Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on the approach so your speed is back to 129 kt well before the stabilisation gate.
What happened: This flight was fast at the stabilisation gate, then crossed the threshold high on a shallow descent and 6 kt above VREF; carrying that extra speed through to the threshold usually carries the touchdown long, and this flight touched down 261 m past the target point.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 129 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 68 kt FAST on the reference speed of 129 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 34 kt FAST on the reference speed of 129 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,611 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,611 m of the 3,037 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 718 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Geneva Cointrin International Airport (LSGG), the Boeing 737-700 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 22, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,729-meter runway, which it covered at 48% of its length. The takeoff distance was sufficient, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 146 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Geneva, it encountered favorable local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25°C and a gentle tailwind of 2 knots. The enroute climb phase began overhead Vernier, Switzerland, where the aircraft ascended from 2,412 feet above sea level to 32,003 feet, a vertical increase of 29,591 feet, in just 11 minutes and covering a distance of 65 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a 36-minute level cruise phase, during which it covered 82 nautical miles, before commencing its descent phase. The descent from 32,077 feet to 2,539 feet took 15 minutes and covered 85 nautical miles, bringing the aircraft to the vicinity of Stuttgart Airport.
As the aircraft approached runway 07 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport from the west, it encountered a gentle headwind of 2 knots. The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on the runway at a speed of 128 knots, with a touchdown point 303 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The total landing distance was 1,531 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 247 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 5,051 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 07 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport, marking a satisfactory conclusion to the approach. The aircraft descended from 1,294 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, aligning with the heading of 74.0°. The approach quality was characterized by a slightly above-target threshold speed of 135 knots, which was achieved at an altitude of 73 feet agl, well above the target height.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 128 knots was within acceptable limits, while the touchdown rate of -248 feet per minute (fpm) was fair. The touchdown point was located 303 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. Notably, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating precise control and adherence to the centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 21°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,531 meters, accounting for 50% of the runway length, was within acceptable parameters. The runway rollout alignment was very good, showcasing the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing performance earned a score of 88.9%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
