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.

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 2,252 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,252 m of the 3,788 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 723 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 787-10 taxied from the parking area to runway 34R at RKSI Incheon International Airport in eight minutes, covering four nautical miles.
During the departure roll on runway 34R, the aircraft used 1,497 m of runway, representing 38 % of the available length, and lifted off at 168 kt. Ambient conditions were 36 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 280°, including a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead RKSI, rising from 978 ft asl to 37,989 ft asl, an altitude gain of 37,011 ft achieved in 17 minutes while traversing 122 nm.
The first cruise segment began ten miles southeast of RKJK Gunsan Airport and continued for 128 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 1,048 nm.
Descent phase one started 38 nm southeast of Jiazi, China, descending from 38,005 ft asl to 8,991 ft asl, a loss of 29,014 ft in 16 minutes over a distance of 113 nm.
A brief cruise followed 21 nm southeast of VHXG Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport, lasting two minutes and covering seven nautical miles.
The second descent began 19 nm southeast of Sok Kwu Wan, Hong Kong, with the aircraft dropping from 8,994 ft asl to 3,199 ft asl, a decrease of 5,796 ft in nine minutes while traveling 40 nm.
A short cruise segment then occurred eight miles southwest of Tai O, lasting two minutes and covering six nautical miles.
Descent three started six miles west of Tai O, reducing altitude from 2,998 ft asl to 1,868 ft asl, a loss of 1,129 ft in two minutes across five nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07L at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport was executed from the southwest on a heading of 72.0°, with the aircraft positioned three nautical miles out and at 1,809 ft agl.
Landing on runway 07L, which is 3,788 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed slightly below the target of 140 kt. Touchdown occurred 307 m beyond the touchdown zone at 133 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 168 fpm and very good alignment. Local weather reported a temperature of 27 °C, wind 5 kt from 112°, a 3 kt cross-wind and a 4 kt head-wind component.
Rollout distance measured 2,170 m, representing 57 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s centreline alignment was offset by 13.7 m.
The taxi-in from the runway to the parking area required seven minutes and covered two nautical miles.
Overall, the flight covered 1,449 nm, lasted 226 minutes, and consumed 18,996 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 787-10 approached runway 07L at Hong Kong International Airport from the south-west on a heading of 72.0° at 3 NM and 1,809 ft agl. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare the aircraft maintained a threshold speed slightly below target at 140 kt and touched down 307 m beyond the touchdown zone. Touchdown speed was 133 kt, touchdown rate was minus 168 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was very good; the threshold height was reported as good.
Touchdown occurred with the aircraft aligned very well on the runway, speed and rate remaining within the good limits noted in the previous phase, confirming a controlled contact with the surface.
Rollout used a total landing distance of 2,170 m, representing 57 % of the 3,788 m runway, and the aircraft was slightly misaligned by 13.7 m from the centreline during the rollout.
Fine-tune the approach speed to meet the target value and apply minor corrections to maintain centreline alignment through rollout to eliminate the 13.7 m deviation.
