lasting 157 minutes and covering 1,041 nautical miles.
Another enroute climb commenced at a location with coordinates Latitude: 37.6028249, Longitude: -12.3453538. This climb took the aircraft from 33,666 feet to 35,287 feet, covering 15 nautical miles in 2 minutes. The subsequent level cruise phase started at Latitude: 37.4064824, Longitude: -12.5670671, lasting 371 minutes and covering 239 nautical miles.
The descent phase started 80 miles northeast of LPPS Porto Santo in Madeira, Portugal. The aircraft descended from 35,314 feet to 1,816 feet, covering 116 nautical miles in 22 minutes.
