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 3,297 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 327 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 16 at Cork Airport (EICK) in Ireland. The takeoff distance was 882 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 12°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 129 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Ballygarvan in Munster, Ireland, where the aircraft began its ascent from 1,329 feet above sea level to 37,108 feet above sea level. This climb of 35,780 feet took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 112 nautical miles.
After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles southwest of Saint Davids in Pembrokeshire, Wales. This phase lasted for 109 minutes and covered a distance of 781 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 4 miles southeast of Kleinarl in Salzburg, Austria, where the aircraft started its descent from 37,164 feet above sea level to 2,497 feet above sea level. This descent of 34,667 feet took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 79 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30 at Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (LJLJ) in Slovenia was made from the southeast, with a heading of 307.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,254 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 30 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 326 meters, which was 43% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 132 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -321 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -2°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 360 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,426 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 978 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 152 minutes. The aircraft used 17,965 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at LJLJ Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport, achieving a high score of 96.7%. The final approach to runway 30 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 307.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 137 knots. The touchdown distance of 326 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 132 knots was also good. The touchdown rate was firm at -321 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 5.2 meters off-centerline. This may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of -2°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 360°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance of 1,426 meters was 43% 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 was able to maintain a stable and controlled path after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely on the runway. However, the slight deviation in the touchdown position and the need for a relatively short landing distance may indicate areas for improvement in the pilot's technique or the aircraft's performance.
