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 1,818 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,818 m of the 4,265 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 508 m past the threshold — beyond 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 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 32L at CYXY Whitehorse / Erik Nielsen International Airport. The takeoff distance was 829 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -28°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 329°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started enroute climb 1 mile northwest of Whitehorse, ascending from 3,317 feet above sea level to 37,384 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,068 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 74 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 16 miles northeast of CYSQ Atlin Airport Atlin, British Columbia, Canada, and lasted for 88 minutes, covering a distance of 739 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 12 miles north of CYLE Lake Louise Airport Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada, and involved a descent from 36,647 feet above sea level to 4,849 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,798 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 98 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 35R at CYYC Calgary International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 0.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,283 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 35R at CYYC Calgary International Airport was successful, with a touchdown point 87 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was considered good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -203 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -17°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 350°.
The total landing distance was 1,732 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 919 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 137 minutes. The aircraft used 15,220 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Calgary International Airport (CYYC) on runway 35R. The final approach was initiated from the south, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 0.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was marked by a high level of precision, with a score of 98.7%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 140 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown point was located 87 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun but still within a safe margin. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's descent.
However, the touchdown rate of -203 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown. This could be attributed to various factors, including the aircraft's weight, the runway's surface conditions, or the pilot's technique.
Despite the slight overrun and fair touchdown rate, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of -17°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 350°, also played a significant role in the landing. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach.
The total landing distance of 1,732 meters was 41% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to come to a safe stop. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's deceleration and maintaining a stable alignment with the runway.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of precision and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, the slight overrun and fair touchdown rate suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement in the pilot's technique or the aircraft's performance.
