Monitor your 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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,446 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 473 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300ER taxied from the parking area to runway 23L at Auckland International Airport (NZAA) in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23L, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,927 m, representing 52 % of the runway, and lifted off at 209 kt. Local conditions were 19 °C with a 23 kt wind from 250°, providing a 23 kt headwind and no cross-wind component.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile south-west of NZAA, with the airplane ascending from 1,084 ft asl to 32,341 ft asl - a gain of 31,258 ft - in 18 minutes while covering 108 nm.
Level cruise began 106 miles south-west of Parakai Airport (NZPR) and continued for 363 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 2,665 nm.
Descent was initiated 11 miles south-east of Corrigin, Western Australia, with a reduction from 34,049 ft asl to 1,305 ft asl - a loss of 32,744 ft - in 23 minutes, traversing 117 nm.
The final approach to runway 21 at Perth International Airport (YPPH) was flown from the north on a heading of 194.0°, at 4 nm and 1,235 ft agl. Weather at the time was 21 °C with a 14 kt wind from 270°, giving a 3 kt headwind and a 14 kt cross-wind.
Landing on runway 21, which is 3,446 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 71 ft agl above target and a threshold speed of 145 kt, slightly below the expected value. Touchdown was recorded 60 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 137 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 398 fpm and excellent runway-centerline alignment. The total landing roll measured 1,317 m, representing 38 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment remained very good throughout the deceleration phase.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 2,900 nm, required 419 minutes, and consumed 62,889 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 21 at YPPH Perth International Airport was flown from the north on a heading of 194.0° at 4 nm and 1,235 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, and the aircraft remained on the correct flight path in the reported 14 kt wind from 270° (3 kt headwind, 14 kt cross-wind) and 21 °C temperature.
At threshold the aircraft was 71 ft agl, a height described as well above the target, and the threshold speed was recorded at 145 kt, noted as slightly below the target. The flare was initiated from this altitude and speed, transitioning the aircraft onto the runway.
Touchdown occurred 60 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 137 kt, which the report qualified as good. The vertical speed at touchdown was firm at minus 398 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was described as very good.
Rollout used 1,317 m of runway, representing 38 % of the available 3,446 m, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
To tighten the landing point, aim to reduce the overshoot by adjusting the flare height to achieve a touchdown within the intended zone, and verify that the threshold speed is brought up to the target value to support a more precise touchdown location.
