Narrative:

On approach cleared the visual intercepting final at 2;000 [ft]. We were waiting for glide slope intercept. Passing the final approach fix; no glide slope; so we were now a bit high on approach. VMC conditions and we were late with before landing checklist completion. At 500 ft; unstable for before landing checklist was called and the checklist was then completed. Normal touchdown and landing was then completed. We failed to pick out of the NOTAMS that the glide slope was out for xx. Also; the captain was new on the airplane and it was the end of a long international flight. Better reading of the NOTAMS would have prevented us from waiting for the glide slope to show up.
