Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 1,896 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,896 m of the 3,138 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 685 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 07R at Hong Kong International Airport (VHHH). The takeoff distance was 2,044 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 193 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 49 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile north of Tung Chung, an area in the Islands District of Hong Kong. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,035 feet above sea level to 27,762 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,727 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 61 nautical miles.
After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 11 miles west of Licheng in Guangdong Sheng, China. This phase lasted for 1,008 minutes and covered a distance of 4,887 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started overhead Wiggensbach in Bavaria, Germany. The descent from 27,879 feet above sea level to 2,563 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,317 feet, took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 72 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14 at Zürich Airport (LSZH) was made from the northwest, heading 137.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,146 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 14 was successful, with a touchdown point 267 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 140 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -266 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 1 degree Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 199 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,814 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 5,030 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 749 minutes. The aircraft used 114,461 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Zürich Airport (LSZH) with a score of 96.8%. The final approach to runway 14 was initiated from the north-west, with a heading of 137.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,146 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 147 knots. However, the touchdown point was located 267 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which could be considered a minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 140 knots was within the acceptable range, but the touchdown rate of -266 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating a slightly steeper descent than desired.
Despite the minor deviations, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 1°C, a wind speed of 2 knots from 199°, and a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 1,814 meters was 58% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and touchdown point accuracy.
