Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 137 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 137 kt against a VREF of 137 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 137 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 36 kt FAST on the reference speed of 137 kt.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,733 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 295 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau, the Boeing 737-900 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. With a takeoff distance of 1,800 meters, which accounted for 54% of the available runway length, the aircraft lifted off from runway 14 at a liftoff speed of 144 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 27°C, with a negligible wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 90°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it began to ascend from an initial altitude of 941 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 38,731 feet, a vertical increase of 37,790 feet over a distance of 346 nautical miles, achieved within a 45-minute timeframe. The enroute level cruise phase commenced approximately 4 miles west of Pine Cay Airport, covering a distance of 748 nautical miles over a period of 120 minutes. Subsequently, the aircraft initiated its enroute descent from an altitude of 39,001 feet above sea level to 1,043 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,958 feet over a distance of 99 nautical miles, accomplished within a 15-minute timeframe.
Upon approaching Maurice Bishop International Airport, the Boeing 737-900 began its final approach to runway 10 from the west, maintaining a heading of 90.0° at an altitude of 999 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 2,733 meters, with a touchdown distance of 297 meters, a touchdown speed of 133 knots, and a touchdown rate of -208 feet per minute. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 29°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 100°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 6 knots. Following a perfect runway touchdown alignment and rollout alignment, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,200 nautical miles, achieved within a total flight time of 161 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 7,419 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down smoothly on runway 10 at TGPY Maurice Bishop International Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in the landing phase. The aircraft's approach quality was exceptional, with a good threshold height and speed of 137 kt, indicating a well-executed descent and configuration. The touchdown distance of 297 m was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's energy and rate of descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 133 kt, which was good, and the rate of descent was -208 fpm, a fair result considering the local weather conditions. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway, a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather, with a temperature of 29 °C and a gentle headwind of 6 kt, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 1,041 m, which accounted for 38% of the runway length, was a good result, considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with a score of 99.8%, reflecting the pilot's high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
