See Arrival Final 3
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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,552 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,552 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 373 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 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 10 at Indira Gandhi International Airport (VIDP) in New Delhi, India. The takeoff distance was 2,030 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 12°C and winds of 4 knots at 249°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 3 knots. After departing from VIDP, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southeast of the airport and rising from an altitude of 1,864 feet above sea level to 33,534 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,670 feet in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 108 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 4 miles south of Sidhpura, India, and lasted for 181 minutes, covering a distance of 1,510 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 71 miles northwest of Ban Khao Lak, Thailand, and descending from 34,341 feet above sea level to 7,443 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,898 feet in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 66 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 19 miles southwest of Ban Khao Lak and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute descent resumed, starting 22 miles southwest of Ban Khao Lak, and the aircraft descended from 7,277 feet above sea level to 1,301 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,976 feet in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at Phuket International Airport (VTSP) was made from the west, heading 85.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,237 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with a threshold speed of 138 knots and a touchdown speed of 132 knots. The touchdown distance was 375 meters, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -133 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at VTSP were characterized by a temperature of 31°C and winds of 2 knots at 106°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,473 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,721 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 239 minutes. The aircraft used 31,012 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at VTSP Phuket International Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 09 was executed from the west, with the aircraft heading 85.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,237 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for touchdown. The threshold speed of 138 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilots' ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown distance of 375 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilots had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 132 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -133 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the pilots had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots had maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 106°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,473 meters was 49% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown, and that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots had maintained control over the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 777F at VTSP Phuket International Airport was a textbook example of safe and controlled flight operations. The pilots' skills and adherence to standard operating procedures ensured a smooth and successful landing, with minimal impact on the runway and surrounding environment.
