Narrative:
The event occurred on the visual approach to xxr. We were turned in a bit tight to intercept the final and I was slow in getting a rate of descent established sufficient enough to capture the glide slope. We turned the flight directors off and autopilot off and continued. We were stable by 500 feet but exceeded 1;000 FPM below 1;000 feet AGL. I think I reached 1;300 FPM during the correction to capture the glide slope. The landing and taxi in was uneventful. First leg of a three day trip after being off for a few days may have played a role. I haven't done a whole lot of flying since being off for 2 months.my proficiency is coming back to pre-coronavirus time off slowly but surely.
