Hold the approach angle
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 2,447 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 661 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.

The enroute climb began 1 mile northeast of YBLN and reached a maximum altitude of 40,086 ft, covering a distance of 224 nm in 37 minutes. The enroute level cruise lasted 118 minutes covering 1,368 nm at a specific latitude and longitude.
The descent started 54 miles southeast of YPCC Cocos (Keeling) Islands Airport with a descent from 39,982 ft to 1,816 ft in 8 minutes, covering 50 nm. The landing was on runway 33 at YPCC with a runway length of 2,447 m. The airplane touched down 661 m from the threshold with a touchdown speed of 132 kn and a VSI of -155 ft/m. The total landing distance was 1,270 m (52% of the runway). The local weather at the time of landing was 27°C with a wind of 7 kn at 140°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 kn and a tailwind of 7 kn.
After landing, the taxiing from the runway to the parking area was brief, taking less than 1 minute and covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 1,648 nm and the flight duration was 171 minutes. The aircraft used 10,041 kg of fuel during the flight.
