Arrival
Add power earlier on final to hold VREF of 134 kt by the gates rather than let speed decay.
What happened: The approach was flown too slow through the stabilisation gates, crossing the threshold at 127 kt against a VREF of 134 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 134 kt from the first stabilisation gate onward.
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 1,000 ft gate: speed 7 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 134 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 7 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 134 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,830 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,830 m of the 3,806 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 603 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-200ER taxied from the parking area to runway 16L at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in 5 minutes, covering 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 16L, the aircraft accelerated over a distance of 1,622 m, which is 45 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 162 kt. Local weather at the time was 19 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 199°, including a 1 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt headwind.
The initial climb began 1 mile south-west of SeaTac, climbing from 1,385 ft asl to 34,985 ft asl - an increase of 33,600 ft - in 24 minutes while covering 174 nm.
Level cruise commenced 6 miles south of OL02 West Buttercreek Airport Echo and continued for 149 minutes, during which 1,254 nm were flown.
A subsequent climb started 2 miles south-east of TT21 Grant Ranch Airport Alvord, raising the aircraft from 35,004 ft asl to 36,930 ft asl, a gain of 1,926 ft in 3 minutes over 28 nm.
The following cruise segment began 2 miles south-east of Keller, lasting 144 minutes and covering 1,180 nm.
A further climb was initiated 10 miles north of Morazán, increasing altitude from 37,082 ft asl to 38,847 ft asl - a rise of 1,765 ft - in 3 minutes while traversing 27 nm.
Cruise then continued 5 miles south-west of Yorito for 90 minutes, during which 757 nm were logged.
The next climb originated at latitude 3.039861, longitude -83.3812522, climbing from 39,378 ft asl to 40,939 ft asl, an increase of 1,561 ft in 3 minutes and covering 27 nm.
A long cruise segment began at latitude 2.5825379, longitude -83.2558871, lasting 272 minutes and encompassing 2,154 nm.
Descent commenced 5 miles south of SCCG La Pelícana Airport, descending from 41,005 ft asl to 2,830 ft asl - a loss of 38,175 ft - in 25 minutes and covering 130 nm.
The final approach to runway 17R at Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport was flown from the north on a heading of 178.0°, at 4 nm and 1,273 ft agl.
Landing on runway 17R, whose length is 3,806 m, was achieved with a threshold speed of 128 kt. Touchdown occurred 180 m beyond the touchdown zone at 120 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 207 fpm and very good runway-alignment. Local conditions were 8 °C, wind 1 kt from 360°, with 0 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
The total landing distance recorded was 1,742 m, representing 46 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 5,740 nm, lasted 724 minutes, and consumed 86,591 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-200ER entered the final approach to runway 17R at SCEL from the north on a heading of 178.0° at 4 nm and 1,273 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 128 kt, both judged good. Touchdown occurred 180 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the aircraft was at a good touchdown speed of 120 kt.
Touchdown was characterised by a fair vertical rate of minus 207 fpm, while runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,742 m, representing 46 % of the 3,806 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
With a final score of 98.3 % the landing was strong; refining the flare to achieve a slightly lower descent rate and aiming to touch down nearer the designated zone will tighten the already excellent performance.
