Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 142 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 154 kt, 12 kt above 142 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 142 kt at the threshold.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 2.7° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 18 kt FAST on the reference speed of 142 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,671 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 804 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777F taxied to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport and commenced the departure roll. Takeoff was achieved after a ground run of 890 m, representing 24 % of the available runway, with liftoff attained at 152 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 12 °C, wind from 320° at 12 kt, including an 11 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind component.
Climb began overhead the departure airport, with the aircraft accelerating from 1,001 ft asl to 1,608 ft asl, a gain of 607 ft in 1 minute while covering 4 nm.
Cruise commenced approximately 3 miles south of NZAA and persisted for 4 minutes, during which the flight covered 13 nm at level altitude.
Descent was initiated from 1,365 ft agl down to 85 ft agl in 100 seconds, and the aircraft satisfied the stabilisation-gate criteria.
The final approach was executed toward runway 23L at NZAA, maintaining the established glide path and speed parameters.
Landing occurred on runway 23L, whose total length is 3,671 m. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 155 kt. Touchdown was recorded 385 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 140 kt and a firm touchdown rate of minus 383 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 5.1 m from the centreline, and the total landing roll measured 1,431 m, equivalent to 39 % of the runway. Weather conditions at landing matched those at departure: temperature 12 °C, wind 12 kt from 320°, cross-wind 11 kt, head-wind 4 kt.
During rollout the aircraft’s alignment deviated 10.2 m from the centreline before exiting the runway.
In total the flight covered 22 nm, required 7 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 1,413 kg of fuel.
