Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 134 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 142 kt, 8 kt above the 134 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 134 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,998 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 459 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from RKPK Gimhae International Airport in Busan, South Korea, the Boeing 737-900 began its journey with a taxiing period of 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. As it rolled down runway 18R, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 150 knots, achieving lift-off within 1,282 meters, or 40% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 28°C, with a gentle headwind of 3 knots and a crosswind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it traversed a distance of 213 nautical miles, increasing its altitude by 36,999 feet in 32 minutes. The climb phase concluded at 37,997 feet above sea level, marking the beginning of the enroute level cruise. This phase lasted for 138 minutes, covering a distance of 914 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its descent, reducing its altitude by 34,951 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 103 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise near VMMC Macau International Airport, the aircraft began its final descent, touching down on runway 34 with a touchdown speed of 135 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -146 feet per minute.
The landing distance of 1,061 meters, or 40% of the runway's length, was slightly above the optimal threshold speed of 142 knots. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. Following a taxiing period of 2 minutes, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having covered a total distance of 1,273 nautical miles and consuming 10,015 kilograms of fuel. The flight duration was 204 minutes, with the aircraft experiencing a range of weather conditions, including temperatures of 28°C and gentle winds.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 34 at VMMC Macau International Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -146 fpm, indicating a well-executed landing. The threshold height was good, allowing the aircraft to maintain a stable approach profile. The threshold speed of 142 kt was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision from the flight crew.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it was noted that the touchdown speed of 135 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown point was still 46 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is within the acceptable range. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was centered on the runway and aligned with the centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a gentle tailwind of 3 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,061 m, which accounts for 40% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining a straight course down the runway. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, resulting in a score of 99.3%.
