Flight Score
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 143 m past the target, landing at 600 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 1,704 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,704 m of the 3,204 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 600 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 19R at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 19R the aircraft used 2,187 m of runway, representing 61 % of the available length, and lifted off at 195 kt; ambient temperature was 27 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 209°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.
The initial climb began 1 mile south of ENGM, climbing from 1,656 ft asl to 30,648 ft asl-a gain of 28,991 ft-in 16 minutes while traversing 106 nm.
Level cruise commenced 25 nm south of Stavern and continued for 248 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 2,075 nm.
A subsequent climb segment started at latitude 24.3248175 and longitude 7.2523954, rising from 31,113 ft asl to 32,926 ft asl, an increase of 1,813 ft in 2 minutes over 14 nm.
The next cruise phase began at latitude 24.0720275 and longitude 7.2793184 and lasted 219 minutes, covering 1,807 nm.
A further climb was initiated 27 nm west of FNCA Cabinda Airport, climbing from 33,031 ft asl to 34,907 ft asl, a gain of 1,876 ft in 2 minutes across 14 nm.
Cruise continued 33 nm southwest of FNCA Cabinda Airport for 204 minutes, during which 1,665 nm were flown.
Descent began 9 nm northwest of Saldanha, with the aircraft descending from 34,991 ft asl to 14,428 ft asl, a loss of 20,563 ft in 9 minutes while covering 64 nm.
A brief level segment was flown 16 nm west of Constantia for 2 minutes, covering 7 nm.
The second descent segment started 13 nm west of Constantia, dropping from 13,700 ft asl to 1,436 ft asl, a decrease of 12,264 ft in 11 minutes over 40 nm.
Final approach to runway 01 at FACT Cape Town International Airport was executed from the south on a heading of 344.0°, at 4 nm and 1,280 ft agl.
Landing on runway 01, which is 3,204 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 151 kt; touchdown occurred 191 m beyond the touchdown zone at 143 kt, with a touchdown rate of -82 fpm and perfect runway-alignment. The total landing distance was 1,630 m, representing 51 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was very good as the aircraft decelerated to a stop.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total the flight covered 5,802 nm, lasted 723 minutes, and consumed 103,958 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 01 at FACT Cape Town International Airport was flown from the south on a heading of 344.0° at 4 nm and 1,280 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.
During the threshold and flare segment the threshold speed was good at 151 kt and the threshold height was good. The aircraft crossed the runway threshold and continued the flare.
Touchdown occurred 191 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 143 kt, noted as a little fast, and a touchdown rate that was excellent at minus 82 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 1,630 m, representing 51 % of the 3,204 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good. Local weather was 7 °C with wind 1 kt from 0°, crosswind 0 kt and headwind 1 kt.
Maintain the aim point approximately 300 m (1,000 ft) in from the threshold and manage the approach speed to be closer to the target VREF to reduce the slight excess speed observed. This will keep touchdown distances within the optimal zone while preserving the excellent alignment already demonstrated.
