Arrival
Fly the aircraft onto the runway at the aim point instead of holding it off and letting it float further down the runway.
What happened: This landing touched down well beyond the target point on the runway, with nothing else in the approach or flare accounting for it.
Watch for: Aim point markings: touchdown at the target point on the runway.
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 1,857 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,857 m of the 3,773 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 552 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 777-300 departed from London Heathrow Airport, taking off from runway 27L with a takeoff distance of 2,309 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 194 knots, with a local temperature of 36 degrees Celsius and a wind of 6 knots at 250 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it passed through several phases of ascent. The first climb phase started 1 mile south east of Colnbrook, where the aircraft gained 4,996 feet in 4 minutes, covering 17 nautical miles. The second climb phase began overhead Aylesford, where the aircraft climbed to 30,330 feet in 16 minutes, covering 112 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a prolonged level cruise phase, lasting 171 minutes, as it covered 1,448 nautical miles over Dentergem, Flanders, Belgium. The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, passing through several more phases, before beginning its descent into Hong Kong International Airport.
The descent phase started 6 miles south of Daliang, where the aircraft descended from 35,004 feet to 4,504 feet in 19 minutes, covering 120 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a final approach phase, aligning with runway 25L at Hong Kong International Airport. The aircraft landed with a touchdown speed of 145 knots, which was slightly fast, but the touchdown rate was good at -154 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 1,786 meters, accounting for 47% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, completing a total flight distance of 5,966 nautical miles, which took 697 minutes and consumed 101,597 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 25L at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 148 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown point was 145 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, was still within a manageable distance.
The touchdown speed of 145 kt was slightly higher than the recommended value, resulting in a touchdown rate of -154 fpm, which was still within the acceptable range. However, this slight deviation from the optimal touchdown speed did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the touchdown phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 31 °C and a light headwind of 3 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,786 m, which accounted for 47% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 777-300 was excellent, with a score of 98.8% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the crew.
