Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed back to 139 kt well before the gate.
What happened: Approach was fast through the stabilisation gate, and the threshold was crossed at 152 kt against the 139 kt target. Carrying that extra speed in usually carries the touchdown long, which it did here at 2,370 ft against the 1,500 ft target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 139 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 17 kt FAST on the reference speed of 139 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,526 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,526 ft of the 12,327 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,370 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at VNKT Tribhuvan International Airport took 11 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 02, utilizing 71% of the 9,700-foot runway to achieve a takeoff distance of 6,864 feet. Liftoff speed was reached at 162 knots, as the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions of 70°F and a gentle headwind of 1 knot.
The enroute climb phase commenced approximately 1 mile north of VNKT Tribhuvan International Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 5,315 feet above sea level to 33,944 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 142 nautical miles. This marked the beginning of a significant climb, with an increase of 28,629 feet. Following a level cruise phase that lasted 194 minutes and covered 1,450 nautical miles, the aircraft began its enroute descent from 34,009 feet to 1,279 feet in 23 minutes, covering 120 nautical miles. The descent phase concluded as the aircraft entered the final approach to runway 12 at OMSJ Sharjah International Airport.
The final approach was executed from the north-west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 123.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,172 feet above ground level. The landing was completed on runway 12, which measured 11,349 feet in length. The touchdown point was 1,021 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 139 knots, slightly above the target. The touchdown rate was excellent at -83 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 6,277 feet, utilizing 55% of the runway. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft came to a stop with very good runway alignment. The total flight distance was 1,722 nautical miles, covering a duration of 256 minutes and consuming 23,400 pounds of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 12 at OMSJ Sharjah International Airport, demonstrating a satisfactory approach quality. The final approach was initiated from the north west, heading 123.0° at 4 nm and 1,172 ft above ground level. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering 152 kt.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was a little fast at 139 kt, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -83 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 90 °F and a headwind of 4 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 kt.
The total landing distance of 6,277 ft was 55% of the runway length, indicating a satisfactory rollout performance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 96.5%.
