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 6,193 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,193 ft of the 10,977 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,113 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 777-300, then departed from runway 14R at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (LEMD). The takeoff distance was 7,583 feet, which was 75% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 198 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 56°F and winds of 10 knots at 106°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile north of San Fernando de Henares, Spain, and ascended from an initial altitude of 2,979 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 34,392 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,412 feet in 18 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 124 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north of Requena, Spain. This phase lasted for 306 minutes and covered a distance of 2,601 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 14 miles southwest of Jubail Airport (OEJB) in Saudi Arabia. The descent phase took 20 minutes to complete, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 34,858 feet above sea level to 1,597 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,261 feet. This phase covered a distance of 80 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12L at Bahrain International Airport (OBBI) was made from the northwest, with a heading of 123.0° at an altitude of 1,586 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 10,977 feet, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 141 knots. The touchdown point was 765 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -114 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 24 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 35 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 66°F and winds of 4 knots at 300°. The crosswind component was 0 knots, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 5,945 feet, which was 54% of the runway length.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 9 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,815 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 371 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 114,628 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at OBBI Bahrain International Airport, achieving a score of 94.2%. The final approach to runway 12L was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 123.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,586 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed smoothly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 141 knots. The touchdown point was 765 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the recommended area. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -114 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 66°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from 300°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 4 knots. The runway length of 10,977 feet was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance, which was 5,945 feet, representing 54% of the runway.
Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 24 feet from the centreline, the aircraft's rollout alignment was also slightly off-centre, by 35 feet. However, these deviations were minor and did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. Overall, the landing was executed safely and efficiently, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
