Datum thrust and pitch and you can't go wrong. Be level FL5 at the platform. You will be at around 5 degrees and 58%. At about 1 dot go Gear down flap 15, don't touch the thrust! At GS capture go Flap 30, again don't touch the thrust. Nail your 1 degree pitch and you should be Vref30+5 ish.

The biggest mistake is when you get GS capture as there is a significant balloon. Make sure you NAIL 1 degree. 1 degree and 58% will see you good all the way down. Make minor corrections. Don't let the pitch go below 0 or above 2.5 and keep heading changes within 10 degrees.

Slowly, slowly catchy monkey
