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 1,849 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,849 m of the 3,602 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 734 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300 departed from Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, taking off from runway 34R with a takeoff distance of 1,608 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 182 knots, with a local temperature of 24°C and a wind of 6 knots at 10°. The crosswind component was minimal, with a headwind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Seattle, it reached a cruising altitude of 32,993 feet, an increase of 31,610 feet in 17 minutes. The enroute level cruise phase started 22 miles southeast of Hope, British Columbia, and lasted 111 minutes, covering 952 nautical miles. The aircraft then began a series of climbs and level cruises, reaching altitudes of up to 36,990 feet and covering distances of over 1,900 nautical miles. The final descent phase started overhead Weston, England, and the aircraft touched down on runway 09L at London Heathrow Airport with a touchdown speed of 137 knots and a touchdown rate of -174 feet per minute.
The landing distance of 1,772 meters was 49% of the runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 4,195 nautical miles, taking 523 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 65,169 kilograms of fuel. Taxiing from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The flight was completed with a good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown speed, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 09L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision. The aircraft descended from 1,346 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, aligning itself with the runway heading of 90.0 degrees. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition to the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 137 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -174 feet per minute was also satisfactory. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal touchdown point. The touchdown point itself was 322 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance considering the runway length of 3,591 meters.
The Boeing 777-300's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment with the runway centreline, demonstrating good control and stability. The total landing distance of 1,772 meters, which accounts for 49% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The landing was completed in a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from 10 degrees, with a negligible crosswind component. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 95.2%.
