Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so speed is back to 127 kt before the gate, not after it.
What happened: Speed control was already loose at the stabilisation gate, and this flight crossed the threshold at 135 kt against a target of 127 kt, 8 kt fast. Carrying excess speed into the gate like this usually carries straight through to a fast threshold crossing.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 127 kt by the gate and held to 127 kt at the threshold.
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 51 kt FAST on the reference speed of 127 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 17 kt FAST on the reference speed of 127 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,783 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,783 m of the 3,981 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 333 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Frankfurt Airport, the Boeing 737-700 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 18, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 1,590 meters, or 40% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 142 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 22°C, with a gentle wind of 2 knots at 130°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component and a slight headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from Frankfurt, it began its enroute climb approximately 2 miles west of Moerfelden-Walldorf, Germany. Over the course of 7 minutes, the aircraft ascended from 1,293 feet above sea level to 22,962 feet, a vertical gain of 21,669 feet, while covering a distance of 38 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 11 minutes and spanned 72 nautical miles, 3 miles south-east of Miltenberg, Bavaria. The enroute descent phase commenced 1 mile north-east of Huisheim, Bavaria, where the aircraft descended from 22,989 feet to 2,783 feet, a decrease of 20,206 feet, in 16 minutes, covering 79 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Munich Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 26R from the east, aligning itself with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,298 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target value of 135 knots, resulting in a touchdown distance of 338 meters, or 43% of the runway's length. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly faster than optimal, while the touchdown rate of -492 feet per minute was somewhat hard. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment remained so throughout the taxiing process, which took 4 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 198 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 45 minutes and a fuel consumption of 1,683 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 26R at EDDM Munich Airport with a score of 96.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 263.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,298 feet above ground level. The approach quality was good, with a smooth descent into the threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 135 knots, indicating a slight over-rotation.
The touchdown characteristics were notable, with a touchdown distance of 338 meters, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was fast, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -492 feet per minute. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating precise control during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14°C and a gentle tailwind of 1 knot, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 1,710 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control during the critical phases of the landing. Overall, the landing was executed well, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a safe and controlled manner.
