Inflight Event / Encounter Wake Vortex Encounter
Flight Crew Took Evasive Action
Environment - Non Weather Related; Human Factors; Procedure
We were on final approach for runway 24R at LAX following a 'Heavy' Boeing 777 with a light quarterly tailwind. The approach was stable until approximately 50ft when we believe we encountered the preceding 777's wake turbulence. The wake turbulence caused the left wing to suddenly raise; banking us to the right. At this time the EGPWS warning for 'Bank Angle' sounded. Captain called for the controls and I relinquished them. He corrected and landed in the touchdown zone.A suggestion that could have prevented this situation would be to touchdown beyond the preceding aircraft's touchdown point. In the future I will take caution whenever following a large aircraft with a tailwind and I will make a more immediate action to correct the situation or initiate an immediate go-around.
EMB-175 First Officer reported encountering wake turbulence in trail of a B777 on short final to LAX.
