Get the gear down before the gate
Next time
Lower the gear before the stabilisation gate, not after it.
What happened: On the approach, the gear was not down at the stabilisation gate.
Watch for: Gear position indicator against the stabilisation gate call.
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: gear still up and sink rate 1,299 fpm, more than the glideslope needed.
At the 500 ft gate: gear still up and glideslope 1.7° against the runway's 3°.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,667 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 238 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 10L at KFLL Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, covering 2 nm in 13 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 10L, the aircraft used 544 m of runway (21 % of the available length) and lifted off at 121 kt. Local conditions were a temperature of 32 °C, wind 6 kt from 219 °, a 5 kt crosswind component and a 4 kt tailwind.
Climb commenced overhead KFLL, with the airplane ascending from 1,078 ft asl to 44,399 ft asl - a gain of 43,321 ft - in 17 minutes while covering 98 nm.
The first cruise segment began 32 miles southeast of 07FA Ocean Reef Club Airport and continued for 34 minutes, during which 734 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent phase one started at latitude 12.9896854, longitude -79.4065088, with the aircraft descending from 44,473 ft asl to 21,865 ft asl, a loss of 22,608 ft, in 11 minutes over 111 nm.
A brief cruise followed from latitude 11.1049273, longitude -79.4786858, lasting 5 minutes and covering 88 nm.
Descent phase two began 2 miles southeast of Isla Grande (Provincia de Colon, Panama), dropping from 21,491 ft asl to 3,690 ft asl - a decrease of 17,801 ft - in 10 minutes across 54 nm.
The next cruise segment started 5 miles north of Punta Chame (Provincia de Panama) and lasted 3 minutes, during which 10 nm were covered.
Descent phase three commenced overhead Taboga (Provincia de Panama), with the aircraft descending from 3,354 ft asl to 1,425 ft asl, a loss of 1,929 ft, in 3 minutes while traveling 6 nm.
On final approach to runway 01 at MPMG Marcos A. Gelabert International Airport, the aircraft approached from the south on a heading of 9.0 °, at 4 nm and 1,381 ft agl.
Landing on runway 01 was performed on a 1,667 m runway; the threshold speed was slightly below target at 102 kt. Touchdown occurred 238 m down the runway at 96 kt with a vertical speed of minus 166 fpm, and the touchdown point was 3.7 m off centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 32 °C, wind 5 kt from 31 °, a 2 kt crosswind and a 4 kt headwind. Total landing distance was 917 m (55 % of runway), and runway rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,108 nm, required 94 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 1,331 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 01 at MPMG Marcos A. Gelabert International Airport was flown from the south on a heading of 9.0° at 4 nm and 1,381 ft agl; the approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the gear was not down.
The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 102 kt.
Touchdown occurred 238 m down the runway at a speed of 96 kt, with a descent rate of minus 166 fpm, both judged good; the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.7 m from the centreline.
Runway rollout alignment was very good, with a total landing distance of 917 m, representing 55 % of the 1,667 m runway.
Ensure the landing gear is deployed before reaching the 1,000 ft gate and refine lateral control to keep touchdown within a tighter centreline tolerance; these minor adjustments will help maintain the high overall score.
