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.

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 2,380 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 134 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-300 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than one nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 24L at Montreal/Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,314 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 181 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 2°C temperature and a wind speed of 21 knots at 280 degrees. The crosswind component was 18 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Dorval, Quebec, Canada, where the aircraft climbed from 1,143 feet above sea level to 31,404 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,261 feet in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 51 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 2 miles south of Redford, New York, United States, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase resumed 3 miles south of Wilmington, New York, United States, where the aircraft climbed from 32,194 feet above sea level to 40,093 feet above sea level, an increase of 7,900 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 5 miles west of Schroon Lake, New York, United States, and lasting for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 43 nautical miles. However, the enroute descent phase started 5 miles northwest of Saratoga Springs, New York, United States, where the aircraft descended from 40,547 feet above sea level to 3,091 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,456 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1,058 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another climb phase, starting 1 mile west of Sea Ranch Lakes, Florida, United States, where it climbed from 3,112 feet above sea level to 5,413 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,301 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase resumed overhead Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States, where the aircraft descended from 5,414 feet above sea level to 1,257 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,158 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10L at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 92.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,233 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 140 knots and a touchdown distance of 132 meters. The touchdown rate was hard at -407 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 27°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 230 degrees, with a crosswind component of 6 knots and a tailwind component of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 953 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than one nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,211 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 31 minutes
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (KFLL) on runway 10L. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 92.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,233 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 142 knots, registering at 140 knots. This is considered a good touchdown speed, as it allows for a controlled descent and minimizes the risk of a hard landing. The touchdown distance of 132 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the aircraft's descent was well-managed.
However, the touchdown rate was reported as hard, with a rate of -407 feet per minute (fpm). This is a concern, as a hard touchdown can put excessive stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially lead to damage. Despite this, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.7 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was relatively low at 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 8 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 953 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a controlled deceleration.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and rolling out smoothly. However, the hard touchdown rate is a concern that should be addressed to prevent potential damage to the aircraft.
