Attitude, attitude, attitude.

Hopefully you know by now the typical pitch attitudes, and power settings for your aircraft.

Use IRS/GPS/FMC, if available, for GS. If not ask radar controller for GS info.

The chance might be billions to one but didn't it happened to an MD-11 going into EZE(Buenos Aires) years ago? Flight crew was awarded annual award for their outstanding performance.

Oh, yeah, just to make it interesting I believe it was full IFR after a 9-10 hr overnight flight. I believe weather included significant rain. All in all about as difficult as you can envision.
