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 5,798 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,798 ft of the 11,984 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,789 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 06 at KRSW Southwest Florida International Airport. The Boeing 777-300 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 2,867 feet, which is 24% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 177 knots, and the aircraft climbed away from the airport.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 85°F and a wind speed of 9 knots at 49 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind was 9 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, and the aircraft climbed from 1,063 feet above sea level to 9,588 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,525 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft began its descent 3 miles southeast of Lehigh Acres, Florida. The descent started from 9,541 feet above sea level and ended at 1,423 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,118 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at KRSW Southwest Florida International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 54.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,385 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with a threshold speed of 152 knots and a touchdown speed of 143 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -220 feet per minute.
The touchdown point was 428 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 21 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions during landing were similar to those during takeoff, with a temperature of 84°F and a wind speed of 9 knots at 50 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind was 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 5,537 feet, which is 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 6 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 31 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 21 minutes. The aircraft used 7,395 pounds of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was smooth and controlled, with good weather conditions and minimal turbulence.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at KRSW Southwest Florida International Airport, achieving a score of 96.9%. The final approach to runway 06 was initiated from the southwest, heading 54.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,385 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed of 152 kt, which was considered good. The touchdown point was located 428 feet beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. The touchdown speed of 143 kt was also deemed good, but the touchdown rate of -220 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. This suggests that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher rate of descent than desired.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 21 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. However, the local weather conditions were relatively favorable, with a temperature of 84°F and a headwind of 9 kt at 50°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 kt.
The total landing distance of 5,537 feet was 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to maintain a good rate of descent and touchdown speed. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 96.9%. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate and runway alignment, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
