Settle the descent rate
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate 1,670 fpm, more than the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,615 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,615 m of the 4,113 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 524 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the Boeing 777-300 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. With a takeoff distance of 1,779 meters, which equated to 53% of the available runway length, the aircraft lifted off from runway 09 at a liftoff speed of 191 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21°C, with a gentle headwind of 4 knots at a direction of 69°.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it began its ascent from a point 1 mile northeast of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, reaching a height of 31,860 feet above sea level in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 177 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase that followed, which started overhead Stock in England, lasted for 603 minutes and spanned a distance of 4,733 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, initially from 35,981 feet to 30,127 feet in 12 minutes, covering 112 nautical miles, before entering a brief level cruise phase near Morales in Colombia. The final descent phase, which started 3 miles northeast of Sotomayor in Colombia, saw the aircraft descend from 29,518 feet to 10,883 feet in 16 minutes, covering 118 nautical miles.
The Boeing 777-300 finally began its final approach to runway 36 at Mariscal Sucre International Airport, descending from an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,463 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 4,113 meters, at a touchdown speed of 144 knots, slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 149 knots. The total landing distance was 1,532 meters, equivalent to 37% of the available runway length. Following a perfect runway rollout alignment, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,246 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 675 minutes and a fuel consumption of 102,691 kilograms.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 36 at SEQM Mariscal Sucre International Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 149 kt was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown speed of 144 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -378 fpm.
The touchdown point, located 106 m beyond the touchdown zone, was not ideal, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft remained centered on the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25 °C and a light wind of 2 kt at 230 °, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, further reducing the complexity of the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,532 m, which accounted for 37% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was executed well, with a score of 97.8% reflecting the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
