Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 128 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 134 kt, 6 kt above the 128 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 128 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,064 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 501 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from La Aurora Airport in Guatemala City, Guatemala, began with a taxiing period of 5 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. The Boeing 737-900 then commenced its departure roll on runway 02, utilizing 1,405 meters, or 51% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 143 knots. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a gentle headwind of 3 knots from a direction of 20 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, which began approximately 1 mile north of La Aurora Airport. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from an initial altitude of 5,933 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 36,571 feet, a vertical increase of 30,638 feet, over a distance of 278 nautical miles, in 37 minutes. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 82 minutes and covered a distance of 664 nautical miles, before commencing its enroute descent phase. The descent phase, which began 12 miles southwest of Tiburon, Haiti, saw the aircraft descend from 36,865 feet to 1,380 feet above sea level, a vertical decrease of 35,485 feet, over a distance of 128 nautical miles, in 19 minutes.
The final approach to runway 10 at Toussaint Louverture International Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 87.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 134 knots, and the aircraft touched down 82 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 126 knots, with an excellent touchdown rate of -86 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 970 meters, or 32% of the runway's length, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,077 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 146 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 7,007 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 10 at MTPP Toussaint Louverture International Airport with a high degree of precision, showcasing excellent approach quality. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 1,263 ft agl to a good threshold height, aligning perfectly with the runway centerline. The threshold speed of 134 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled approach.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway surface, it touched down at a speed of 126 kt, which was good for the conditions. The touchdown point was 82 m beyond the touchdown zone, but this was not considered a significant deviation. The touchdown rate of -86 fpm was particularly impressive, demonstrating a high level of control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway.
Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out to the end of the runway, maintaining perfect alignment with the centerline. The total landing distance of 970 m was 32% of the runway length, which was within the acceptable range. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27 °C and a gentle headwind of 4 kt, contributed to a smooth and controlled rollout. Overall, the landing was considered excellent, with a score of 99.8% reflecting the high level of precision and control demonstrated by the crew.
