Flight Score
Arrival
Steepen the descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft, correcting the height error before it carries into speed and touchdown point.
What happened: Crossed the threshold 30 ft agl above the target, carrying excess speed over the numbers; crossing high and fast like this usually carries the touchdown long too, and this flight touched down 1,492 ft beyond the aim point.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: 50 ft at the threshold.
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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 6,940 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,940 ft of the 10,968 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,992 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Chicago O'Hare International Airport, the Boeing 737-700 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 27L, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 5,432-foot runway, which represented 49% of its length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 159 knots, overcoming a headwind of 5 knots and a crosswind of 8 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile north of Bensenville, Illinois. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 1,667 feet above sea level to 39,009 feet, an increase of 37,343 feet in just 17 minutes, covering a distance of 121 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 14 minutes and covered 119 nautical miles, as it flew overhead the Larry D. Boven Airport in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The enroute descent phase began 2 miles southeast of the Selfridge Air National Guard Base Airport in Mount Clemens, Michigan, and saw the aircraft descend from 38,999 feet to 1,879 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 152 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 05, flying from the southwest at a heading of 47.0 degrees. The aircraft touched down 1,481 feet beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 132 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -248 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following a total landing distance of 6,529 feet, which represented 62% of the runway length, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 403 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 6,050 pounds of fuel during the flight, which lasted 87 minutes.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 05 at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport with a score of 86.1%. The aircraft was approaching from the southwest, heading 47.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,321 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height significantly above the target at 80 feet above ground level. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 141 knots.
The aircraft touched down 1,481 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 132 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -248 feet per minute. Notably, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing. The local weather conditions were moderate, with a temperature of 61°F and a wind of 12 knots at 340°, resulting in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 6,529 feet, which accounted for 62% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating a smooth and controlled deceleration after touchdown. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the target parameters.
