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 137 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 39 kt FAST on the reference speed of 133 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 3,184 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 470 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from José Martí International Airport, the Boeing 737-900 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As it reached the runway threshold, the aircraft initiated its departure roll on runway 06, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 151 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,686 meters accounted for 42% of the runway length, with a headwind of 4 knots contributing to the aircraft's performance.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it passed overhead Boyeros, Cuba, and continued its ascent to 36,994 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,798 feet in 25 minutes. The enroute climb covered a distance of 191 nautical miles. Following a 138-minute cruise at a steady altitude, the aircraft began its descent from 36,922 feet above sea level to 1,320 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,602 feet in 18 minutes. The descent phase covered 127 nautical miles, and the aircraft eventually entered the final approach phase to runway 10 at Piarco International Airport.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 10 at Piarco International Airport, with a touchdown point 54 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -116 feet per minute was smooth. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. Following a taxiing time of 1 minute and a distance of less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 1,473 nautical miles in 190 minutes. The flight utilized 9,169 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-900 successfully completed a flawless landing on runway 10 at TTPP Piarco International Airport. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, aligning with the 90.0° heading at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 137 knots, well within the acceptable range.
As the aircraft touched down, it demonstrated a smooth touchdown rate of -116 feet per minute, with a speed of 129 knots. The touchdown point was 54 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but still within the acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a high degree of pilot skill and control. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25°C, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The aircraft's rollout was equally impressive, with perfect alignment along the centerline. The total landing distance of 996 meters was just 31% of the runway length, demonstrating a high degree of precision and control. Overall, the landing was scored 100.0%, reflecting the exceptional performance of the pilot and the aircraft.
