Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,621 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,621 m of the 3,516 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 679 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight on the Boeing 777F began with a 10-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) runway 24L. The departure roll covered 498 meters (17% of the runway) before reaching a liftoff speed of 184 knots with local weather conditions of 27°C temperature, 3 knots of wind at 50°, with a 2-knot crosswind and 3-knot tailwind.
The enroute climb started 2 miles south of Marina del Rey, California, climbing from 1,042 feet above sea level (asl) to 34,486 feet asl, covering a distance of 88 nm in 14 minutes. The level cruise phase began 9 miles northeast of Los Olivos, lasting 11 minutes and covering 89 nm.
The enroute descent phase started 6 miles southwest of Lockwood, California, descending from 34,080 feet asl to 1,683 feet asl, covering a distance of 116 nm in 22 minutes. The final approach was to runway 28R at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO) from the southeast, landing at 1,652 feet above ground level (agl) with a touchdown slightly beyond the designated zone.
The landing was completed at a speed slightly over target at 151 knots with a firm touchdown rate of -313 ft/min. The total landing distance was 1,548 meters (44% of the runway), with good alignment during rollout. The taxi from the runway to the parking area took 6 minutes and covered 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 305 nm, taking 63 minutes and consuming 8,958 kg of fuel. The flight displayed efficient operations throughout its phases from takeoff to landing at San Francisco International Airport.
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 93.5% is quite impressive and indicates a high level of proficiency in most aspects of the landing process.
During the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was excellent, which suggests that you were able to maintain the correct angle of descent as you approached the runway. However, your threshold speed was slightly above target at 151 knots, which could have been a contributing factor to the firm touchdown rate during the Touchdown Phase.
In the Landing Phase, you had a good threshold height, indicating that you approached the runway at the correct altitude. However, the poor landing flare suggests that there was room for improvement in smoothly transitioning from descent to landing.
The Touchdown Phase is where there is the most room for improvement. Your touchdown rate was firm at -313 ft/m, which could potentially lead to discomfort for passengers and increased wear and tear on the aircraft. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 148 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the firm touchdown rate. The touchdown point being 271 meters beyond the touchdown zone is a significant error and indicates that adjustments need to be made to ensure that you are landing in the correct area of the runway. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that you were able to touch down in the correct location laterally.
Overall, while there are areas for improvement, your high landing score indicates that you are already proficient in many aspects of the landing process. By focusing on improving your threshold speed, landing flare, touchdown rate, touchdown speed, and touchdown point, you can continue to refine your skills and achieve even better landing scores in the future. Keep up the good work!
