See Arrival Approach
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: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 7.4° off, against a 1° limit and speed 19 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 143 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 2,624 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 278 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, runway 18L, the Boeing 777-300 began its journey with a taxiing period of 8 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. At 10°C and with a gentle headwind of 1 kt, the aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 727 meters, utilizing 26% of the runway. Liftoff speed was achieved at 166 kt, marking the start of the climb phase.
The enroute climb phase began approximately 1 mile northeast of Aalsmeerderbrug, with the aircraft ascending from 981 feet to 24,995 feet in 9 minutes, covering 50 nautical miles. This was followed by a level cruise phase, initiated 1 mile northwest of Essen, lasting 9 minutes and covering 60 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another climb phase, this time from 25,023 feet to 34,989 feet in 7 minutes, covering 54 nautical miles. The level cruise phase resumed overhead Jussy, lasting 14 minutes and covering 110 nautical miles. A final climb phase took place overhead Verneuil-sur-Avre, with the aircraft ascending from 35,000 feet to 36,588 feet in 2 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles. The level cruise phase continued for an extended period, lasting 136 minutes and covering 1,132 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its descent.
The enroute descent phase started 83 miles northeast of LPPS Porto Santo Airport Vila Baleira, with the aircraft descending from 36,999 feet to 2,032 feet in 21 minutes, covering 127 nautical miles. A level cruise phase resumed overhead Agua de Pena, lasting 30 minutes and covering 123 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 05 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft touching down at 136 kt and a touchdown distance of 285 meters. The total landing distance was 1,252 meters, utilizing 50% of the runway. Following a smooth taxiing period of 2 minutes, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 1,673 nautical miles, using 27,309 kg of fuel and taking 238 minutes to complete the journey.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 05 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 265 ft agl at 1 nm from the runway threshold, aligning with the runway heading of 44.0°. The threshold height was well-managed, allowing for a smooth transition to the touchdown phase.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 136 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown distance of 285 m was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate of -282 fpm was slightly higher than ideal, indicating a slightly steeper descent than desired. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 m from the centreline, which may be attributed to a minor deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle headwind of 4 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment, with the aircraft staying very close to the centreline. The total landing distance of 1,252 m, which accounted for 50% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 777-300 was satisfactory, with a score of 98.2% reflecting the minor deviations in the approach and touchdown phases.
