Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 143 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 143 kt against a VREF of 143 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 143 kt at the stabilisation gate.
See Arrival Approach
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate 1,478 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and speed 16 kt FAST on the reference speed of 143 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,190 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 294 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston, Jamaica, the Boeing 777-300 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. As it reached the runway threshold, the aircraft initiated its departure roll on runway 12, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 154 knots. The takeoff distance of 922 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway, was within the expected parameters.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from 930 feet above sea level to 36,952 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 126 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with a total ascent of 36,021 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 56 minutes and covered 512 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent phase, initiated 2 miles north of Naguabo, Puerto Rico, where the aircraft descended from 36,995 feet to 1,568 feet in 21 minutes, covering 141 nautical miles. The final approach to Princess Juliana International Airport in Saint Martin was executed from the west, with a heading of 81.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,245 feet above ground level.
The Boeing 777-300 landed on runway 10 at Princess Juliana International Airport, with a touchdown distance of 397 meters, which was within the expected parameters. The touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly above the recommended threshold speed, but the touchdown rate of -327 feet per minute was firm. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 795 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 107 minutes and a fuel consumption of 12,783 kilograms.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 10 at TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport with a firm touchdown rate of -327 fpm, slightly above the ideal rate. The aircraft's speed at touchdown was 140 kt, which was a little fast, but still within acceptable limits. The threshold speed of 144 kt was well managed, indicating a good approach quality. The touchdown distance of 397 m was also within the desired range, demonstrating a well-executed landing.
The approach to runway 10 from the west, heading 81.0° at 4 nm and 1,245 ft agl, was characterized by good threshold height and a perfect runway touchdown alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 30 °C and a gentle wind of 4 kt at 130°, contributed to a smooth and stable approach. The crosswind and headwind components of 3 kt each also played a minor role in the landing, with the aircraft's heading and speed being well managed.
The total landing distance of 1,319 m, which accounted for 57% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a well-controlled deceleration and a smooth transition from the landing phase to the taxiing phase. Overall, the landing was scored 98.3%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and a well-executed landing.
