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 263 m past the target, landing at 720 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 1,532 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,532 m of the 2,685 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 720 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777F taxied from the parking area to runway 25R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport in eight minutes, covering three nautical miles.
During the departure roll on runway 25R, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 182 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,731 m, which represented 48 % of the runway; local weather was 26 °C with a 2 kt wind from 144°, a 2 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt tailwind.
The initial climb began one mile north-west of El Segundo, climbing from 1,078 ft asl to 31,007 ft asl, an altitude gain of 29,930 ft achieved in 24 minutes while covering 154 nm.
Level cruise commenced two miles north of L78 Jacumba Airport and continued for 78 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 625 nm.
A second climb started 14 miles north-west of MM84 Parral Airport, raising the altitude from 31,114 ft asl to 32,892 ft asl, a gain of 1,777 ft in two minutes over a distance of 14 nm.
The subsequent cruise segment began three miles north-west of Parral and lasted 229 minutes, covering 1,913 nm.
A third climb was initiated 13 miles south of MP26 Punta Cocos Airport, increasing altitude from 32,874 ft asl to 34,988 ft asl, a rise of 2,113 ft in three minutes across 29 nm.
The following cruise phase started 18 miles west of MPBP Bahia Pinas, lasting 136 minutes and encompassing 1,163 nm.
Descent began 54 miles south-west of SWOW Moura Airport, descending from 35,000 ft asl to 1,567 ft asl, a loss of 33,434 ft in 24 minutes while covering 131 nm.
The final approach to runway 11 at SBEG Eduardo Gomes International Airport was executed from the west on a heading of 91.0°, intercepting the glide path at four nautical miles and 1,295 ft agl.
Landing on runway 11, which is 2,685 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 150 kt; the aircraft touched down 308 m beyond the touchdown zone at 143 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 157 fpm and perfect runway alignment, under weather conditions of 30 °C, a 3 kt wind from 110°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind. Total landing distance was 1,455 m, representing 54 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was very good as the aircraft decelerated to a stop after the touchdown.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in one minute, covering less than one nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered 4,041 nm, took 505 minutes, and consumed 74,384 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 11 at SBEG Eduardo Gomes International Airport was conducted from the west on a heading of 91.0° at 4 nm and 1,295 ft agl, with a good threshold height. The aircraft maintained a threshold speed of 150 kt, noted as slightly above target, while local conditions were 30 °C, wind 3 kt from 110°, cross-wind 1 kt and head-wind 2 kt.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft continued the stabilized approach, preserving the slight excess speed of 150 kt and preparing for touchdown with the runway alignment already established as perfect.
Touchdown occurred 308 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 143 kt described as good and a vertical rate of -157 fpm also rated good. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Rollout used a total landing distance of 1,455 m, representing 54 % of the 2,685 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
To tighten the landing envelope, reduce the approach speed a few knots to meet the target speed and adjust the flare timing to achieve touchdown nearer the aim point, keeping the already excellent alignment and rate.
