Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 153 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 139 kt against a VREF of 153 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 153 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: sink rate 1,830 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and speed 59 kt FAST on the reference speed of 153 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 34 kt FAST on the reference speed of 153 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 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 275 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Brussels Airport, the Boeing 777-300 initiated its takeoff roll on runway 25R, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 170 kt. The aircraft utilized 50% of the 3,000-meter runway, achieving a takeoff distance of 1,526 meters. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 17 °C, with a gentle headwind of 2 kt and a crosswind of 1 kt.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it traversed a distance of 112 nm, increasing its altitude by 32,630 ft in 19 minutes. The climb phase commenced overhead Diegem, Flanders, Belgium, and concluded at an altitude of 33,995 ft. Subsequent enroute level cruises were initiated at various points, including 1 mile north east of Morienval, Hauts-de-France, France, and 2 miles north east of Siguenza, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. The aircraft's fuel efficiency was notable, with a total fuel consumption of 17,692 kg.
Upon approaching Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport, the Boeing 777-300 initiated its final descent, touching down on runway 32R with a touchdown speed of 132 kt and a touchdown distance of 289 meters. The aircraft's touchdown rate was fair at -242 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding its journey with a total flight distance of 752 nm and a flight time of 109 minutes.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 32R at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport with a threshold speed of 140 kt, slightly below the target. The aircraft maintained a good touchdown speed of 132 kt, resulting in a touchdown distance of 289 m, well within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate of -242 fpm was only fair, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal rate.
The aircraft's approach quality was good, with a stable and controlled descent from 1,641 ft agl at 4 nm from the runway. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition to the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a stable approach. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.1 m, which was a minor deviation.
The Boeing 777-300 rolled out on the runway with a total distance of 1,110 m, accounting for 37% of the runway length. Although the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 11.4 m, the overall performance was satisfactory. The landing score of 95.6% reflects a good overall performance, with minor deviations in touchdown rate and runway alignment.
