Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 121 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 120 kt against a VREF of 121 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 121 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: speed 51 kt FAST on the reference speed of 121 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 19 kt FAST on the reference speed of 121 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 4,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 446 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 16 at LGTS Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport; the taxi-out phase lasted 4 minutes and covered 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 16, traveling 839 m (34 % of the runway) before liftoff at 135 kt. Local weather was temperature 23 °C, wind 1 kt from 0°, with a 0 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
Climb began overhead LGTS Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport, rising from 1,014 ft asl to 40,995 ft asl - a gain of 39,980 ft - in 42 minutes while covering 327 nm.
Level cruise started 2 miles south of Symi (South Aegean, Greece) and continued for 148 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 1,185 nm.
Descent was initiated 7 miles south of OEMU Mulayjah Airport (Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia), descending from 41,008 ft asl to 1,380 ft asl - a loss of 39,628 ft - over 20 minutes and 132 nm.
The final approach to runway 34L at OEDF King Fahd International Airport was flown from the south on a heading of 345.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,305 ft agl.
The Boeing 737-600 landed on runway 34L, which is 4,006 m long; the threshold speed was 120 kt and touchdown occurred at 110 kt after a distance of 447 m. Touchdown rate was minus 152 fpm and the touchdown point was 3.4 m off the centreline. Local weather reported temperature 49 °C, wind 9 kt from 0°, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 9 kt headwind.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the total landing distance recorded was 881 m, representing 22 % of the runway.
After rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area; this taxi-in took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,650 nm, required 218 minutes of flight time, and consumed 8,692 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 commenced its final approach to runway 34L at OEDF King Fahd International Airport from the south on a heading of 345.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,305 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable because the sink rate was too high.
The threshold height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 120 kt, indicating that the aircraft was correctly configured for landing.
Touchdown occurred 447 m down the runway at a speed of 110 kt, both rated as good, with a vertical rate of minus 152 fpm also rated as good. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.4 m from the centreline.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 881 m, representing 22 % of the 4,006 m runway, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
With a final score of 99.8 %, the primary refinements are to achieve a stabilized approach by moderating the sink rate before the 1,000 ft gate and to fine-tune lateral alignment to reduce the 3.4 m centreline offset. Maintaining these adjustments will help preserve the high overall performance.
