Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 118 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 118 kt against a VREF of 118 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 118 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 118 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 3,496 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 403 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Zürich Airport (LSZH), the aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of approximately 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 28, it was cleared for departure, and the takeoff roll commenced. The aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 137 knots, having covered a distance of 1,793 meters, which represented 72% of the available runway length.
As the aircraft climbed away from Zürich, it encountered a local temperature of 30°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 39°. The crosswind component was minimal, with a tailwind of 1 knot also present. The enroute climb phase began overhead Hofstetten, Switzerland, where the aircraft started its ascent from an altitude of 2,475 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 30,994 feet. This climb phase covered a distance of 122 nautical miles and took 22 minutes to complete. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 20 minutes and covered a further 133 nautical miles.
As the aircraft began its descent into Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (LFBO), it encountered a local temperature of 34°C and a wind of 4 knots from a direction of 330°. The aircraft descended from a cruising altitude of 31,001 feet to a touchdown altitude of 1,805 feet, covering a distance of 151 nautical miles in the process. The final approach to runway 32L was made from the southeast, with the aircraft aligning perfectly with the runway centerline. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down 67 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 108 knots. The total landing distance was 1,014 meters, representing 29% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of approximately 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 416 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 2,686 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which took a total of 82 minutes to complete.
The aircraft touched down on runway 32L at LFBO Toulouse-Blagnac Airport with a satisfactory threshold height of 56 ft agl, slightly above the target. The threshold speed of 119 kt was within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, touching down at a speed of 108 kt, which was good, and a touchdown rate of -152 fpm, also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown point was located 67 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 34 °C and a headwind of 3 kt, did not significantly impact the landing. The aircraft's performance was further highlighted by a total landing distance of 1,014 m, which accounted for 29% of the runway length.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The overall performance of the aircraft earned a score of 98.7%, reflecting the high standard of the landing. The crew's ability to navigate the aircraft through the approach and touchdown phases with precision and control was evident in the smooth and efficient rollout.
