Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 3.5 ft, 7.7 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
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 1,577 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,577 m of the 3,363 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 416 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300 taxied from the parking area to runway 27R at London Heathrow (EGLL) in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 27R, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 2,155 m (55 % of the runway) and lifted off at 194 kt; ambient temperature was 28 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 300°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
The first en-route climb began overhead Colnbrook, rising from 1,063 ft asl to 29,802 ft asl - a gain of 28,739 ft - in 15 minutes while traversing 95 nm.
Level cruise commenced 11 mi south-east of Easton, lasting 45 minutes and covering 350 nm.
A subsequent climb segment started at latitude 46.13031, longitude -8.3712564, climbing from 30,048 ft asl to 31,904 ft asl (gain of 1,856 ft) in 2 minutes over 13 nm.
The next cruise phase began at latitude 45.9324287, longitude -8.5674907 and continued for 185 minutes, during which 1,531 nm were flown.
A further climb was logged from latitude 24.8284321, longitude -22.3540456, ascending from 32,078 ft asl to 33,502 ft asl (increase of 1,424 ft) in 2 minutes across 14
The Boeing 777-300 commenced its final approach to runway 20 at SGAS Silvio Pettirossi International Airport from the north on a heading of 193.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,322 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 146 kt. Touchdown distance was good at 418 m, although touchdown speed at 146 kt was noted as a little fast.
Touchdown occurred with a firm rate of -370 fpm and the aircraft landed slightly misaligned by 3.7 m from the centreline.
Runway rollout alignment was very good; total landing distance was 1,508 m, representing 45 % of the 3,363 m runway. Local weather was 25 °C, wind 8 kt from 40 °, with a 4 kt crosswind component and a 7 kt tailwind component.
Maintain tighter speed control to eliminate the slight excess above the target touchdown speed, and refine centre-line tracking to reduce the 3.7 m deviation, ensuring consistent aim-point placement and preserving the high overall score.
