Keep the wings level on final
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 2,295 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 274 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Boeing 777-300 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, taking approximately 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 18L, with a takeoff distance of 1,666 meters, which was 59% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 182 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 3°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 129 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Aalsmeer, a town in the province of North Holland, Netherlands. The climb took 15 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,038 feet above sea level to 33,640 feet, an increase of 32,603 feet.
The enroute level cruise started 36 miles southeast of Aldeburgh, a town in Suffolk, England. This phase of the flight lasted 224 minutes, covering a distance of 1,637 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 33,881 feet to 35,835 feet, an increase of 1,954 feet, in just 2 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed, starting at a new location, and lasted 227 minutes, covering 1,512 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, from 35,933 feet to 37,357 feet, an increase of 1,425 feet, in 2 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles. The final enroute level cruise started 53 minutes later, covering 385 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 86 miles northeast of The Valley, a town in Anguilla. The descent took 20 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 37,371 feet to 2,020 feet, a decrease of 35,351 feet. The enroute level cruise started 2 miles south of TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport, Saint Martin, and lasted 19 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport was made from the west, heading 82.0 degrees, at 4 nautical miles and 1,292 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 274 meters, a touchdown speed of 129 knots, and a touchdown rate of -512 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 26°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 60 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,238 meters, which was 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,766 nautical miles, taking 574 minutes, and the aircraft used 72,581 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport, achieving a high score of 92.7%. The final approach to runway 10 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 82.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and speed of 134 knots. The touchdown distance of 274 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 129 knots was well-controlled. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, at -512 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.4 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 60°, resulting in a minimal crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind component of 3 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,238 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were effectively applied to bring the aircraft to a stop in a controlled manner.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and handling characteristics. However, the hard touchdown rate and slight misalignment from the centerline may indicate areas for improvement in the pilot's approach and landing technique.
