Flight Score
Arrival
Add power earlier on final to hold VREF of 140 kt by the gates rather than let speed decay.
What happened: The approach was flown too slow through the stabilisation gates, crossing the threshold at 133 kt against a VREF of 140 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 140 kt from the first stabilisation gate onward.
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 7 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 140 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,036 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,036 ft of the 11,416 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,609 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 23 at LMML Malta International Airport in 10 minutes, covering 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23 the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 3,947 ft (50 % of the runway) and lifted off at 145 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 83 °F, wind 5 kt from 29°, a 2 kt crosswind and a 5 kt tailwind.
Climb began overhead Qrendi, Malta, with the airplane ascending from 1,243 ft asl to 37,990 ft asl, an increase of 36,747 ft achieved in 21 minutes while covering 132 nm.
Level cruise was established 6 miles south of Marinella, Italy, and persisted for 54 minutes, during which 428 nm were flown.
Descent started 80 miles north-east of Es Castell, Spain, descending from 38,000 ft asl to 1,288 ft asl, a loss of 36,712 ft in 23 minutes and covering 140 nm.
The final approach to runway 24R at LEBL Barcelona-El Prat Airport was flown from the north-east on a heading of 246.0°, at 4 nm and 1,266 ft agl.
Touchdown occurred on runway 24R, which is 11,416 ft long, with a threshold speed of 134 kt and a touchdown speed of 124 kt. The aircraft contacted the runway 246 ft beyond the touchdown zone, with a vertical speed of minus 193 fpm. Local weather reported a temperature of 81 °F, wind 5 kt from 30°, a 3 kt crosswind and a 4 kt tailwind. The total landing distance measured 5,773 ft, representing 51 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect as the aircraft decelerated to a stop.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 708 nm, required 111 (as reported), and consumed 10,058 lbs of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 completed the final approach to runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport from the north-east, tracking a heading of 246.0° at 4 nm and 1,266 ft agl, with local temperature 81 °F, wind 5 kt from 30°, a 3 kt crosswind component and a 4 kt tailwind component.
At threshold the aircraft displayed a good threshold height and established the required threshold speed of 134 kt, both noted as good.
Touchdown occurred 246 ft beyond the designated touchdown zone; the aircraft’s speed at touchdown was 124 kt, rated good, and the vertical rate was -193 fpm, also good, while runway touchdown alignment was described as very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 5,773 ft, representing 51 % of the 11,416 ft runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
To refine an already excellent performance, aim to reduce the touchdown point distance so the aircraft lands within the touchdown zone, which will further optimise runway usage.
