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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,643 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,643 m of the 3,194 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 324 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from London Gatwick Airport, the Boeing 777-300 initiated its takeoff roll on runway 08R. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 201 kt, clearing the runway threshold at 80% of its 2,008 m length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 16 °C, with a gentle headwind of 2 kt and a crosswind of 6 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb phase, reaching an altitude of 2,911 ft asl after a 1-minute ascent from 1,951 ft asl. The climb continued in stages, with the aircraft reaching a cruise altitude of 33,616 ft asl after a 23-minute climb from 2,906 ft asl. The long-haul flight then entered a prolonged level cruise phase, lasting 502 minutes and covering 3,813 nm. The aircraft's fuel consumption during this period was significant, with the total fuel used reaching 82,747 kg. The cruise phase was punctuated by a descent phase, initiated 34 miles west of Walkers Cay Airport, where the aircraft descended from 35,696 ft asl to 1,271 ft asl in 20 minutes.
The final approach to Miami International Airport's runway 26L was initiated from the east, with the aircraft aligning with the runway at 4 nm and 1,245 ft agl. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 142 kt and a touchdown speed of 138 kt, resulting in a touchdown distance of 324 m. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,565 m, accounting for 49% of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing the flight in 566 minutes and covering a total distance of 4,114 nm.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 26L at KMIA Miami International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft maintained a steady heading of 268.0° as it descended from 4 nautical miles out, at an altitude of 1,245 feet above ground level. The approach was characterized by a stable and consistent rate of descent, culminating in a good threshold height.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was well within the acceptable range, at 138 knots, and the touchdown distance of 324 meters was also satisfactory. The touchdown rate of -367 feet per minute was firm, indicating a controlled and stable touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating from the centreline by 9.3 meters. Despite this, the aircraft's rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating excellent control and stability during the deceleration phase.
The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 1,565 meters, which represented 49% of the runway length. The threshold speed of 142 knots was also good, indicating a well-executed approach and touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22°C and a gentle tailwind of 3 knots, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. Overall, the landing scored 93.4%, reflecting a good but not exceptional performance.
