Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 123 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 126 kt against a VREF of 123 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 123 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 46 kt FAST on the reference speed of 123 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 3,975 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 486 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-700 taxied from the parking area to runway 06 at KRSW Southwest Florida International Airport in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 06, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 137 kt and lifted off after using 1,853 m, which represented 51 % of the runway length; the local weather was 27 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 160°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt tailwind.
Climb commenced overhead KRSW, with the airplane climbing from 999 ft asl to 39,476 ft asl, an increase of 38,477 ft achieved in 40 minutes while covering 301 nm.
Level cruise began at latitude 24.9267348 and longitude -86.8946571, lasting 83 minutes and encompassing 618 nm of flight.
Descent started 8 mi southeast of Tecolutla, Mexico, descending from 39,662 ft asl to 8,654 ft asl, a loss of 31,008 ft in 19 minutes and traversing 132 nm.
The final approach to runway 23L at MMMX Benito Juárez International Airport was flown from the northeast on a heading of 239.0°, intercepting the approach at 4 nm and 1,300 ft agl.
Landing on runway 23L, which is 3,975 m long, was executed with a threshold speed of 126 kt; touchdown occurred 73 m beyond the touchdown zone at 117 kt and a descent rate of minus 166 fpm, with perfect runway-touchdown alignment.
Runway rollout covered a distance of 1,017 m, representing 26 % of the runway, and the aircraft maintained perfect alignment throughout the rollout.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, traveling less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,058 nm, took 149 minutes, and consumed 6,250 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 entered the final approach to runway 23L at MMMX Benito Juárez International Airport from the north-east on a heading of 239.0° at 4 nm and 1,300 ft AGL. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the aircraft displayed a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 126 kt, both recorded as good.
Touchdown occurred 73 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 117 kt, a touchdown rate of minus 166 fpm and perfect runway touchdown alignment.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,017 m, representing 26 % of the 3,975 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
With a final score of 99.6 % the landing was excellent; a minor refinement would be to aim for a touchdown point closer to the designated zone to further reduce rollout distance while preserving the current speed and alignment performance.
