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 3,746 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 285 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 14R at HEBA Borj El Arab International Airport in Alexandria, Egypt. The takeoff distance was 1,394 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 175 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 322 degrees. This resulted in a tailwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to an altitude of 35,179 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 221 nautical miles and took 30 minutes to complete, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 34,049 feet.
Following the climb phase, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 38 miles south east of Z10W Bir Hasanah in North Sinai, Egypt. This cruise phase lasted for 149 minutes and covered a distance of 1,105 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 16 miles north west of OMSN Sir Abu Nu'ayr Airport in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The descent took the aircraft down from an altitude of 35,055 feet to 2,002 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,054 feet, in just 20 minutes and covered a distance of 132 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles south east of Madha' al Jadidah in Musandam, Oman. This cruise phase lasted for just 4 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 29 at OMFJ Fujairah International Airport, which was located to the east. The aircraft was heading 292.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,622 feet above ground level and was 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 29 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 128 knots and a touchdown rate of -360 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 284 meters, which was 27% of the runway length. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.4 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 189 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,001 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,473 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 175 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 25,971 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at OMFJ Fujairah International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.4%. The final approach to runway 29 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 292.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,622 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 133 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 284 meters, and the touchdown speed was maintained at 128 knots, which is a good indicator of controlled descent. The touchdown rate was firm at -360 feet per minute, suggesting a smooth and controlled landing.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 4.4 meters off-centerline. This may be attributed to factors such as wind or pilot error, but it did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 189°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and there was no headwind. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance was 1,001 meters, which is 27% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a short distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 777F aircraft at OMFJ Fujairah International Airport was excellent, with a high score and a smooth, controlled touchdown.
