Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 266 m past the target, landing at 723 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
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 2,710 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 723 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300 taxied from the parking area to runway 25R at KLAX, a movement that lasted 8 minutes and covered 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 25R, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,406 m, representing 39 % of the runway, and lifted off at 185 kt. Ambient conditions were 32 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 250°, giving a 5 kt headwind and a 1 kt cross-wind component.
The initial climb began overhead KLAX, climbing from 1,078 ft asl to 31,002 ft asl, an altitude gain of 29,924 ft achieved in 20 minutes while covering 141 nm.
Level cruise commenced 11 mi west of Baker, California and continued for 89 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 751 nm.
A subsequent climb started 4 mi east of the Cullan Hemingford navigation fix (8NE1), raising the aircraft from 31,248 ft asl to 32,941 ft asl, a gain of 1,693 ft in 2 minutes over 15 nm.
The next cruise segment began 4 mi southwest of Orr Ranch Airport (33NE) near Hay Springs, Nebraska, lasting 140 minutes and covering 1,200 nm.
Climb resumed 57 mi north of Waswanipi, Quebec, with the aircraft ascending from 32,991 ft asl to 34,997 ft asl, a rise of 2,006 ft in 3 minutes while traveling 30 nm.
Cruise then continued 57 mi southeast of CYHH Nemiscau Airport, Nemiscau, Quebec, for 225 minutes and a distance of 1,936 nm.
A further climb was logged at latitude 55.076529 and longitude -22.4807266, where the aircraft rose from 35,495 ft asl to 36,992 ft asl, an increase of 1,497 ft in 2 minutes across 13 nm.
The following cruise segment began at latitude 55.0671459 and longitude -22.0618537, lasting 107 minutes and covering 857 nm.
Descent commenced 8 mi south of Eastbourne, England, with the aircraft descending from 37,006 ft asl to 1,669 ft asl, a loss of 35,337 ft in 24 minutes while covering 136 nm.
The final approach to runway 09L at LFPG was flown from the west on a heading of 85.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,313 ft agl.
Landing on runway 09L, which is 2,700 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 145 kt; touchdown was recorded 321 m beyond the touchdown zone at 136 kt, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 136 fpm and a lateral deviation of 3.1 m from the centreline. Local conditions were 14 °C with a calm wind of 2 kt from 0°, providing a 2 kt cross-wind and no head-wind component.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,510 m, representing 56 % of the runway, and runway alignment was described as perfect.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
In total, the flight covered 5,089 nm, required 628 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 85,959 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 established a final approach to runway 09L at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport from the west, tracking a heading of 85.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,313 ft agl while the local temperature was 14 °C, wind 2 kt from 0 °, with a 2 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.
Threshold height was good and the aircraft maintained a threshold speed of 145 kt, both described as good in the data.
Touchdown occurred 321 m beyond the designated touchdown zone at a speed of 136 kt, which was noted as good, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 136 fpm. Lateral alignment was slightly off centreline by 3.1 m, and the total landing distance measured 1,510 m, representing 56 % of the 2,700 m runway.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect, completing the landing sequence without deviation.
To tighten the landing profile, aim to place the main gear within the touchdown zone and reduce the 3.1 m lateral offset from centreline; these adjustments will bring the already strong performance closer to optimal precision.
