Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 121 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 121 kt against a VREF of 121 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 121 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 31 kt FAST on the reference speed of 121 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 2,161 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 413 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport, TFFF, began with a taxiing phase that lasted 5 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. The Boeing 737-600 then proceeded to runway 10, where it initiated the departure roll. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 141 knots, utilizing 35% of the 952-meter runway. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 30°C, with a 7-knot headwind from a direction of 80°.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it traversed a distance of 277 nautical miles in 38 minutes, increasing its altitude by 38,798 feet. The climb phase concluded overhead Fort-de-France, Martinique. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 166 minutes and covered 1,236 nautical miles. This phase began 27 miles southeast of Christiansted Harbor Seaplane Base, VI32. Following a brief descent phase, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time lasting 5 minutes and covering 21 nautical miles, as it approached its destination.
The final approach to runway 07 at Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport, MZBZ, was initiated from the west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 77.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,266 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above target at 121 knots, and a touchdown distance of 414 meters, which was 34% of the 2,161-meter runway. The touchdown speed of 112 knots and touchdown rate of -157 feet per minute were both within acceptable limits. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding the flight that had covered a total distance of 1,681 nautical miles and utilized 9,593 kilograms of fuel. The entire flight duration was 236 minutes.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 07 at MZBZ Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 77.0° at 4 nm and 1,266 ft above ground level. The aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 118 kt, reaching 121 kt as it touched down on the runway.
The touchdown characteristics were satisfactory, with a speed of 112 kt and a descent rate of -157 fpm. The aircraft's alignment with the runway centreline was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the approach. The touchdown distance of 414 m was within acceptable limits, and the aircraft's rollout was smooth and well-aligned with the runway centreline.
The overall performance of the landing was excellent, with a total landing distance of 744 m, which represented 34% of the runway length. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 30 °C and a light headwind of 2 kt, contributed to a stable and controlled approach. The crew's skill and experience were evident in the high-quality approach and landing, resulting in a score of 99.5%.
