Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed back to 119 kt well before the gate.
What happened: Approach was fast through the stabilisation gate, and the threshold was crossed at 148 kt against the 119 kt target. Carrying that extra speed in usually carries the touchdown long, which it did here at 557 m against the 457 m target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 119 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: sink rate 1,580 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and speed 44 kt FAST on the reference speed of 119 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 40 kt FAST on the reference speed of 119 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,982 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,982 m of the 2,644 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 557 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from McGhee Tyson Airport (KTYS) in Alcoa, Tennessee, the aircraft began its journey on runway 23L. After a 5-minute taxi, covering 3 nautical miles, the aircraft initiated its departure roll. The takeoff distance of 786 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway, was sufficient to achieve liftoff at a speed of 130 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius.
As the aircraft climbed away from KTYS, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, reaching an altitude of 32,078 feet above sea level. This ascent, covering 46 nautical miles, was achieved in 8 minutes, representing a vertical gain of 30,096 feet. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 7 miles south of Newport, Tennessee. The descent from 32,447 feet to 2,021 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,425 feet, took 22 minutes and spanned 124 nautical miles. The aircraft then aligned itself for a final approach to runway 18L at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT), with a heading of 176.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,281 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 18L, which had a length of 2,649 meters. Although the threshold speed was excessively high at 149 knots, the touchdown point was 137 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 137 knots was also excessively fast, but the touchdown rate of -211 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance of 1,897 meters, accounting for 72% of the runway, was within acceptable limits. Following a 35-minute taxi, covering less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft arrived at the parking area. The total flight distance of 179 nautical miles was achieved in 36 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 729 kilograms.
The aircraft touched down on runway 18L at KCLT Charlotte Douglas International Airport, a 2,649-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the north. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 149 kt, indicating a potential for a longer landing distance.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down 137 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 137 kt, which was also excessively fast. The touchdown rate of -211 fpm was fair, indicating a relatively smooth deceleration. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centreline, which may have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance.
The total landing distance of 1,897 meters was 72% of the runway length, indicating a relatively efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing performance scored 91.6%, reflecting a good but not exceptional performance, given the excessive threshold speed and touchdown speed.
