What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 7.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,818 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,818 m of the 3,591 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 591 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at John F Kennedy International Airport's runway 22R took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Boeing 777-300 then began its departure roll, accelerating down the 3,591-meter runway to lift off at a speed of 185 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 14 °C, with a gentle tailwind of 4 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed away from New York, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 943 feet above sea level to 35,007 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 121 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a prolonged enroute level cruise, which lasted for 298 minutes and spanned 2,822 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, initially from 34,980 feet to 7,010 feet in 18 minutes, covering 111 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise over Little Chalfont, the aircraft continued its descent, this time from 6,994 feet to 1,381 feet in just 6 minutes, covering 18 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09L at London Heathrow Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft descending from 1,293 feet above ground level to touch down on the 3,591-meter runway. The touchdown point was 176 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 136 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -324 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. Following a taxiing time of 2 minutes, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 3,087 nautical miles and consuming 43,778 kilograms of fuel in the process, which took a total of 349 minutes.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 09L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach. The threshold speed was also well-managed, reaching 144 kt as the aircraft crossed the threshold. The touchdown point was 176 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run, but the touchdown speed of 136 kt was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -324 fpm was firm, suggesting a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the slight crosswind component of 1 kt. However, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 5 °C and a wind speed of 2 kt at 290 °, were generally favourable for landing. The total landing distance of 1,738 m was 48% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range for a Boeing 777-300.
The rollout phase was executed well, with the aircraft maintaining a very good alignment with the centreline. The crew's ability to control the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase was evident, resulting in a smooth and stable deceleration. Overall, the landing was scored 95.7%, reflecting the crew's good performance and adherence to standard operating procedures.
