Hold the approach speed
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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,802 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,505 ft touchdown sits inside 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 28 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 27 at Miami International Airport (KMIA). The takeoff distance was 7,924 feet, which was 68% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 189 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 92 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 5 knots at 189 degrees. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of Fountainebleau, Florida, and ascended from an initial altitude of 1,076 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 35,978 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,902 feet in 16 minutes. The enroute climb covered a distance of 110 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles south of the Mayo Clinic Heliport in Jacksonville, Florida. This phase lasted for 70 minutes and covered a distance of 554 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 9 miles east of Bowman, Tennessee, and descended from a cruising altitude of 35,257 feet above sea level to an altitude of 7,005 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,252 feet in 23 minutes. The enroute descent covered a distance of 103 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles southeast of Bardstown, Kentucky, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 3 miles southwest of Samuels Field in Bardstown, Kentucky, and descended from an altitude of 6,945 feet above sea level to an altitude of 4,213 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,732 feet in 4 minutes. The final descent covered a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a final level cruise phase, which started 2 miles northeast of Shady Acres Airport in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 35R at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (KSDF), approaching from the south at a heading of 345.0 degrees and an altitude of 1,823 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 35R was successful, with a touchdown point 154 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 141 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -234 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 8 knots at 300 degrees. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 4,242 feet, which was 54% of the runway length. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 9 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 805 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 141 minutes. The aircraft used 37,244 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at KSDF Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, achieving a score of 99.3%. The final approach to runway 35R was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 345.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,823 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down 154 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The threshold speed was maintained at 146 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown speed of 141 knots was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, the touchdown rate of -234 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30°F and winds of 8 knots from 300°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was also 5 knots. These conditions were relatively calm, which likely contributed to the successful landing.
The total landing distance of 4,242 feet was 54% of the available runway length of 7,802 feet. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly and maintain control after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
