Keep the wings level on final
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,774 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 a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 03R at MPTO Tocumen International Airport. The takeoff distance was 895 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at 30 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but the aircraft had a headwind of 7 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Tocumen, where the aircraft ascended from 1,063 feet above sea level to 35,926 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,862 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 117 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 59 miles northwest of Cocle del Norte, Panama, and lasted for 60 minutes, covering a distance of 507 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 2 miles east of San Martin, El Salvador, and descended from 36,111 feet above sea level to 5,904 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,207 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 02 at MGGT La Aurora Airport was made from the south, heading 17.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 982 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 02 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 355 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 119 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -128 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots at 20 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but the aircraft had a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,150 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 739 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 107 minutes. The aircraft used 13,607 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at MGGT La Aurora Airport, achieving a score of 99.7%. The final approach to runway 02 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 17.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 982 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 126 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 355 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 119 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -128 feet per minute was smooth, suggesting a gentle impact on the runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a headwind of 8 knots at 20°. There was no crosswind, which further contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,150 meters was 41% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots were able to maintain a high degree of control and precision throughout the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline as it rolled out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop in a controlled manner. The high score of 99.7% reflects the pilots' skill and expertise in navigating the aircraft through the final approach and landing phases.
