Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,599 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,599 m of the 3,285 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 615 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a Boeing 777-200ER aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at San Francisco International Airport, taking approximately 9 minutes to cover a distance of 6 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 28R, with a takeoff distance of 1,916 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 176 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 269 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb started overhead San Bruno, California, and the aircraft ascended from 1,062 feet above sea level to 33,188 feet, an increase of 32,126 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 134 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began at a latitude of 36.2626574 and a longitude of -124.6418151, lasting 137 minutes and covering 1,082 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent another climb, this time from 33,414 feet to 35,393 feet, an increase of 1,979 feet in 3 minutes, covering 30 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed at a latitude of 21.7312824 and a longitude of -137.8932394, lasting 111 minutes and covering 942 nautical miles.
The flight continued with multiple enroute climbs and level cruises, with the aircraft ascending to higher altitudes and covering significant distances. The final enroute climb took place from 37,846 feet to 39,138 feet, an increase of 1,291 feet in 2 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Auckland International Airport, it began its descent from 37,901 feet above sea level to 6,327 feet, a decrease of 31,574 feet in 13 minutes, covering 84 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 10 miles west of Titirangi, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The final descent took place 10 miles south-west of Titirangi, with the aircraft descending from 5,976 feet to 1,314 feet, a decrease of 4,661 feet in 8 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05R at Auckland International Airport took place from the west, with the aircraft heading 71.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,287 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 121 knots and a touchdown rate of -265 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 198 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 1,517 meters, accounting for 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 1 minute to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 5,765 nautical miles, taking 751 minutes and consuming 91,083 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at Auckland International Airport, achieving a score of 96.8%. The final approach to runway 05R was initiated from the west, with a heading of 71.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 125 knots, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing conditions. The touchdown point was located 198 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 121 knots was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -265 feet per minute was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-ideal rate of descent during the final stages of the landing.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 160°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was negligible.
The total landing distance of 1,517 meters was 46% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 96.8%. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing conditions, including a slightly below-target threshold speed and a fair touchdown rate.
