Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 184 m past the target, landing at 641 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
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 1,924 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,924 m of the 3,671 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 641 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from San Francisco International Airport (KSFO) on runway 28L, taking off with a distance of 1,811 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 191 knots, with a local temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind of 5 knots at 269 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal, with a headwind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it passed over San Bruno, California, and continued to ascend to 31,993 feet above sea level. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 154 minutes and covered a distance of 1,302 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 32,448 feet to 33,994 feet, before entering another level cruise phase. This pattern of climb and cruise continued until the aircraft began its descent towards Auckland International Airport (NZAA). The descent phase started 61 miles northeast of Okiwi Station Airport (Okiwi), and the aircraft descended from 35,989 feet to 1,318 feet above sea level in 24 minutes.
The final approach to runway 23L at NZAA was made from the east, with a heading of 251.0 degrees. The aircraft touched down 229 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 139 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was good, at -151 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,847 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking just 1 minute to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,764 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 731 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 99,538 kilograms.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport with a score of 97.0%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 251.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,290 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 57 feet above ground level, slightly above the target. The threshold speed was good at 146 knots, indicating a well-controlled descent.
As the aircraft touched down 229 meters beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed of 139 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -151 feet per minute was good, indicating a controlled deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and a gentle headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 1,847 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with only minor deviations from the ideal performance.
