Generally in anything larger that the B737 the idea is not to start a 'large'+1000 fpm'close to the ground,under 1000'agl.
It's generally understood that in this situ'one should be considering the Overshoot.The B727 taught the industry to avoid the practice.Sometimes it's more beneficial(I not going to say prudent)to keep the power on(spooled) and take a higher airspeed(within reason)keeping in mind the extra runway required.
