Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 136 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 136 kt against a VREF of 136 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 136 kt at the stabilisation gate.
See Arrival Approach
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 31 kt FAST on the reference speed of 136 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 3,139 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 666 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Tbilisi International Airport (UGTB), the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 31L, it was cleared for departure, and with a liftoff speed of 150 knots, it successfully took off, covering a distance of 1,147 meters, which was 38% of the runway length.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it passed overhead Tbilisi International Airport, marking the beginning of its enroute climb phase. The aircraft continued to ascend, reaching a maximum altitude of 37,491 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,964 feet in just 26 minutes, covering a distance of 195 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase followed, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude of 37,491 feet for 44 minutes, covering a distance of 324 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time reaching an altitude of 38,968 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,646 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles. The final enroute level cruise phase lasted 58 minutes, covering a distance of 415 nautical miles.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started from an altitude of 39,915 feet above sea level, decreasing to 1,810 feet above sea level in 41 minutes, covering a distance of 258 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 11 at Dubrovnik Ruđer Bošković Airport (LDDU) was executed from the north-west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 118.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,295 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed safely on the runway, with a touchdown point 258 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and a touchdown speed of 127 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The total landing distance was 1,240 meters, which was 39% of the runway length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing its journey of 1,223 nautical miles in 178 minutes, using a total of 8,156 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 11 at LDDU Dubrovnik Ruđer Bošković Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, maintaining a steady heading of 118.0° from a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,295 feet above ground level. The aircraft's descent was well-managed, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 137 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 127 knots, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute was also satisfactory. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The touchdown point was 258 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots from 320°, contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,240 meters was 39% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 97.1%. The slight deviation in threshold speed and the touchdown point being beyond the touchdown zone were the only notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
