Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 133 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 138 kt against a VREF of 133 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 133 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 31 kt FAST on the reference speed of 133 kt.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,330 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 398 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Piarco International Airport in Trinidad and Tobago, the Boeing 737-900 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. With a takeoff roll on runway 10, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 146 knots, covering a distance of 1,792 meters, which represented 56% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a gentle headwind of 5 knots at a direction of 90 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile east of the departure airport, rising from an initial altitude of 1,034 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 37,984 feet, an increase of 36,950 feet in 40 minutes. The climb covered a distance of 288 nautical miles, after which the aircraft entered a level cruise phase that lasted for 122 minutes and covered a further 856 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began approximately 7 miles west of Cape Santa Maria on Long Island in the Bahamas, during which the aircraft descended from 37,999 feet to 1,325 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,674 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 155 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14 at Lynden Pindling International Airport in the Bahamas was conducted from the north-west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 135.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,296 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 131 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -136 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 943 meters, representing 28% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,306 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 192 minutes and a fuel consumption of 8,707 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 14 at MYNN Lynden Pindling International Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -136 fpm, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold height was good, allowing the aircraft to maintain a safe margin above the runway surface. The threshold speed of 138 kt was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision during the final stages of the approach.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown speed of 131 kt was good, and the touchdown distance of 398 m was within the expected parameters. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25 °C and a light wind of 2 kt at 90 °, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The rollout phase was characterized by very good alignment, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. The total landing distance of 943 m, which accounted for 28% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 98.8% reflecting the crew's exceptional skill and attention to detail.
