Keep the wings level on final
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 1,829 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,829 m of the 3,508 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 474 m 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 03R at MPTO Tocumen International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,105 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 174 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 240 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Tocumen, a location in the Provincia de Panama, Panama. The climb took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 111 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,040 feet above sea level to 36,730 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,690 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 34 miles southwest of Jaque, a location in the Provincia del Darien, Panama. This phase of the flight lasted for 208 minutes and covered a distance of 1,670 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 3 miles southeast of SLCH Chimore Airport, a location in the Departamento de Cochabamba, Bolivia. The descent took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 122 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 37,150 feet above sea level to 2,447 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,703 feet.
The final approach to runway 34 at SLVR Viru Viru International Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 327.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,210 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 34, which had a length of 3,508 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 340 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots.
The touchdown point was 54 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -138 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,744 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,913 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 259 minutes. The aircraft used 30,269 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at SLVR Viru Viru International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The final approach to runway 34 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 327.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,210 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed of 140 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly faster than ideal, indicating that the pilots may have been able to make a smoother landing by reducing their descent rate. The touchdown point was 54 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The landing distance of 1,744 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots.
The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, which made the landing even more manageable. The pilots were able to maintain a smooth touchdown rate of -138 feet per minute, which is a good indication of a controlled and stable landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down safely and within a reasonable distance. The pilots demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft, and the weather conditions were favorable.
