Flight Score
Departure
Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 140 kt, not after it.
What happened: You started the rotation at 165 kt, 25 kt past the 140 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 140 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed back to 130 kt well before the gate.
What happened: Approach was fast through the stabilisation gate, and the threshold was crossed at 149 kt against the 130 kt target. Carrying that extra speed in usually carries the touchdown long, which it did here at 614 m against the 457 m target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 130 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 1,000 ft gate: centreline 7.3° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 38 kt FAST on the reference speed of 130 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 2,620 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 614 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 707-320 taxied from the parking area to runway 23L at EGCC Manchester Airport in 11 minutes, covering 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23L the aircraft accelerated for a takeoff distance of 1,611 m, which represented 56 % of the runway length, and rotated at 165 kt. Local weather was 17 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 080°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt tail-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead Mobberley (Cheshire East, England), rising from 1,149 ft asl to 27,030 ft asl - an increase of 25,881 ft - in 15 minutes while covering 91 nm.
The first cruise segment began 21 nm west of Holyhead (Anglesey, Wales) and lasted 2 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 6 nm.
Descent began 4 nm west of Henllan (Denbighshire, Wales), descending from 27,233 ft asl to 3,516 ft asl - a loss of 23,717 ft - in 11 minutes and covering 59 nm.
A subsequent descent started 24 nm east of Howth (Leinster, Ireland), dropping from 3,693 ft asl to 3,202 ft asl - a decrease of 492 ft - in 2 minutes while covering 5 nm.
The second cruise segment originated 18 nm east of Howth and lasted 3 minutes, during which 12 nm were flown.
The final descent of the en-route phase began 6 nm east of Howth,
