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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,285 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 404 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a Boeing 787-10 aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX), taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 25R, with a takeoff distance of 2,021 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 168 knots.
As the aircraft departed, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 17°C and winds of 3 knots at 99°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was 2 knots. After departing KLAX, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of El Segundo, California. The climb took 17 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,002 feet above sea level to 34,156 feet, an increase of 33,155 feet. The climb covered a distance of 112 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 50 miles south of San Nicolas Island Nolf Airport (KNSI). This cruise phase lasted for 188 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,623 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from a latitude of 14.7771105 and longitude of -142.3777382, to an altitude of 37,768 feet. This climb took only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 30 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting at a latitude of 14.4044131 and longitude of -142.7645362. This cruise phase lasted for 479 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 3,781 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 70 miles northeast of Okiwi Station Airport (NZOX) in Auckland, New Zealand. The descent took 26 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 38,006 feet to 1,305 feet, a decrease of 36,701 feet. The descent covered a distance of 127 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23L at Auckland International Airport (NZAA) took place from the east, with the aircraft heading 251.0° at an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 23L, which has a length of 3,285 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 150 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 407 meters, and the touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -213 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 18°C and winds of 9 knots at 220°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,332 meters, which is 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,683 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 724 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 65,016 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 787-10 aircraft successfully landed at Auckland International Airport, achieving a score of 96.5%. The final approach to runway 23L was initiated from the east, with a heading of 251.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 150 knots. The touchdown distance of 407 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 135 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate of -213 feet per minute was only fair, indicating that the aircraft could have been brought down to the ground more smoothly.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were mild, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 220°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,332 meters was 41% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to land smoothly and efficiently, with minimal loss of speed. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its direction and speed after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 96.5%. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate and runway alignment, which may be areas for improvement in future landings.
