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 2,119 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,119 m of the 3,075 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 532 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A320 began with a smooth taxi from the parking area to the runway at EGCC Manchester, taking 8 minutes to cover 2 nm. The departure roll from runway 05L was successful, with a takeoff distance of 1,639 m, using 67% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots. The local weather at departure showed a temperature of 13 °C, with a wind of 11 knots coming from 360°, resulting in a 9 knot crosswind and a 7 knot headwind.
The enroute climb started 1 mile west of Cheadle Hulme, climbing from 1,261 ft asl to 29,897 ft asl in 19 minutes, covering 109 nm. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase over Aston Clinton for 16 minutes, covering 117 nm. The subsequent descent began 11 miles northwest of Bray-Dunes, descending from 30,157 ft asl to 2,987 ft asl in 18 minutes, covering 107 nm. After a brief level cruise over Geetbets for 4 minutes, covering 13 nm, the final descent phase started 1 mile west of Aarschot, descending from 2,980 ft asl to 1,862 ft asl in 2 minutes, covering 6 nm.
The landing on runway 25R at EBBR Brussels National was smooth, with a runway length of 3,075 m. The aircraft touched down 530 m from the threshold at a speed of 137 knots, with a VSI of -307 ft/m. The total landing distance was 2,041 m, using 66% of the runway. The local weather at landing showed a temperature of 15 °C, with a wind of 6 knots coming from 30°, resulting in a 4 knot crosswind and a 5 knot tailwind.
Finally, the taxi back to the parking area took 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 363 nm, taking 81 minutes in total and using 2,974 kg of fuel.
