Track the centreline
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: centreline 3.9° off, against a 1° limit and speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 137 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,284 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 632 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777F departed Auckland International Airport (NZAA) on runway 05R, accelerating through a take-off distance of 875 m which represented 27 % of the runway. Liftoff was achieved at 153 kt while the ambient temperature was 35 °C, the wind was 3 kt from 1°, with a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
During the climb the aircraft rose from 980 ft asl to 1,576 ft asl, gaining 596 ft in 1 minute while covering 3 nm, with the climb commencing overhead NZAA.
Cruise began 2 mi south-west of Wiri and was maintained for 3 minutes, during which the flight covered 9 nm at level altitude.
The descent started 6 mi south-west of NZAA, descending from 1,636 ft asl to 747 ft asl, a loss of 889 ft in 2 minutes while traversing 4 nm.
On final approach to runway 05R the aircraft descended from 1,362 ft agl to 60 ft agl in 105 seconds and achieved the required scores on the stabilisation gates.
Landing was executed on runway 05R, whose length is 3,284 m. The threshold speed was 133 kt, and touchdown occurred 213 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 121 kt. The touchdown rate was minus 252 fpm, and runway alignment at touchdown was very good. Local weather at landing was 32 °C, wind 5 kt from 0°, with a 5 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind. The total landing roll measured 1,035 m, representing 32 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment remained very good, completing the landing phase without deviation.
In total the flight covered 21 nm in approximately 8 minutes and consumed 25,687 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777F approached runway 05R at Auckland International Airport and was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate, being off the centreline and more than 5 kt below VREF. The final approach descended from 1,362 ft agl to 60 ft agl in 105 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 133 kt.
Touchdown occurred 213 m beyond the touchdown zone with a good touchdown speed of 121 kt, a fair touchdown rate of minus 252 fpm, and very good runway touchdown alignment.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,035 m, representing 32 % of the 3,284 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
Refine the final-approach technique to maintain centreline tracking and speed within VREF to achieve a stabilised approach, and adjust flare timing to reduce the descent rate for a smoother touchdown.
