Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 179 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 39 kt fast at 218 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 179 kt in the climb
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 136 m past the target, landing at 593 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

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 2,094 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,094 m of the 3,892 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 593 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 24 at Amsterdam Schiphol (EHAM) in 4 minutes, covering approximately 1 nm on the ground.
During the departure roll on runway 24, the Boeing 737-800 accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,133 m, representing 33 % of the runway, and lifted off at 152 kt. Ambient conditions were 22 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 239°, providing a 6 kt headwind and no cross-wind component.
Climb commenced about 1 mile north-west of Aalsmeerderbrug, with the aircraft ascending from 973 ft asl to 33,010 ft asl, a gain of 32,037 ft achieved in 20 minutes while covering 153 nm.
Level cruise began roughly 1 mile south-east of Hoscheid in Luxembourg and was maintained for 18 minutes, during which the flight covered 161 nm at cruise altitude.
Descent was initiated 2 miles east of Sancey-le-Long, France, with the aircraft descending from 32,999 ft asl to 2,659 ft asl, a loss of 30,340 ft in 20 minutes and a ground distance of 112 nm.
The final approach to runway 22 at Geneva Cointrin (LSGG) was flown from the north-east on a heading of 225.0°, intercepting the approach at 4 nm and 1,256 ft agl. Local weather at the destination was 30 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 290°, giving a 1 kt headwind and a 2 kt cross-wind component.
Landing on runway 22 was executed with a threshold speed of 147 kt; touchdown occurred 182 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 141 kt and a vertical rate of minus 110 fpm. The aircraft aligned perfectly with the runway centreline, and the total landing distance measured 2,018 m, equivalent to 52 % of the runway length.
Runway rollout proceeded smoothly, with alignment remaining very good throughout the deceleration phase.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm on the taxiways.
In total, the flight covered 433 nm, required 66 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 3,334 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 entered the final approach to runway 22 at LSGG Geneva Cointrin International Airport from the north-east on a heading of 225.0° at 4 nm and 1,256 ft agl; the approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the sink rate was too high.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 147 kt, with the aircraft positioned correctly for flare.
Touchdown occurred 182 m beyond the touchdown zone; the touchdown speed was a little fast at 141 kt, the vertical rate was smooth at minus 110 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 2,018 m, representing 52 % of the 3,892 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
To convert the high sink rate into a stable approach, refine speed and pitch control to meet the 1,000 ft gate criteria, and reduce touchdown speed slightly toward the target to further improve the margin.
