Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on the approach so your speed is back to 128 kt well before the stabilisation gate.
What happened: This flight was fast at the stabilisation gate, then crossed the threshold high on a shallow descent and 10 kt above VREF; carrying that extra speed through to the threshold usually carries the touchdown long, and this flight touched down 84 m past the target point.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 128 kt at the threshold.
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: speed 48 kt FAST on the reference speed of 128 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 17 kt FAST on the reference speed of 128 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,890 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 541 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Geneva Cointrin International Airport (LSGG), the Boeing 737-700 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 04, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 30% of the 1,087-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 144 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 24 °C, with a gentle headwind of 4 knots at 39°.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it passed overhead Ferney-Voltaire, marking the beginning of the enroute climb phase. The aircraft ascended from 2,303 feet above sea level to 36,995 feet, a vertical increase of 34,692 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 107 nautical miles. Following a 27-minute level cruise, during which the aircraft covered 207 nautical miles, the enroute descent phase commenced 1 mile south-west of Nomadelfia. The aircraft descended from 36,997 feet to 1,310 feet, a decrease of 35,687 feet, in 25 minutes and covering 130 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34R at Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (LIRF) was initiated from the south, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 341.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,285 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 34R was executed with a total landing distance of 1,426 meters, which accounted for 37% of the 3,894-meter runway. The touchdown point was 129 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 130 knots, slightly above the target. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 455 nautical miles, with a flight time of 80 minutes and a fuel consumption of 2,901 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 34R at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, with a threshold height of 64 ft agl, exceeding the target by a considerable margin. The aircraft's speed at touchdown was 130 kt, slightly above the desired rate, resulting in a touchdown rate of -259 fpm, which was deemed fair. The touchdown point was located 129 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overextension.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.1 m, which was a minor deviation. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of flight. The total landing distance of 1,426 m accounted for 37% of the runway length, which was within acceptable parameters.
The approach quality was satisfactory, with a heading of 341.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,285 ft agl, indicating a stable and controlled descent. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 °C and a wind speed of 4 kt at 267 °, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. Overall, the landing performance was rated at 89.9%, reflecting a minor deviation from the desired touchdown speed and a slight misalignment from the centreline.
