Flight Score
Arrival
Add power earlier on final to hold VREF of 147 kt by the gates rather than let speed decay.
What happened: The approach was flown too slow through the stabilisation gates, crossing the threshold at 141 kt against a VREF of 147 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 147 kt from the first stabilisation gate onward.
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 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 147 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 5 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 147 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,435 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,885 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from London Stansted Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 04, the crew initiated the departure roll, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 155 knots. The takeoff distance of 5,104 feet was 57% of the runway length, a testament to the aircraft's efficient performance in the hot and relatively calm conditions, with a temperature of 112°F and winds of 7 knots at 153°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south east of Elsenham, Essex. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 1,379 feet above sea level to 35,998 feet, an increase of 34,619 feet in just 32 minutes, covering a distance of 216 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 49 minutes and covered 404 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a descent phase, which began overhead Taramundi, Spain, and saw the aircraft descend from 35,975 feet to 1,317 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 150 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport, it began its final approach to runway 17 from the north. The approach was made in good conditions, with a temperature of 107°F and winds of 7 knots at 153°. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 131 knots, with a touchdown rate of -50 feet per minute, and a touchdown point 522 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The total landing distance of 4,036 feet was 39% of the runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 779 nautical miles, and the flight used 11,958 pounds of fuel, with a total flight time of 123 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 17 at LPPR Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport with a high degree of precision, showcasing a well-executed approach. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 1,119 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold, aligning itself with the runway heading of 169.0°. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 141 knots, indicating a well-controlled descent.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway surface, it touched down at a speed of 131 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 522 feet beyond the touchdown zone, but this was not considered a significant deviation. The touchdown rate of -50 feet per minute was perfect, demonstrating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 107°F and a headwind of 7 knots, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The Boeing 737-800 continued to roll out on the runway, maintaining perfect alignment with the centerline. The total landing distance of 4,036 feet was 39% of the runway length, which was within the acceptable range. The overall performance of the aircraft was impressive, with a score of 98.7% indicating a high level of proficiency. The landing was a testament to the crew's skill and experience, and it demonstrated a high degree of control and precision throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
