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.

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 1,807 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,807 m of the 3,811 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 479 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 to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 23L at Auckland International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,540 meters, which was 47% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 178 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 210°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was also 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles southwest of Auckland International Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,029 feet above sea level to 32,541 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,513 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 5 miles west of Kawerau, New Zealand, and lasted for 398 minutes, covering a distance of 3,230 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from a latitude of -50.4435264 and a longitude of -106.6512065, and climbed from 32,881 feet above sea level to 34,861 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,981 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 39 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started again, this time from a latitude of -50.2527037 and a longitude of -105.6346992, and lasted for 202 minutes, covering a distance of 1,772 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 4 miles east of Almahue Airport in Chile, and the aircraft descended from 34,977 feet above sea level to 2,995 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,982 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 70 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 17R at Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport was made from the north, heading 176.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,440 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 17R was successful, with a touchdown point 73 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 153 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was fair at -247 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 210°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,736 meters, which was 46% of the runway length. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,229 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 655 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 91,791 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at SCEL Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport, with a final approach score of 99.1%. The aircraft was approaching runway 17R from the north, heading 176.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,440 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed of 155 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilots' decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother touchdown.
The touchdown point was 73 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 153 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, which may have resulted in a slightly longer landing distance. The touchdown rate of -247 feet per minute was fair, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down relatively quickly after touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's slightly faster touchdown speed.
The total landing distance was 1,736 meters, which is 46% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a straight course after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was executed well, with a high score and a relatively short landing distance. However, there were some minor deviations from the target speeds and touchdown point, which may be areas for improvement in future landings.
