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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,779 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 951 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. The journey began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile (nm). The aircraft then departed from runway 35L at Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (SCEL) in Santiago, Chile.
During takeoff, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 183 knots (kt) and covered a distance of 8,547 feet, which was 68% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 4 kt at 163°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 kt and a tailwind of 4 kt.
After takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 2 miles north of SCEL and continued for 19 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nm. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 2,588 feet above sea level (asl) to 29,835 ft asl, an increase of 27,247 ft. This was followed by a brief level cruise period of 3 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 120 nm.
The flight then entered another climb phase, which started 3 miles southwest of Tome, Chile, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nm. The aircraft climbed from 30,663 ft asl to 31,777 ft asl, an increase of 1,115 ft. This was followed by a level cruise period of 24 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,273 nm.
The flight continued with multiple climb and level cruise phases, each with varying altitudes and distances covered. Notably, the aircraft climbed from 30,336 ft asl to 32,013 ft asl in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 91 nm, and from 33,051 ft asl to 35,087 ft asl in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 64 nm.
The final level cruise period started at a latitude of -53.9545595 and longitude of -133.9384614 and lasted for 22 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,290 nm. The flight then entered a climb phase, which started at a latitude of -47.8123539 and longitude of -167.2413338 and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nm.
The aircraft then began its descent, which started 5 miles north of Taupo, New Zealand, and lasted for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 112 nm. The aircraft descended from 38,227 ft asl to 565 ft asl, a decrease of 37,662 ft.
The final approach to runway 23L at Auckland International Airport (NZAA) was made from the east, heading 248.0° at 1 nm and 539 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on the runway, which was 10,779 ft long, with a threshold speed of 123 kt, slightly below the target speed. The touchdown distance was good at 942 ft, and the touchdown speed was 119 kt, which was also good.
The total landing distance was 3,900 ft, which was 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nm.
The total flight distance was 5,188 nm, and the flight duration was 152 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 204,678 pounds of fuel during the journey.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed on runway 23L at Auckland International Airport (NZAA) with a score of 99.3%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 248.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 539 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 123 knots, but still within an acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 942 feet was also considered good, indicating that the pilots managed to slow down the aircraft effectively. The touchdown speed of 119 knots was also within the acceptable range, further emphasizing the pilots' skill in controlling the aircraft's descent.
However, the touchdown rate of -266 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilots could have managed a smoother touchdown. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 46°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 80°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind component was minimal at 2 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
The total landing distance of 3,900 feet was 36% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a stop safely.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilots demonstrating excellent skill and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. The 99.3% score is a testament to their expertise and attention to detail, and the aircraft's performance was consistent with its design and capabilities.
