Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed back to 125 kt well before the gate.
What happened: Approach was fast through the stabilisation gate, and the threshold was crossed at 134 kt against the 125 kt target. Carrying that extra speed in usually carries the touchdown long, which it did here at 550 m against the 457 m target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 125 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 500 ft gate: speed 18 kt FAST on the reference speed of 125 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 2,741 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 550 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport in San Salvador, El Salvador, began with a taxiing period of 5 minutes, covering 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. The Boeing 737-600 then took off from runway 07, utilizing 1,616 meters, or 51% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 134 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 25°C, with a light wind of 2 knots from 339 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it traversed a distance of 289 nautical miles, increasing its altitude by 39,733 feet over a period of 38 minutes. The climb phase concluded overhead the Alamicamba Airport in Nicaragua, where the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise. This phase lasted for 72 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 606 nautical miles. Following a brief descent phase, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time lasting only 3 minutes, as it approached its destination. The final approach to runway 11 at Queen Beatrix International Airport in Aruba was executed from the west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 104.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,262 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 11 was successful, with the aircraft touching down 126 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 117 knots. The touchdown rate of -84 feet per minute was excellent, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance of 952 meters, or 35% of the runway, was well within acceptable limits. Following a taxiing period of 1 minute, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, concluding a flight that had covered a total distance of 1,121 nautical miles, utilizing 6,344 kilograms of fuel over a period of 148 minutes.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 11 at TNCA Queen Beatrix International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, characterized by a stable and controlled descent. The aircraft was established on the localizer at 4 nm from the threshold, at an altitude of 1,262 ft agl and heading 104.0°. The approach was conducted in a 3 nm radius, with the aircraft maintaining a steady rate of descent and aligning itself with the runway centerline.
As the aircraft touched down 126 m beyond the touchdown zone, the threshold speed of 134 kt was significantly above the target value, indicating a high degree of control and precision. The touchdown speed of 117 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -84 fpm was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 29 °C and a wind of 10 kt at 120°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 952 m was 35% of the runway length, indicating a good balance between speed and control. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 98.5%, reflecting a high degree of proficiency and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
