Hold the approach angle
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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,671 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 452 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777F departed NZAA Auckland International Airport on runway 23L, using a takeoff distance of 785 m which represented 21 % of the runway. Liftoff was achieved at 165 kt. Ambient conditions were 19 °C with a wind of 16 kt from 300°, providing a cross-wind component of 12 kt and a head-wind component of 11 kt.
Climb began overhead the departure airport, ascending from 908 ft asl to 1,619 ft asl - an increase of 711 ft - in 1 minute while covering 3 nm.
The cruise segment started 3 miles south-west of NZAA and continued for 6 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 16 nm.
During the final approach to runway 23L the aircraft approached from the east on a heading of 252.0° at 2 nm and 755 ft agl.
Landing was performed on runway 23L, whose length is 3,671 m. The threshold speed was 128 kt and touchdown occurred at 453 m down the runway with a speed of 122 kt. The aircraft touched down with a vertical rate of minus 366 fpm and was laterally offset by 3.6 m from the centreline. Weather at the time was 16 °C with a wind of 18 kt from 300°, giving a cross-wind component of 14 kt and a head-wind component of 12 kt. Total landing distance was 1,306 m, representing 36 % of the runway.
Rollout continued with the aircraft remaining slightly off centreline, measured at 15.8 m from the centreline.
In summary, the flight covered a total of 22 nm, required 9 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 24,886 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 23L at Auckland International Airport was conducted from the east on a heading of 252.0° at 2 NM and 755 ft agl, with a temperature of 16 °C, wind 18 kt from 300°, providing a 12 kt headwind component and a 14 kt cross-wind component.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good height and the threshold speed was good at 128 kt.
Touchdown occurred 453 m down the runway at a speed of 122 kt, which was judged good, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 366 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly off the centreline by 3.6 m.
The total landing distance measured 1,306 m, representing 36 % of the 3,671 m runway, and the rollout remained misaligned by 15.8 m from the centreline.
To improve the score, concentrate on maintaining centreline alignment through touchdown and rollout, as the primary deviations were lateral. Ensuring a more precise track will reduce the misalignment figures while preserving the strong overall performance reflected by the 86.1 % score.
