My typical descent rate, depending on wind, was 1200 fpm landing in TGU Honduras. That was to the threshold and was considered normal. It is very manageable but doesn't meet the stabilized approach criteria for a normal airport. After 600 landings I was very comfortable with that. Just don't get slow. That is a B757 so assume any other aircraft can do the same.
