Settle the descent rate
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,284 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 485 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777F departed NZAA Auckland International Airport from runway 05R, accelerating through a take-off roll of 1,171 m which represented 36 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 163 kt while the ambient temperature was 35 °C, with a wind of 3 kt from 1°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
During the en-route climb the aircraft rose from 1,044 ft asl to 1,572 ft asl, gaining 528 ft in 1 minute while covering 2 nm over the Auckland area.
Level cruise commenced approximately 1 mile south-west of Wiri and persisted for 4 minutes, during which the flight covered 11 nm.
The final-approach descent reduced altitude from 1,256 ft agl to 33 ft agl in 75 seconds, and the aircraft earned a score on the stabilisation gates.
On final approach to runway 05R the crew prepared for landing under local conditions of 32 °C, a wind of 5 kt from 1°, a 4 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind component.
Touchdown occurred 87 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 122 kt; the threshold speed had been slightly below the target at 135 kt. The aircraft’s vertical speed at touchdown was minus 234 fpm and the touchdown point was offset 3.7 m from the centreline. The total landing distance measured 1,266 m, representing 39 % of the runway, and the subsequent rollout showed a lateral deviation of 14.8 m from the centreline.
Overall, the flight covered 18 nm, required approximately 6 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 34,400 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 05R at NZAA Auckland International Airport was conducted in a descent from 1,256 ft agl to 33 ft agl over 75 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
At the threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 135 kt, which was slightly below the target.
Touchdown occurred 87 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 122 kt that was good and a vertical rate of minus 234 fpm that was fair; the touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,266 m, representing 39 % of the 3,284 m runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.8 m from the centreline.
Improving centreline tracking during rollout will reduce the 14.8 m misalignment and tighten the touchdown point within the zone, helping to raise the overall score.
