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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,394 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 413 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 07R at HAAB Addis Ababa Bole International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,386 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 190 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 50 knots at a direction of 70 degrees.
The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 50 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile east of the airport. The climb was from an altitude of 8,485 feet above sea level to 37,332 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,847 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 129 nautical miles.
After the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles south east of Gewane in the Afar Region of Ethiopia. This phase lasted for 208 minutes, covering a distance of 1,618 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 41 miles south of Ormara in Balochistan, Pakistan. The descent was from an altitude of 37,155 feet above sea level to 1,048 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,107 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 132 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07R at OPKC Jinnah International Airport was from the west, with a heading of 78.0 degrees at an altitude of 958 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 3,394 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 146 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 413 meters, and the touchdown speed was 142 knots, which was also good.
The touchdown rate was fair at -232 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 20 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,436 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,888 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 261 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 30,693 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at OPKC Jinnah International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 07R was executed from the west, with the aircraft heading 78.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 958 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was marked by a high score of 99.6%, indicating a nearly flawless execution of the landing procedure.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 146 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 413 meters was also within the expected range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown speed of 142 knots was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
However, the touchdown rate of -232 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than desired. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 20°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was even weaker at 1 knot. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,436 meters was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently, with a perfect runway rollout alignment. Overall, the landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's capabilities and performance.
