Settle the descent rate
Next time
Hold the aim point and wait for the runway to come to you instead of starting the flare at 73 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 73 ft, well above the normal band and 28 ft earlier than the 45 ft limit.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the normal flare band around 50 ft.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate 2,614 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and glideslope 4.1° against the runway's 3°.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,051 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,051 m of the 3,363 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 587 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from SBCF Tancredo Neves International Airport, the Boeing 777-300 taxied 4 nm in 7 minutes before rolling out on runway 34. The takeoff run measured 223 m, representing 8 % of the available runway, and the aircraft achieved liftoff speed of 157 kt. Local conditions were 24 °C with a 4 kt wind from 240°, yielding a 3 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
After becoming airborne, the aircraft climbed from 3,709 ft to 33,599 ft in 11 minutes, covering 70 nm, and then entered a 30-minute cruise segment that spanned 217 nm. A subsequent climb began 2 mi east of Boa Esperança do Sul, raising the altitude from 33,990 ft to 37,999 ft in 3 minutes over 24 nm. The aircraft then maintained level flight for 58 minutes, covering 408 nm, before descending from 37,969 ft to 2,375 ft over 127 nm in 23 minutes.
Approaching SGAS Silvio Pettirossi International Airport, the aircraft entered final approach to runway 02 from the south, heading 14.0° at 4 nm and 2,063 ft AGL. Landing occurred at 148 kt, slightly above the target, with touchdown speed of 145 kt and a touchdown rate of -279 fpm. The touchdown point lay 173 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the aircraft used 1,973 m of the 3,363 m runway, accounting for 59 % of the available length. After a 3-minute taxi to the parking, the total flight distance was 858 nm, the flight time was 137 minutes, and 16,102 kg of fuel were consumed.
The final approach to runway 02 at SGAS Silvio Pettirossi International Airport was conducted from the south, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 14.0° at 4 nm and 2,063 ft AGL. The touchdown occurred 173 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 145 kt, slightly above the target, and a touchdown rate of minus 279 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was described as perfect, and the touchdown speed was noted as a little fast.
The aircraft landed on runway 02, which measures 3,363 m in length. The total landing distance was 1,973 m, representing 59 % of the runway. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 148 kt. Local weather conditions were 10 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 180°, a crosswind of 0 kt, and a tailwind of 1 kt. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.
