Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 123 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 128 kt against a VREF of 123 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 123 kt at the stabilisation gate.
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 500 ft gate: speed 16 kt FAST on the reference speed of 123 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 2,199 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 295 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-600 taxied from the parking area to runway 12R at MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún in 5 minutes, covering 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 12R, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 978 m (28 % of runway) and lifted off at 135 kt; local weather reported a temperature of 32 °C, wind 2 kt from 209°, a 2 kt crosswind and a 0 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead MMUN, ascending from 957 ft asl to 38,771 ft asl - an increase of 37,814 ft - over 38 minutes while covering 288 nm.
The first cruise segment began 37 miles west of West Bay (West Bay, Cayman Islands) and continued for 107 minutes, during which 970 nm were flown.
Descent 1 started 34 miles south-west of TISX Henry E Rohlsen Airport, decreasing altitude from 38,676 ft asl to 34,659 ft asl - a loss of 4,018 ft - in 5 minutes and covering 68 nm.
A brief cruise followed, beginning 37 miles south-east of VI32 Christiansted Harbor Seaplane Base and lasting 2 minutes for a distance of 14 nm.
Descent 2 was initiated 38 miles south-west of The Bottom (Saba, Caribbean Netherlands), dropping from 34,589 ft asl to 1,234 ft asl - a loss of 33,356 ft - in 12 minutes and covering 70 nm.
The final approach to runway 07 at TKPK Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport was flown from the south-west, on a heading of 57.0° at 4 nm and 1,062 ft agl.
Landing on runway 07, which is 2,196 m long, recorded a threshold speed of 128 kt, a touchdown distance of 291 m, a touchdown speed of 120 kt, and a touchdown rate of minus 195 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was very good. Local weather at the time was 31 °C, wind 7 kt from 60°, with a 0 kt crosswind and a 7 kt headwind. Total landing distance was 713 m (32 % of runway).
Runway rollout alignment was perfect and the aircraft completed the rollout after the landing distance of 713 m.
Taxi-in from the runway to the parking area required 1 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 1,417 nm, took 171 (units as given), and consumed 8,083 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 conducted the final approach to runway 07 at TKPK Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport from the south-west, maintaining a heading of 57.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,062 ft agl. Local weather was 31 °C with wind 7 kt at 60 °, giving a headwind of 7 kt and zero crosswind.
The threshold height was good and the aircraft crossed the threshold at 128 kt, which was slightly above target.
Touchdown occurred 291 m down the runway at a speed of 120 kt, which was a little fast, with a vertical rate of minus 195 fpm that was good, and runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 713 m, representing 32 % of the 2,196 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
Fine-tune speed control to bring the threshold and touchdown speeds within target values. A slight reduction in approach speed will align the aircraft more closely with the optimal profile.
