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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,982 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,982 m of the 3,764 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 506 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300 taxied from the parking area to runway 28R at KORD Chicago O’Hare International Airport, a movement that required 9 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 28R, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 2,731 m, representing 69 % of the runway, and lifted off at 215 kt. Local weather at the time was 30 °C with a wind of 8 kt from 169 °, a cross-wind component of 8 kt and a tail-wind component of 1 kt.
The initial climb began overhead Bensenville, Illinois, United States, climbing from 1,866 ft asl to 33,624 ft asl - an increase of 31,758 ft - in 19 minutes while covering 127 nm.
Level cruise commenced 3 miles south-east of Princeton, Wisconsin, United States, and persisted for 300 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 2,293 nm.
Descent started 14 miles west of PAJO Johnstone Point Airport, Hinchinbrook, Alaska, United States, descending from 32,223 ft asl to 9,648 ft asl - a loss of 22,575 ft - in 5 minutes and covering 38 nm.
A subsequent climb was initiated 12 miles north-west of PYL Perry Island Seaplane Base, Perry Island, Alaska, United States, gaining altitude from 9,710 ft asl to 12,545 ft asl - an increase of 2,834 ft - in 3 minutes while covering 22 nm.
The next descent began 5 miles south-east of Girdwood, Alaska, United States, dropping from 12,402 ft asl to 1,412 ft asl - a decrease of 10,990 ft - over 12 minutes and a distance of 50 nm.
Final approach to runway 07R at PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport was conducted from the west, on a heading of 90.0 °, at 4 nm and 1,264 ft agl.
Landing on runway 07R, which is 3,764 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 147 kt. Touchdown occurred 163 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 142 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 58 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 49.7 m from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 16 °C, wind 5 kt from 240 °, a cross-wind of 3 kt and a tail-wind of 4 kt. Total landing distance measured 1,974 m, representing 52 % of the runway.
Runway rollout showed a significant lateral deviation, with the aircraft aligned 34.8 m off the centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 2,542 nm, required 354 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 53,786 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 executed a final approach to runway 07R at PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport from the west, maintaining a heading of 90.0° at 4 nm and 1,264 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, and the aircraft received a score of 73.0%.
During the threshold and flare phase the runway length of 3,764 m provided a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was good at 147 kt. The aircraft crossed the threshold and the touchdown point was 163 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 142 kt that was good and a touchdown rate that was excellent at minus 58 fpm.
Touchdown occurred with the runway touchdown position excessively misaligned by 49.7 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 1,974 m, representing 52 % of the runway length.
Rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 34.8 m from the centreline, completing the landing sequence.
Focus on maintaining centreline alignment through the flare and touchdown to reduce the 49.7 m offset, and apply precise directional control during rollout to limit the 34.8 m deviation. These refinements will help improve the overall landing score.
