Flight Score
Arrival
Add power earlier on final to hold VREF of 141 kt by the gates rather than let speed decay.
What happened: The approach was flown too slow through the stabilisation gates, crossing the threshold at 135 kt against a VREF of 141 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 141 kt from the first stabilisation gate onward.
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 500 ft gate: speed 5 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 141 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,031 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,031 ft of the 8,990 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,223 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 10L at KORD, covering 2 nm in 12 minutes.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 10L at KORD, using 3,744 ft (29 % of the runway) and lifted off at 152 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 34 °F, wind 5 kt from 30°, a 4 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
Climb began overhead KORD, rising from 1,634 ft asl to 36,004 ft asl - an increase of 34,370 ft - in 18 minutes while covering 113 nm.
The first cruise segment started 2 mi southwest of Mahomet, Illinois, and lasted 76 minutes, during which 582 nm were flown.
Descent commenced 6 mi north of KLES Peason Landing Strip, Leesville, Louisiana, descending from 36,000 ft asl to 24,737 ft asl - a loss of 11,262 ft - in 5 minutes over 40 nm.
A second cruise began 4 mi southwest of 4XS5 Scrappin Valley Airport, Wiergate, Texas, lasting 42 minutes and covering less than 1 nm.
The following descent started again 4 mi southwest of 4XS5, dropping from 24,737 ft asl to 6,004 ft asl - a decrease of 18,733 ft - in 14 minutes while traveling 76 nm.
A brief cruise segment originated 1 mi north of Ames, Texas, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
The final descent began 3 mi south of Liberty, Texas, descending from 5,608 ft asl to 1,373 ft asl - a loss of 4,235 ft - in 7 minutes and covering 23 nm.
On final approach to runway 26R at KIAH, the aircraft approached from the east, heading 270.0°, at 4 nm and 1,271 ft agl.
The aircraft landed on runway 26R at KIAH, whose length is 8,990 ft; the threshold speed was 136 kt and the threshold height was reported as good.
Touchdown occurred 1,231 ft down the runway at a speed of 130 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 248 fpm and perfect alignment. The total landing distance was 4,770 ft, representing 53 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
After rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering 2 nm in 8 minutes.
Overall, the flight covered 849 nm in 144 minutes and used 12,082 lbs of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 established final approach to runway 26R at KIAH from the east, tracking a heading of 270.0° at 4 nm and 1,271 ft agl. Local conditions were 37 °F with wind 5 kt from 30°, a 4 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt tailwind component; the runway length was 8,990 ft.
Threshold height was good and the aircraft maintained a threshold speed that was good at 136 kt during the flare.
Touchdown occurred 1,231 ft down the runway at a speed that was good at 130 kt; the vertical rate was fair at minus 248 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 4,770 ft, representing 53 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
Maintain a flatter vertical profile at touchdown to reduce the minus 248 fpm rate toward zero, and the overall performance reflected the 99.7 % score.
