Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the aircraft onto the runway at the aim point instead of holding it off and letting it float further down the runway.
What happened: This landing touched down well beyond the target point on the runway, with nothing else in the approach or flare accounting for it.
Watch for: Aim point markings: touchdown at the target point on the runway.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,769 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,769 m of the 3,130 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 572 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-200ER taxied from the parking area to runway 01R at KSFO, a movement that required 6 minutes and covered 3 nm.
Departure roll on runway 01R was completed with a takeoff distance of 1,320 m, representing 54 % of the runway, and liftoff was achieved at 162 kt; local weather reported a temperature of 19 °C with wind 0 kt from 120°.
Climb commenced 1 mile north-east of KSFO, ascending from 953 ft asl to 35,582 ft asl-a gain of 34,629 ft-in 21 minutes while covering 150 nm.
The aircraft entered level cruise at latitude 36.1590079, longitude -124.7730859, maintaining altitude for 163 minutes and traversing 1,289 nm.
A second climb segment began at latitude 16.4223283, longitude -134.1655767, rising from 36,001 ft asl to 37,694 ft asl, an increase of 1,693 ft in 3 minutes over a distance of 25 nm.
Subsequent level cruise started at latitude 16.035076, longitude -134.3940954, lasting 264 minutes and covering 2,145 nm.
Descent started 51 miles east of NTTE, decreasing altitude from 37,999 ft asl to 10,015 ft asl-a loss of 27,984 ft-in 12 minutes while flying 83 nm.
A brief level cruise followed 1 mile south of Papao, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
The next descent began 6 miles south-west of Papao, dropping from 9,549 ft asl to 1,292 ft asl, a reduction of 8,257 ft in 10 minutes across 27 nm.
Final approach to runway 04 at NTAA proceeded with a descent from 1,325 ft agl to 60 ft agl in 105 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 04 at NTAA was executed with a threshold speed of 136 kt; touchdown occurred 150 m beyond the touchdown zone at 130 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 103 fpm and alignment described as very good. Local weather recorded a temperature of 28 °C and wind 5 kt from 330°, including a 5 kt crosswind.
Runway rollout alignment was very good, and the total landing distance measured 1,682 m, equivalent to 54 % of the runway length.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 3,735 nm, required 485 minutes, and consumed 53,845 kg of fuel.
The approach to runway 04 at NTAA Faa’a International Airport was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,325 ft agl to 60 ft agl in 105 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gates and contributing to the overall score of 97.7 %.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 136 kt. The flare produced a touchdown speed of 130 kt and a smooth touchdown rate of minus 103 fpm, with runway touchdown alignment described as very good.
Touchdown occurred 150 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, maintaining the 130 kt speed and the smooth rate of minus 103 fpm. Alignment at touchdown remained very good, confirming the aircraft’s centreline tracking through the final seconds.
Rollout used a total landing distance of 1,682 m, representing 54 % of the 3,130 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good. Local weather was 28 °C with wind 5 kt from 330°, comprising a 5 kt cross-wind and no head-wind.
Future landings would benefit from aiming to touch down nearer the aim point, approximately 300 m from the threshold, to reduce the rollout distance while preserving the current speed and alignment performance.
