Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 1,900 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,900 m of the 3,202 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 575 m past the threshold — beyond 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 787-9 Dreamliner, then departed from runway 09R at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL). The takeoff distance was 1,990 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 178 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 14°C temperature and winds of 11 knots at 110°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 10 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile north-west of Feltham, Greater London, England, and reached an altitude of 35,875 feet above sea level (asl) in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 152 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Litherland, Sefton, England, and lasted for 63 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 2,172 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 33,509 ft asl to 35,513 ft asl, an increase of 2,004 feet in 2 minutes, covering 57 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering another level cruise phase, which started 84 miles west of Tasiujaq Airport, Quebec, Canada, and lasted for 43 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 1,452 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 37,554 ft asl to 39,087 ft asl, an increase of 1,534 feet in 2 minutes, covering 47 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, which started 1 mile south-west of Alton, Utah, United States. The aircraft descended from 39,941 ft asl to 3,353 ft asl, a decrease of 36,588 feet in 18 minutes, covering 142 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26L at Harry Reid International Airport (KLAS) was made from the east, heading 270.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,223 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on the runway, which was 3,202 meters long. The threshold height was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 155 knots.
The touchdown point was 176 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 148 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -310 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 27°C temperature and winds of 9 knots at 90°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,837 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 4,528 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 171 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 53,571 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner successfully landed at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport on runway 26L, achieving a score of 96.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,223 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down 176 meters beyond the touchdown zone. Although the touchdown speed of 148 knots was slightly above the target, the touchdown rate of -310 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill in aligning the aircraft with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a gentle tailwind of 9 knots from a direction of 90°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,837 meters was 57% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to safely come to a halt. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, resulting in a score of 96.2%. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled nature of the landing, despite the slightly above-target touchdown speed.
