Be on speed by the gate
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 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,565 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,565 ft of the 10,425 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,259 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300ER taxied from the parking area to runway 33L at OKKK Kuwait International. The taxi-out required 14 minutes and covered 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 33L, the aircraft used 8,967 ft of runway, representing 81 % of the available length, and lifted off at 177 kt. Local weather at the time was 114 °F with a wind of 10 kt from 072°, a crosswind component of 9 kt and a tailwind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced 1 mile south-west of Al Farwaniyah (Muhafazat al Farwaniyah, Kuwait). The airplane ascended from 1,123 ft asl to 34,895 ft asl, a gain of 33,772 ft, in 19 minutes while covering 133 nm.
Level cruise began 4 miles east of OIBQ Khark Airport, Khark (Bushehr Province, Iran). The cruise segment lasted 244 minutes and encompassed 2,102 nm.
Descent was initiated 5 miles south of Natore (Rajshahi Division, Bangladesh). The aircraft descended from 34,808 ft asl to 1,735 ft asl, a loss of 33,073 ft, in 14 minutes, traversing 84 nm.
Final approach to runway 14 at VGHS Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport involved a descent from 1,794 ft agl to 44 ft agl in 98 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 14 at VGHS was performed on a runway 10,425 ft long. The threshold speed was slightly below target at 134 kt. Touchdown occurred at 1,267 ft down the runway with a speed of 127 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 226 fpm; runway-touchdown alignment was perfect. Ambient conditions were 82 °F with calm wind (0 kt at 359°), zero crosswind and zero headwind.
The total landing distance recorded was 5,304 ft, representing 51 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was assessed as very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In summary, the flight covered 2,331 nm, required 301 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 82,303 lbs of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300ER approached runway 14 at VGHS Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport with an unstable final-approach assessment at the 1,000 ft gate, being more than 5 kt below VREF. The aircraft descended from 1,794 ft agl to 44 ft agl in 98 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 134 kt.
Touchdown occurred 1,267 ft down the runway at a speed of 127 kt, which was rated good, with a touchdown rate of minus 226 fpm judged fair and runway-touchdown alignment perfect. The total landing distance was 5,304 ft, representing 51 % of the 10,425 ft runway.
Rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft continued along the centreline to the end of the runway.
Maintain final-approach speed at or above VREF to avoid the observed underspeed condition, and manage the descent profile to achieve a gentler vertical rate for a smoother touchdown. These adjustments will help convert the already high score into an even more consistent performance.
