Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 126 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 136 kt, 10 kt above the 126 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 126 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 3,438 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 500 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-700 taxied from the parking area to runway 36L at ZBAA Beijing Capital International Airport, a movement that required 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
The departure roll began on runway 36L, where the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,166 m (36 % of the runway) and lifted off at 141 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 20 °C, wind 3 kt from 110°, a 3 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt tailwind.
Climb commenced about 1 mile north-west of ZBAA, with the airplane climbing from 1,078 ft asl to 40,630 ft asl, an altitude gain of 39,552 ft achieved in 43 minutes while covering 348 nm.
Level cruise was established 13 miles south-west of ZBTL Tongliao Airport and persisted for 186 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 1,414 nm.
Descent started 102 miles south-west of UHMM Sokol Airport, descending from 40,904 ft asl to 1,839 ft asl, a loss of 39,065 ft in 16 minutes and traversing 103 nm.
The final approach to runway 10 at UHMM began from 1,334 ft agl and descended to 38 ft agl in 101 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Touchdown occurred on runway 10, whose length is 3,438 m. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 136 kt. The aircraft contacted the runway 79 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 121 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 205 fpm and very good alignment. Local conditions were temperature 10 °C, wind 3 kt from 10°, a 3 kt crosswind and no headwind.
The total landing distance measured 1,009 m, representing 29 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 1,872 nm, required 249 (as reported) and consumed 8,772 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 approached runway 10 at UHMM Sokol Airport in a stabilised configuration at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all recorded within limits. The final descent covered 1,334 ft AGL to 38 ft AGL in 101 seconds and earned full marks on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a speed slightly above target at 136 kt and achieved a good threshold height, completing the flare and touchdown preparation on runway 10.
Touchdown occurred 79 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 121 kt judged good, a touchdown rate of minus 205 fpm described as fair, and runway-touchdown alignment rated very good.
The rollout used 1,009 m of runway, representing 29 % of the available 3,438 m, and rollout alignment was very good.
Minor refinements are advised: aim to achieve the target threshold speed rather than the slightly high 136 kt, and manage the descent to obtain a more neutral touchdown rate instead of the fair minus 205 fpm.
