Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so the speed settles to 123 kt before the gate.
What happened: The approach was 19 kt fast at the stabilisation gate, and carrying that extra speed over the threshold usually carries the touchdown long, which happened here by 223 m.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 123 kt at the threshold.
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 500 ft gate: speed 18.8 kt FAST on the reference speed of 123 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 3,108 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 680 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-600 departed KLAS Harry Reid International Airport on runway 26R. The take-off roll was 2,191 m, using 54 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 131 kt. Local weather was 18 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 209°, giving a 2 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 21 seconds, averaging 2,272 fpm and reaching 181 kt at the top of the segment. The aircraft then climbed from 3,125 ft asl to 40,684 ft asl in 39 minutes, covering 311 nm, beginning about 1 mile south-west of Paradise. Cruise continued at 40,300 ft asl for 265 minutes, covering 2,296 nm, starting 4 miles east of UT68 Caveman Ranch Airport, Moab.
Descent began at 39,663 ft asl and proceeded to 1,723 ft asl in 18 minutes, covering 129 nm, with the segment starting 35 miles north-east of CDA9 Couteau Bay. The final approach to runway 03 at CYQX Gander International Airport started from 1,314 ft agl and descended to 45 ft agl in 90 seconds.
Stabilisation checks were performed at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. Gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and wings level were met; speed was not met at one gate. The landing gear was lowered at 3,872 ft agl while the aircraft was at 260 kt. The final flap position (flap 8) was selected at 1,302 ft agl with a speed of 147 kt.
Landing on runway 03 was completed with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 137 kt. The flare was described as excellent; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 260 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 122 kt, a little fast, with a descent rate of minus 153 fpm and very good runway-touchdown alignment. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,009 m, 32 % of the 3,108 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
Local weather at CYQX was 7 °C with wind 10 kt from 205°, giving a 3 kt crosswind and a 10 kt tailwind. After landing, the aircraft taxied to parking in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
The flight covered a total of 2,743 nm in 330 minutes and used 12,926 kg of fuel.
