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 1,632 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,632 m of the 3,287 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 701 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
KLAX Los Angeles International Airport served as the departure point for a Boeing 777-300, which began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 25R, utilizing a takeoff distance of 1,873 meters, which represented 51% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 198 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 20°C and a gentle tailwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it traversed a series of enroute climbs and level cruises, with notable increases in altitude and distance covered. The first enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northwest of El Segundo, California, and reached an altitude of 28,991 feet above sea level. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 13 minutes and covered 114 nautical miles. Subsequent climbs and level cruises took the aircraft over various geographical locations, including Barstow Daggett Airport, North Las Vegas, and Kangerlussuaq, Greenland. The longest level cruise phase lasted 211 minutes and covered 1,769 nautical miles.
The aircraft's final approach to runway 09 at LBSF Sofia Airport was executed from the west, with a heading of 95.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,332 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point located 567 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 140 knots, and the touchdown rate was an impressive -91 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 1,833 meters, representing 51% of the runway's length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 6,022 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 105,368 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted 751 minutes.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 09 at LBSF Sofia Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, despite a threshold height of 78 ft agl, which was above the target. The aircraft maintained a threshold speed of 146 kt, indicating a well-executed approach. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down at a speed of 140 kt, which was within the acceptable range.
The touchdown characteristics were impressive, with a touchdown rate of -91 fpm, demonstrating excellent control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14 °C and a negligible wind, contributed to a smooth and stable approach. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 kt and 0 kt, respectively.
The total landing distance of 1,833 m, which accounted for 51% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 777-300 scored 85.6%, reflecting a well-executed approach and touchdown, but with some room for improvement in terms of threshold height.
