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.

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. These checks are the approach's score.

The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300ER taxied from the parking area to runway 33L at OKKK Kuwait International, a movement that required 13 minutes and covered 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 33L the aircraft used 6,299 ft of runway, representing 57 % of the available length, and lifted off at 171 kt. Ambient conditions were 98 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 020°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced one mile south of Al Farwaniyah, rising from 1,148 ft asl to 37,066 ft asl - a gain of 35,918 ft - over 17 minutes while covering 128 nm.
The first cruise segment began 57 nm south-west of OIBQ Khark Airport in Iran and continued for 37 minutes, during which 322 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent started 16 nm south-east of OIBS Siri Airport, descending from 37,063 ft asl to 7,508 ft asl - a loss of 29,555 ft - in 17 minutes and traversing 108 nm.
A brief cruise followed 21 nm south-west of OIBA Abu Musa Island Airport, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nm.
The next descent began 21 nm south of OIBA Abu Musa Island Airport, dropping from 7,038 ft asl to 3,012 ft asl - a decrease of 4,026 ft - in 5 minutes over 21 nm.
A short cruise segment originated 9 nm north of SB18 Dubai The World, lasting 3 minutes and encompassing 12 nm.
Descent resumed 2 nm south-east of Sharjah, falling from 3,016 ft asl to 2,090 ft asl - a loss of 926 ft - in 2 minutes while covering 5 nm.
A further cruise started 4 nm south of OMSJ Sharjah International Airport, lasting 3 minutes and covering 9 nm.
Final approach to runway 30L at OMDB Dubai International Airport involved a descent from 1,368 ft agl to 84 ft agl in 96 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 30L, which is 14,122 ft long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 143 kt. Touchdown occurred 262 ft beyond the touchdown zone at 135 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 231 fpm and a lateral deviation of 20 ft from the centreline. Local weather was 91 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 000°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt. The total landing distance was 6,283 ft, representing 44 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 621 nm, required 103 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 25,796 lb of fuel.
The approach to runway 30L at OMDB was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the aircraft was more than 5 kt below VREF. The descent proceeded from 1,368 ft agl to 84 ft agl in 96 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 143 kt, indicating the aircraft was correctly configured for flare.
Touchdown occurred 262 ft beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 135 kt that was rated good. The vertical rate at touchdown was fair at minus 231 fpm and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 20 ft from the centreline.
Rollout used a total landing distance of 6,283 ft, representing 44 % of the 14,122-ft runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
With a score of 95.6 % the landing was strong overall; focus on maintaining at least VREF + 5 kt by the 1,000 ft gate to achieve a stable approach, and ensure precise centreline tracking to eliminate the small 20-ft offset at touchdown.
