See Arrival Final 3
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,250 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 116 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. The journey began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile (nm). The aircraft then departed from runway 20 at Tribhuvan International Airport (VNKT) in Kathmandu, Nepal.
As the aircraft took off, it covered a distance of 1,321 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots (kt), and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 22°C, with a wind speed of 2 kt at 180°.
The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile east of Patan, Nepal, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 5,353 feet above sea level (asl) to 35,797 ft asl, an increase of 30,444 ft in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 150 nm.
The enroute level cruise started 9 miles west of Rolpa Airport (VNRP) in Rolpa, Nepal, and lasted for 185 minutes, covering a distance of 1,301 nm. The aircraft then underwent several enroute climbs and level cruises, including a climb from 36,185 ft asl to 38,032 ft asl in 2 minutes, covering 11 nm, and a level cruise from 22 miles north of Arcabil Airport (UTAJ) in Turkmenistan, lasting 184 minutes and covering 1,119 nm.
The enroute descent started 24 miles east of Rizokarpaso, Cyprus, where the aircraft descended from 40,020 ft asl to 275 ft asl, a decrease of 39,745 ft in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nm. The aircraft then underwent several enroute climbs and level cruises, including a climb from overhead Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (OLBA) in Lebanon, climbing from 285 ft asl to 5,277 ft asl in 3 minutes, covering 9 nm.
The final approach to runway 03 at OLBA Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport was made from the south-west, heading 32.0° at 4 nm and 1,471 ft above ground level (agl). The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 117 meters, a touchdown speed of 129 kt, and a touchdown rate of -231 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,084 meters, which was 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
The total flight distance was 2,796 nm, and the flight duration was 448 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 46,456 kg of fuel during the journey.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at OLBA Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The final approach to runway 03 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 32.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,471 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 131 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly above the ideal speed, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate. The touchdown rate of -231 feet per minute was considered fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.3 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 0°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind component, making the landing conditions ideal.
The total landing distance of 1,084 meters was 48% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a controlled and safe manner.
