Try VAPP of 160 knots, set on the autopilot speed setting. I consistently butter at that speed no matter what.

What a lot of people don’t understand is the 787 does not need as aggressive of a flare compared to other aircraft due to it’s lower profile and wing flex. You should be coming in around 140-150 kts ideally, corrected for weight. Only flare the nose about 5 degrees max starting at the 50 AGL callout and simultaneously reduce the thrust to idle.

I do full autoland at 160 knots and it’s always perfect
