Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 126 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 129 kt against a VREF of 126 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 126 kt at the stabilisation gate.
See Arrival Approach
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: centreline 4.7° off, against a 1° limit and speed 79 kt FAST on the reference speed of 126 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 2.4° off, against a 1° limit and speed 25 kt FAST on the reference speed of 126 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 2,836 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 323 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-600 taxied from the parking area to runway 27 at KMCI, a movement that lasted 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 27, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 848 m, representing 29 % of the runway, and lifted off at 134 kt. Ambient conditions were 29 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 210°, including a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead KMCI, climbing from 1,999 ft ASL to 39,676 ft ASL, an altitude gain of 37,677 ft achieved in 47 minutes while covering 337 nm.
Level cruise began 4 mi south of SN02 Wright International Airport in Kansas and continued for 59 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 441 nm.
Descent was initiated 12 mi east of KLOA Loa Airport, descending from 39,882 ft ASL to 4,028 ft ASL, a loss of 35,854 ft in 17 minutes over a distance of 118 nm.
The final approach to runway 19 at KSGU was flown from the northeast on a heading of 217.0° at 4 nm and 1,184 ft AGL.
Touchdown occurred on runway 19, whose length is 2,825 m and which featured a good threshold height, with a threshold speed recorded slightly above target at 130 kt. The aircraft touched down 319 m from the threshold at a speed of 123 kt, a touchdown rate of minus 219 fpm, and alignment described as very good. Local temperature at the time was 32 °C.
The total landing distance measured 859 m, representing 30 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was noted as very good.
After rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 902 nm, lasted 128 minutes, and consumed 5,952 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 entered the final approach to runway 19 at KSGU St George Regional Airport from the north-east on a heading of 217.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,184 ft agl; the approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the sink rate was too high.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a speed of 130 kt, slightly above the target, and the threshold height was good, providing an appropriate flare point for the landing.
Touchdown occurred 319 m down the runway, a good distance, with a speed of 123 kt that was a little fast and a vertical rate of -219 fpm rated fair; runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 859 m, representing 30 % of the 2,825 m runway, and rollout alignment remained very good throughout the deceleration phase.
With a final score of 99.6 %, the primary refinements are to achieve a stabilized approach by moderating the sink rate and to trim the touchdown speed closer to the target, which will further improve the already excellent performance.
