Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so speed is back to 145 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 160 kt against a target of 145 kt, 15 kt fast. Carrying excess speed into the gate like this usually carries straight through to a fast threshold crossing.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 145 kt by the gate and held to 145 kt at the threshold.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 17 kt FAST on the reference speed of 145 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 3,171 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 493 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 24L at KCLE Cleveland Hopkins International Airport in 7 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24L, the Boeing 737-800 accelerated through a takeoff distance of 1,430 m, representing 47 % of the runway, and lifted off at 150 kt. Ambient conditions were 18 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.
Climb commenced 1 mile north-east of Olmsted Falls, Ohio, with the aircraft ascending from 1,761 ft asl to 25,989 ft asl, a gain of 24,228 ft achieved in 12 minutes while covering 74 nm.
The first cruise segment began 24 miles north of Fairport Harbor, Ohio, and lasted 3 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 25 nm at level altitude.
Descent started 7 miles south-west of Port Stanley, Ontario, with a reduction from 26,143 ft asl to 3,555 ft asl, a loss of 22,588 ft over 26 minutes and a distance of 134 nm.
A second cruise phase was initiated 1 mile east of Richmond Hill, Ontario, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.
The next descent began overhead Concord, Ontario, descending from 2,921 ft asl to 1,874 ft asl, a decrease of 1,047 ft in 2 minutes while traveling 6 nm.
Final approach to runway 23 at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport was conducted from the north-east on a heading of 226.0°, beginning at 4 nm and 1,315 ft agl.
Landing on runway 23, which is 3,236 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 162 kt. Touchdown was recorded 154 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 150 kt, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 124 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 11.1 m from the centreline. Weather at the time was 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a cross-wind of 1 kt and a head-wind of 1 kt.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,291 m, equivalent to 40 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s path was slightly misaligned by 12.4 m from the centreline.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 4 minutes, traveling less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 252 nm, lasted 57 minutes, and consumed 2,650 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 approached runway 23 at CYYZ from the north-east on a heading of 226.0° at 4 nm and 1,315 ft agl, with temperature 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt headwind and a 1 kt cross-wind. The final approach was stabilized and the threshold height was reported as good.
At threshold the aircraft’s speed was well above target at 162 kt, indicating a higher than intended approach speed. The flare commenced from the established height and proceeded without noted deviation.
Touchdown occurred 154 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 150 kt, described as a little fast, and a smooth vertical rate of minus 124 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 11.1 m from the centreline and the total landing distance measured 1,291 m, representing 40 % of the runway length.
During rollout the aircraft remained slightly off centreline, with a measured deviation of 12.4 m from the centreline.
For future landings, reduce the approach and touchdown speeds toward the target values to improve energy management, and refine lateral control to keep the touchdown and rollout points within a tighter centreline tolerance.
