Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 61 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 61 ft, 16 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed above the reference speed.

The rest of the report
The flight was conducted on a Boeing 777-200ER aircraft, originating from Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, which is located in YSSY. As the plane began its journey, it took 9 minutes to taxi from the parking area to the runway, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
Departure from Sydney took place on runway 34R, with the takeoff distance covering 61% of the runway's length at 1,336 meters. The aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 164 knots, against the influence of local weather conditions. At the time of departure, the temperature was a comfortable 20 degrees Celsius, while the wind blew at 6 knots from a direction of 240 degrees. The crosswind was moderate at 5 knots, while the tailwind had a gentle impact of 2 knots.
As the aircraft gained altitude, it began an initial climb from Botany, a town in the state of New South Wales, Australia. This climb raised the plane to a height of 34,832 feet above sea level, representing an increase of 33,794 feet. This phase of the climb covered a distance of 138 nautical miles and spanned a time of 20 minutes.
The first phase of enroute level cruise started approximately 49 miles east of Elizabeth Beach, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. During this period, the aircraft cruised at a steady altitude for 87 minutes, covering a distance of 809 nautical miles. The flight continued to follow a course that required it to ascend to higher altitudes. When the aircraft started the first climb from the vicinity of NWBO Ile Hugon Airstrip Bouloupari, in the province of Sud, New Caledonia, it rose from 35,538 feet above sea level to 37,106 feet, over the course of 2 minutes and 15 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb at NWBO Ile Hugon Airstrip Bouloupari, the aircraft resumed its enroute level cruise for a prolonged period, lasting 195 minutes as it covered a further 1,645 nautical miles to the vicinity of Latitude -1.8680476 and Longitude -177.3821708.
After reaching a height of 36,935 feet above sea level at the specified latitude and longitude, the aircraft climbed to 38,936 feet above sea level within a mere 3 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
As the plane continued on its route, its next climb saw it ascend from 38,936 feet above sea level to 39,067 feet above sea level at Latitude -1.4791194 and Longitude -177.0772725, in a time of 3 minutes and covering 28 nautical miles.
The prolonged enroute cruise started after the climb to 39,067 feet. The aircraft continued this cruise for a prolonged period, lasting 208 minutes, while covering a further distance of 1,663 nautical miles.
A descent phase of the flight began once the aircraft reached Latitude 19.6147644 and Longitude -158.7584778. This descent dropped the plane to 1,936 feet above sea level from its initial altitude of 39,067 feet above sea level, a reduction of 37,131 feet. This phase of the flight, which involved a decrease of such a significant magnitude in altitude within a span of 31 minutes, covered a distance of 148 nautical miles.
In preparation for landing, the aircraft initiated a final approach to runway 02 at PHOG Kahului International Airport, which was located in a southerly direction from the aircraft, at a heading of 35.0° and at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,876 feet above ground level.
Following a successful landing, the
The aircraft in question, a Boeing 777-200ER, has successfully completed a landing at PHOG Kahului International Airport's runway 02 after a final approach from the southwest. The aircraft's approach was conducted at an altitude of 1,876 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles (nm) from the runway. The approach was initiated with a heading of 35.0 degrees, which indicates a slight deviation from the standard glideslope of 3°. This deviation would typically require a correction during the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 135 knots, indicating that the pilot smoothly transitioned from a stable descent to a stable landing phase. The touchdown distance of 459 meters was also within the acceptable limits, suggesting that the aircraft's speed and configuration were well managed during the landing phase. Moreover, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was in line with the aircraft's certified touchdown speed, further indicating a well-executed landing.
However, the touchdown rate of -273 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have utilized more gentle flare, or that the aircraft landed with some forward speed at touchdown. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate was not excessively high and therefore did not pose a risk to the safety of the aircraft or its occupants.
The runway rollout alignment of the aircraft was, according to the report, perfect, which suggests that the pilot expertly controlled the aircraft's speed and direction during the braking phase. The local weather conditions, including a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 30 degrees, also contributed to a smooth landing. The wind was reported to be a headwind, reducing the aircraft's required ground roll and making the landing even more challenging to achieve.
The total landing distance of 967 meters (45% of the runway's length) suggests that the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's momentum after touchdown, gradually bringing the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft landing on the runway and coming to a stop without incident.
