Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 216 m past the target, landing at 673 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
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 1,892 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,892 m of the 3,050 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 673 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX), the Boeing 777-300 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 25R, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 24 °C and a gentle headwind of 6 knots at 250°.
After a successful departure roll, the aircraft began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,056 feet above sea level to 33,018 feet in just 18 minutes, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a prolonged level cruise, which lasted for 83 minutes and covered 721 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to cruise at various altitudes, making adjustments as necessary to optimize fuel efficiency and maintain a smooth flight profile. Notably, the climb from 32,999 feet to 34,889 feet in just 2 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles, demonstrated the aircraft's impressive climb capabilities.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Keflavik International Airport (BIKF), it began its descent, gradually losing altitude from 36,997 feet to 1,427 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles. The final approach was executed from the west, with the aircraft aligning itself with runway 10. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 136 knots and a touchdown rate of -110 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 1,818 meters, which was 60% of the runway length. After a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding its journey of 3,840 nautical miles, which had taken a total of 468 minutes and consumed 60,850 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 10 at BIKF Keflavik International Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -110 fpm, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft's speed at touchdown was 136 kt, which was within the acceptable range, and the threshold speed of 145 kt was also satisfactory. The touchdown point was 264 m beyond the touchdown zone, but this was not considered a significant deviation given the overall performance of the landing.
The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a very good runway touchdown alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9 °C and a gentle headwind of 4 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The aircraft's ability to maintain a steady heading of 90.0 ° during the final approach also demonstrated good control and navigation skills.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining very good alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,818 m, which accounted for 60% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 97.4% reflecting the crew's skill and attention to detail.
