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 1,721 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,721 m of the 4,008 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 568 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A380 started with a smooth taxi from the parking area to the runway at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport in Lisbon. The taxiing took 6 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nm. The aircraft entered runway 02 with an average speed of 18 kn. The departure roll on runway 02 covered 46% of the runway with a takeoff distance of 1,449 m. The liftoff speed was 157 kn, and the local weather at the time of departure was 12°C with a 7 kn wind coming at 30°, resulting in a 1 kn crosswind and a 7 kn headwind.
During the departure climb, the aircraft ascended from LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport, reaching 50 ft, 400 ft, and then 1,000 ft above ground level. The enroute climb started over Camarate and continued as the aircraft climbed from 1,339 ft above sea level to 37,190 ft, covering 49 nm in 14 minutes.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft maintained level flight for 599 minutes, covering a distance of 4,033 nm. The enroute descent began near Itaocara in Brazil, descending from 38,838 ft to 1,448 ft over a span of 25 minutes and covering 101 nm.
During the final approach to runway 10 at SBGL Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,414 ft above ground level to 72 ft in a series of decreasing altitudes. The landing on the 4,008 m runway was slightly above the target threshold height, with a good touchdown speed of 136 kn. The touchdown point was slightly beyond the touchdown zone, with a fair touchdown rate of -284 ft/m.
After landing, the aircraft covered a total landing distance of 1,639 m, which was 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.9 m from the centerline. The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 14 minutes to cover 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 4,192 nm over a duration of 660 minutes, consuming 244,562 lbs of fuel. The flight was successfully completed with a series of smooth operations from takeoff to touchdown.
