Shorten the long landing
Next time
Fly a stabilized approach and flare to touch down at the target point of 457 m.
What happened: Touchdown occurred past the normal point, landing 123 m beyond the target distance. This pattern typically reduces the margin available for stopping before the runway end.
Watch for: Watch touchdown point against the 457 m marker.
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 1,674 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,674 m of the 2,253 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 580 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from SGAS Silvio Pettirossi International Airport, the Boeing 777-300 taxied 1 nm in 5 minutes before rolling out on runway 02. The takeoff run measured 952 m, representing 28 % of the available runway, and the aircraft achieved liftoff speed of 158 kt. Weather at departure was 9 °C with a 1 kt wind from 100°, producing a 1 kt crosswind and no headwind.
The climb phase began immediately after departure, rising from 1,241 ft to 37,911 ft in 14 minutes over 98 nm, an ascent of 36,670 ft. Cruise commenced 13 miles west of SGSU Estancia Buena Vista Airport and persisted for 56 minutes, covering 420 nm. Descent started 12 miles east of SUDU Santa Bernardina International Airport, dropping from 37,999 ft to 1,988 ft in 21 minutes across 124 nm, a descent of 36,011 ft. A brief cruise of 6 nm followed 11 miles south of Barra de Carrasco, lasting 2 minutes. The final descent, 7 miles south of Barra de Carrasco, reduced altitude from 2,000 ft to 1,184 ft in 2 minutes over 5 nm, a 816-ft drop.
Landing on runway 01 at SUMU Carrasco General Cesáreo L. Berisso International Airport, the aircraft touched down 164 m beyond the touchdown zone at 139 kt, with a touchdown rate of -73 fpm. The touchdown alignment was perfect, and the threshold speed of 146 kt matched the runway length of 2,246 m, resulting in a total landing distance of 1,594 m, or 71 % of the runway. After a 5-minute taxi of 2 nm to the parking, the flight covered 661 nm, consumed 12,406 kg of fuel, and took 107 minutes in total.
The final approach to runway 01 at SUMU Carrasco General Cesáreo L. Berisso International Airport was conducted from the south, with the aircraft aligned on a heading of 1.0° at a distance of 4 nm and an altitude of 1,103 ft above ground level. The touchdown occurred 164 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 139 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 73 fpm. The aircraft’s alignment at touchdown was described as perfect, and the touchdown speed was noted as a little fast.
The aircraft landed on runway 01, which has a length of 2,246 m. The touchdown point was 164 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the total landing distance was 1,594 m, representing 71 % of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also described as perfect. Local weather conditions were 10 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 359°, providing a headwind of 5 kt and a crosswind of 0 kt. The threshold speed was reported as good at 146 kt.
