Be on speed by the gate
Next time
Reduce power on approach to bring speed back to 134 kt; correcting it early stops it carrying to the threshold and beyond.
What happened: The approach ran fast on speed, and that excess was still present at the threshold, crossing at 166 kt against a target of 134 kt; carrying that much extra speed usually carries the touchdown long.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 134 kt on approach, and threshold speed against 134 kt at the threshold.
Departure
Rotate the moment the speed tape reaches 153 kt, not after it.
What happened: Rotation was held until 174 kt, 21 kt past the 153 kt rotation target. Carrying that much extra speed into rotation usually adds unwanted energy right at liftoff.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 2.4° off, against a 1° limit and speed 42 kt FAST on the reference speed of 134 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 35 kt FAST on the reference speed of 134 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,865 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,865 m of the 2,121 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 682 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777F taxied to runway 36L at KMEM Memphis International Airport and commenced the take-off roll, using 1,668 m of runway (59 % of the available length). Liftoff was achieved at 175 kt in conditions of 22 °C temperature, a 4 kt headwind from 330°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt headwind component.
The first en-route climb began one mile north-west of KMEM, climbing from 1,469 ft asl to 35,747 ft asl, an altitude gain of 34,278 ft. The climb was completed in 16 minutes while covering 118 nm.
A level cruise segment started one mile south of Sweet Home, Arkansas and lasted 29 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 251 nm at cruise altitude.
The next climb segment originated one mile north of KGLE Gainesville Municipal Airport, Texas, rising from 35,748 ft asl to 37,578 ft asl, a gain of 1,830 ft. This climb took 3 minutes and spanned 30 nm.
Subsequent cruise began three miles south of 0F2 Bowie Muni, Texas and continued for 154 minutes, covering 1,271 nm at the cruise level.
A further climb started at latitude 25.9076943, longitude -120.5580685, increasing altitude from 38,316 ft asl to 39,731 ft asl, a rise of 1,415 ft. The aircraft completed this climb in 2 minutes over a distance of 13 nm.
The following cruise segment commenced at latitude 25.8635315, longitude -120.8204579 and lasted 633 minutes, during which 1,938 nm were flown at the high-altitude cruise level.
Descent began 36 nm east of Hana, Hawaii, with the aircraft descending from 39,743 ft asl to 3,902 ft asl, a loss of 35,840 ft. The descent was performed in 20 minutes while covering 132 nm.
A short cruise followed 15 nm south of East Honolulu, lasting 8 minutes and covering 31 nm.
The next descent started three miles south of Ocean Pointe, Hawaii, dropping from 2,228 ft asl to 1,402 ft asl, a decrease of 826 ft in 2 minutes over 5 nm.
During final approach to runway 04L at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport, the aircraft approached from the south-west on a heading of 57.0° at 4 nm and 1,383 ft agl. Local weather reported 26 °C temperature, a 13 kt wind from 60°, a 2 kt cross-wind and a 13 kt headwind.
Landing on runway 04L was executed with a runway length of 2,121 m; the threshold speed was recorded at 166 kt. Touchdown occurred 277 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 161 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 228 fpm and very good runway-touchdown alignment. The threshold height was noted as good.
Rollout continued for a total landing distance of 1,796 m, representing 85 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.
In total, the flight covered 3,795 nm, required 475 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 54,900 kg of fuel.
