Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 122 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 127 kt against a VREF of 122 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 122 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 37 kt FAST on the reference speed of 122 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 2,739 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 426 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 10L at KBOI Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field in a duration of 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 10L, the Boeing 737-700 accelerated through a takeoff distance of 1,056 m, representing 35 % of the runway, and lifted off at 138 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 15 °C, wind 4 kt from 130°, with a 1 kt crosswind component and a 4 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead KBOI, with the aircraft ascending from 3,832 ft asl to 40,948 ft asl, an altitude gain of 37,116 ft achieved in 46 minutes while covering 369 nm.
Level cruise began 26 miles southwest of Wamsutter, Wyoming, and persisted for 135 minutes, during which 1,150 nm were flown.
Descent started 1 mile south of Ivalee, Alabama, with the aircraft descending from 40,821 ft asl to 2,316 ft asl, a loss of 38,505 ft in 13 minutes over a distance of 85 nm.
The final approach to runway 08L at KATL Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport involved a descent from 1,352 ft agl to 42 ft agl in 94 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 08L was executed with a runway length of 2,739 m; the threshold speed was 128 kt. Touchdown occurred 427 m down the runway at a speed of 120 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 168 fpm and perfect alignment. Local weather reported a temperature of 23 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, no crosswind, and a 1 kt tailwind. The total landing distance recorded was 929 m, equivalent to 34 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was noted as perfect.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,611 nm, required 199 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 7,907 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 conducted the final approach to runway 08L at KATL, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and the approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate, being more than 20 kt above VREF. The aircraft descended from 1,352 ft agl to 42 ft agl in 94 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
At the threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 128 kt.
Touchdown occurred 427 m down the runway; the touchdown speed was 120 kt, noted as a little fast, and the vertical rate was good at minus 168 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect, the total landing distance was 929 m, representing 34 % of the runway, and the local weather was 23 °C with wind 2 kt from 270°, crosswind 0 kt and tailwind 1 kt.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect.
With a score of 98.0 % the landing was excellent; reducing final-approach speed to remain within VREF will tighten the approach stability, and maintaining that speed will further optimise touchdown performance.
