Improve the touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 2,013 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,013 m of the 3,738 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 665 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 777-300 departed from SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport, located in Brasília, Brazil, on runway 11L. The aircraft accelerated down the 1,764-meter runway, utilizing 55% of its length, and lifted off at a speed of 170 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 25°C, with a gentle wind of 2 knots from 189°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Brasília, it transitioned through several phases of flight, including enroute climbs and level cruises. The first enroute climb, which began 2 miles east of the airport, saw the aircraft ascend from 4,295 feet to 10,008 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The subsequent climbs and level cruises took the aircraft through various altitudes and distances, with the longest level cruise lasting 49 minutes and covering 387 nautical miles. The aircraft's fuel consumption during this period was significant, with the total fuel used amounting to 67,591 kilograms.
As the aircraft approached its destination, KAUS Austin Bergstrom International Airport in Texas, United States, it began its final descent. The aircraft descended from 36,000 feet to 4,348 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 18R was executed from the north, with the aircraft touching down 252 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 143 knots. The total landing distance was 1,935 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding a flight that had covered a total distance of 4,078 nautical miles and lasted 520 minutes.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 18R at KAUS Austin Bergstrom International Airport with a score of 95.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 179.0° at 4 nm and 1,348 ft above ground level. The final approach was characterized by good quality, with a smooth descent and a well-controlled rate of descent. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 147 kt, indicating a good control of the aircraft's energy state.
As the aircraft touched down, it was 252 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal touchdown point. However, the touchdown speed of 143 kt was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -287 fpm was fair. Despite this, 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 25 °C and a 5 kt headwind, contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,935 m was 52% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a few minor deviations from the ideal touchdown point and speed. However, the good approach quality, threshold speed, and runway touchdown alignment contributed to a high overall score.
