See Arrival Final 2
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,295 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 356 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Boeing 777-300 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at London Heathrow Airport, taking approximately 6 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 09R, with a takeoff distance of 1,376 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 183 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of London Heathrow, it encountered local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 50 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was also 2 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile northwest of Feltham, Greater London, where the aircraft climbed from 1,194 feet above sea level to 6,030 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,836 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began approximately 1 mile northeast of Chertsey, Surrey, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb, this time from overhead Upper Basildon, West Berkshire, where it climbed from 6,026 feet above sea level to 34,137 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,111 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued for a significant portion of the flight, starting 7 miles north of Lynton, Devon, and lasting for 212 minutes, covering a distance of 1,618 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb, this time from a location with coordinates Latitude: 39.6029745 and Longitude: -38.9522489, where it climbed from 34,065 feet above sea level to 35,937 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,872 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued once again, starting from a location with coordinates Latitude: 39.4699888 and Longitude: -39.1862956, and lasting for 206 minutes, covering a distance of 1,675 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent, beginning 103 miles northeast of The Valley, Anguilla, and descending from 35,870 feet above sea level to 1,473 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,397 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 117 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at Princess Juliana International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 82.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,455 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 10 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 357 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was also good at 127 knots, but the touchdown rate was hard at -459 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at Princess Juliana International Airport were 28°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 30 degrees, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,197 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,557 nautical miles, taking a total of 474 minutes, and the aircraft used 60,697 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport, achieving a score of 95.6%. The final approach to runway 10 was conducted from the west, heading 82.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,455 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 132 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 357 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was also within acceptable limits, further emphasizing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent.
Despite the good touchdown speed, the touchdown rate was reported as hard, with a rate of -459 feet per minute. This may indicate that the aircraft was touching down with a slightly higher rate of descent than desired, although it did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.2 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a minor error in the pilot's alignment with the runway. However, this deviation did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 30°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions were relatively calm and did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing performance.
The total landing distance of 1,197 meters was 52% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot was able to manage the aircraft's descent and touchdown speed effectively, resulting in a smooth and controlled landing.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and align it with the centreline of the runway. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent and touchdown.
