Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so speed is back to 128 kt before the gate, not after it.
What happened: Speed control was already loose at the stabilisation gate, and this flight crossed the threshold at 134 kt against a target of 128 kt, 6 kt fast. Carrying excess speed into the gate like this usually carries straight through to a fast threshold crossing.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 128 kt by the gate and held to 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: gear still up and speed 43 kt FAST on the reference speed of 128 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 22 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 1,737 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 406 m touchdown sits inside 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 with a taxiing period of 17 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles to reach the runway. Runway 22 was selected for departure, and the aircraft accelerated down the 1,364-meter runway, taking off at a speed of 143 knots. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a gentle headwind of 6 knots and a crosswind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb phase, reaching an altitude of 37,988 feet above sea level in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles. The climb was initiated overhead Vernier, Switzerland, and the aircraft continued to ascend to its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise phase followed, lasting 71 minutes and covering 506 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying at a steady altitude of 37,988 feet. The descent phase began 7 miles south of Bala, Wales, and the aircraft descended to 3,520 feet above sea level in 25 minutes, covering 125 nautical miles.
The final approach to George Best Belfast City Airport (EGAC) was initiated from the south-west, with the aircraft descending from 3,492 feet above sea level to 1,346 feet above ground level in just 3 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles. The landing was made on runway 04, with a touchdown distance of 406 meters and a speed of 132 knots. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,236 meters, accounting for 71% of the runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, completing the flight in 133 minutes, with a total distance of 768 nautical miles and a fuel consumption of -2,382 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 04 at EGAC George Best Belfast City Airport with a score of 99.5%. The aircraft was approaching from the south west, heading 34.0° at 4 nm and 1,322 ft above ground level. The final approach was characterized by good quality, with a smooth descent and a stable airspeed. The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 135 kt, indicating a slight delay in the touchdown.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 406 m, but the touchdown speed at 132 kt was a little fast, suggesting a slight loss of control during the flare. The touchdown rate of -262 fpm was fair, indicating a moderate deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9 °C and a wind of 7 kt at 4°, contributed to a relatively calm landing environment. The crosswind was minimal at 4 kt, while the headwind of 6 kt helped to stabilize the aircraft.
The total landing distance of 1,236 m was 71% of the runway length, indicating a good utilization of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance. However, the high score of 99.5% reflects the overall proficiency of the crew and the aircraft's performance during the landing.
