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 471 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777F taxied from the parking area to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport in less than one minute, covering less than one nautical mile.
During the departure roll on runway 23L, the aircraft accelerated over a distance of 1,058 m, representing 29 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 162 kt. Ambient conditions were 17 °C with a wind of 8 kt from 230°, including a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 7 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead the airport, rising from 1,329 ft asl to 1,635 ft asl - a gain of 305 ft - in one minute while traversing 2 nm.
Level cruise began approximately three miles southwest of the airport and continued for five minutes, during which the aircraft covered 14 nm.
The final approach to runway 23L was executed from the east on a heading of 254.0°, with the aircraft positioned 4 nm from the threshold at an altitude of 1,242 ft agl.
Touchdown occurred 55 m beyond the designated touchdown zone on runway 23L, whose total length is 3,671 m. The aircraft crossed the threshold at 144 kt, touched down at 136 kt, and recorded a firm touchdown rate of minus 321 fpm. Lateral alignment at touchdown was 5.1 m off the centreline. Local weather at the time was 14 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 230°, a 2 kt cross-wind and a 6 kt head-wind. The total landing roll measured 1,066 m, also 29 % of the runway, and the subsequent rollout remained slightly misaligned by 9.8 m from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied back to the parking area in six minutes, covering less than one nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered 23 nm, lasted 14 minutes, and consumed 35,118 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777F recorded a final-approach score of 92.7 % while descending to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport from the east, maintaining a heading of 254.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,242 ft agl. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the sink rate was too high. Ambient conditions were temperature 14 °C, wind 6 kt at 230 °, with a 2 kt crosswind component and a 6 kt headwind.
At threshold the aircraft exhibited good threshold height and a threshold speed that was good at 144 kt. The flare was executed in line with the expected parameters.
Touchdown occurred 55 m beyond the touchdown zone with a good touchdown speed of 136 kt, and the aircraft settled with a firm touchdown rate of minus 321 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 5.1 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 1,066 m, representing 29 % of the 3,671 m runway.
During rollout the aircraft remained slightly misaligned, drifting 9.8 m from the centreline before exiting the runway.
To improve future performance, focus on reducing the sink rate to achieve a stable approach at the 1,000 ft gate, and refine directional control to keep alignment within a tighter tolerance during touchdown and rollout.
