Flare,

The same as the 200-300-500-700.

-250Kts to 13miles- (11-12 DME if below 90Klbs -calm winds assuming under GS. If on GS at 250 all the way in you'll obviously need to duck at an intermediate level to dissipate energy or level off and store some energy for an early configuration)
-Idle power. Flaps to 5 as you near GS. Flaps 5 to 1400-1500 feet then Gear down, Flaps 15 (about 1 dot high on GS -stored energy)
-Approaching 1000 AGL, Flaps 25 and then landing flaps
-Stored energy allows aircraft to settle nicely on GS in idle by 500 AGL on-speed
-Smooth spool at 500 AGl
-If landing for a long rollout to opposite end, Idle reverse to 80 kts and then smooth braking thereafter

Keeps the fuel bills lower, less wear and tear, keeps the neighbors happy, and the passengers almost always comment. So do the Cabin Crew.
