engines at idle till final flap setting.
250kts below FL100
turning to final track, about 4-8 NM till GS intercept (depending on wind and gross weight) let it "shoot out" from 250 to 200 in level flight. about 3 NM before glide flaps 1, speed bug rougly 185, flaps 5, bug 170. glide slope capture. still idle.
6NM till rwy, gear down -> lots of drag, flaps15, speed ~ 160, final flaps 30/40 Vref from 125-145 + 5-20kts wind correction. now we are about 4NM out in 1200ft, landing checklist. all should be finished by 1000ft.
