Flight Score
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 4.7 ft, 6.5 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
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 2,047 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,047 m of the 3,526 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 694 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-200ER taxied from the parking area to runway 10L at KFLL Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in 5 minutes, covering 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 10L, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,084 m, representing 42 % of the runway, and lifted off at 150 kt. Ambient conditions were 32 °C with calm wind (0 kt from 180°), no cross-wind and no head-wind component.
The first en-route climb commenced 1 mile north-east of Dania Beach, Florida. The aircraft rose from 1,032 ft asl to 34,986 ft asl, an increase of 33,954 ft, in 20 minutes while covering 142 nm.
Level cruise began 44 miles north of MYAW Walkers Cay Airport, Bahamas, and continued for 154 minutes, during which 1,311 nm were flown.
A second climb segment started 57 miles south of CSB2 Sable Island Landing Strip, Nova Scotia. Altitude increased from 34,999 ft asl to 37,005 ft asl, a gain of 2,005 ft, in 3 minutes over 28 nm.
The subsequent cruise segment originated 47 miles south-east of the same Sable Island strip and lasted 40 minutes, covering 342 nm.
A third climb began at latitude 45.4736609, longitude -52.1160636, with the aircraft climbing from 37,002 ft asl to 37,525 ft asl, a rise of 523 ft in 2 minutes while traversing 13 nm.
The following cruise phase started at latitude 45.5522504, longitude -51.7972538 and persisted for 172 minutes, during which 1,535 nm were covered.
A fourth climb was initiated at latitude 52.0040971, longitude -14.0156815, raising the aircraft from 38,004 ft asl to 40,577 ft asl, an increase of 2,572 ft in 3 minutes across 28 nm.
The final cruise segment began at latitude 52.156189, longitude -13.2659079, lasting 67 minutes and encompassing 551 nm.
Descent commenced 6 miles north-east of Happisburgh, Norfolk, England. The aircraft descended from 40,997 ft asl to 1,284 ft asl, a loss of 39,714 ft, in 22 minutes while covering 130 nm.
On final approach to runway 18R at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the aircraft approached from the north on a heading of 183.0° at 4 nm and 1,277 ft agl.
Landing on runway 18R, which is 3,526 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 63 ft agl (above target) and a threshold speed of 138 kt (slightly above target). Touchdown was recorded 269 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 135 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 396 fpm and a lateral deviation of 6.9 m from the centreline. Local weather was 19 °C with wind 4 kt from 210°, including a 2 kt cross-wind and a 4 kt head-wind component.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,957 m, representing 55 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout was reported as very good.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 9 minutes, traveling 3 nm.
In total, the flight covered 4,090 nm, required 500 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 49,181 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-200ER on final approach to runway 18R at EHAM was established on the north side at 4 nm, heading 183.0° and 1,277 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the aircraft was 63 ft agl, which was above the target height, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 138 kt.
Touchdown occurred 269 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 135 kt, described as a little fast, and a firm touchdown rate of minus 396 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 6.9 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance was 1,957 m, representing 55 % of the 3,526 m runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.
To improve the score, aim to achieve the touchdown zone within the first 300 m and reduce the touchdown speed to the target value, which will also help tighten the centreline alignment. Adjusting the flare to attain the target speed will lessen the firm touchdown rate and keep the landing distance well within runway limits.
