Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the proper flare height before you start rotating; let the runway come up to you rather than anticipating it.
What happened: The flare began early, well above the normal flare band, and touchdown followed at 760 m past the threshold, 303 m beyond the 457 m target. Starting the flare early like this usually carries the touchdown long.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the normal flare band, then touchdown distance against 457 m.
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 1,934 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,934 m of the 3,637 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 760 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 777-300 departed from Narita International Airport (RJAA) in Japan, rolling down runway 34L after a 6-minute taxi from the parking area, covering 2 nautical miles. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 195 knots, utilizing 53% of the 2,111-meter runway. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 23°C, with a gentle headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it traversed a series of enroute climbs and level cruises, with notable increases in altitude and distance covered. Notably, the aircraft climbed from 7,009 feet to 30,967 feet in 19 minutes, covering 156 nautical miles, and later from 31,006 feet to 32,990 feet in 3 minutes, covering 26 nautical miles. The aircraft spent a significant portion of its flight in level cruise, with a notable segment lasting 149 minutes, covering 1,256 nautical miles. The flight plan took the aircraft across the Pacific Ocean, passing over Alaska and Canada before entering the United States.
The Boeing 777-300 began its descent into Philadelphia International Airport (KPHL) in Pennsylvania, reducing its altitude from 37,004 feet to 1,325 feet in 22 minutes, covering 118 nautical miles. The aircraft executed a final approach to runway 09R, touching down 339 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 136 knots. The total landing distance was 1,848 meters, utilizing 51% of the 3,627-meter runway. Following a 2-minute taxi to the parking area, the aircraft completed its journey, having traveled a total distance of 6,074 nautical miles and consuming 105,842 kilograms of fuel in 762 minutes.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 09R at KPHL Philadelphia International Airport with a high degree of precision, showcasing a well-executed approach. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 1,298 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, aligning itself with the runway heading of 75.0°. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 145 knots, indicating a well-controlled descent.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down at a speed of 136 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 339 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown rate of -166 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23°C and a light wind of 2 knots at 190°, contributed to a smooth touchdown.
The Boeing 777-300 rolled out along the runway with excellent alignment, covering a total distance of 1,848 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The rollout was characterized by a very good alignment, indicating a high degree of control and precision. Overall, the landing was scored at 94.9%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
