Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so speed is back to 125 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 133 kt against a target of 125 kt, 8 kt fast. Carrying excess speed into the gate like this usually carries straight through to a fast threshold crossing.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 125 kt by the gate and held to 125 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 39 kt FAST on the reference speed of 125 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 26 kt FAST on the reference speed of 125 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 3,287 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 476 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 17 at LPPR Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport, a movement that lasted 5 minutes and covered approximately 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 17, the Boeing 737-800 accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,299 m, representing 41 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 143 kt. Ambient conditions were 26 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 230°, including a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead LPPR, with the aircraft ascending from 1,201 ft asl to 38,548 ft asl, a gain of 37,348 ft achieved in 40 minutes while covering 314 nm.
The level cruise segment began at latitude 45.1878682 and longitude -5.1050223, persisting for 116 minutes and traversing 926 nm.
Descent was initiated 3 miles north-west of Hornslet, Denmark, descending from 39,012 ft asl to 1,795 ft asl, a loss of 37,217 ft in 16 minutes and covering 141 nm.
Final approach to runway 21 at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport was conducted from the north-east on a heading of 206.0°, intercepting the approach at 4 nm and 1,295 ft agl.
Landing on runway 21, whose total length is 3,288 m, occurred with a threshold speed of 133 kt, above the target. Touchdown was recorded 58 m beyond the touchdown zone at 119 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 76 fpm and perfect alignment. Local weather reported 23 °C, wind 4 kt from 210°, zero cross-wind and a 4 kt head-wind. The total landing distance measured 1,002 m, equivalent to 30 % of the runway.
Runway rollout proceeded with perfect alignment, confirming the aircraft remained on centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,389 nm, required 180 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 7,540 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 21 at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport was flown from the north-east on a heading of 206.0° at 4 NM and 1,295 ft AGL, with a temperature of 23 °C, a headwind component of 4 kt from 210°, and no cross-wind; the threshold height was reported as good.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft established a threshold speed of 133 kt, which was noted as well above target, and the flare was executed with the previously observed good threshold height.
Touchdown occurred 58 m beyond the designated touchdown zone; the aircraft’s speed at touchdown was 119 kt, described as a little fast, while the vertical rate was excellent at minus 76 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,002 m, representing 30 % of the 3,288 m runway, and the runway rollout alignment remained perfect throughout.
For future landings, reduce the approach and touchdown speeds to meet the target values and aim to place the main gear within the touchdown zone to minimise the 58 m overshoot, while maintaining the already excellent alignment and vertical control.
