Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 143 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 146 kt against a VREF of 143 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 143 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 1,000 ft gate: speed 30 kt FAST on the reference speed of 143 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,923 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,923 m of the 3,798 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 587 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 18 at SEQM Mariscal Sucre International Airport in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 18, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 2,269 m, representing 55 % of the runway, and lifted off at 149 kt. Ambient conditions were 31 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 227°, providing a 4 kt headwind and a 4 kt crosswind.
The climb commenced 2 miles south of SEQM, with the airplane climbing from 8,759 ft asl to 34,998 ft asl, an increase of 26,238 ft achieved in 26 minutes while covering 198 nm.
The first level cruise began 6 miles east of Sucre (Departamento del Cauca, Colombia) and lasted 18 minutes, during which 145 nm were flown.
Descent phase one started 5 miles southeast of Ortega (Departamento de Tolima, Colombia), descending from 34,988 ft asl to 17,049 ft asl, a loss of 17,938 ft in 9 minutes over 62 nm.
A second cruise segment was initiated 1 mile northeast of SKBM Colombaima Airport, Ambalema, lasting 9 minutes and covering 49 nm.
The subsequent descent began 4 miles southwest of Topaipi (Departamento de Cundinamarca, Colombia), dropping from 17,050 ft asl to 9,577 ft asl, a decrease of 7,473 ft in 9 minutes across 41 nm.
The final approach to runway 14R at SKBO El Dorado International Airport was flown from the northwest, on a heading of 124.0° at 4 nm and 1,194 ft agl.
A go-around was executed on runway 14R at SKBO, initiating the maneuver at 0 ft agl.
Landing on runway 14R at SKBO was performed on a runway 3,801 m long; the threshold height of 56 ft agl and threshold speed of 146 kt were slightly above target. Touchdown occurred 192 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 138 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 167 fpm and very good alignment. Local weather reported 18 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 112°, giving a 3 kt headwind and 1 kt crosswind. The total landing distance was 1,863 m, representing 49 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was very good as the aircraft decelerated to a stop.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 560 nm, lasted 95 minutes, and consumed 4,808 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 performed a final approach to runway 14R at SKBO El Dorado International Airport from the north-west, tracking a heading of 124.0° at 4 nm and 1,194 ft agl. Local conditions were temperature 18 °C, wind 3 kt from 112°, with a 1 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt headwind component.
At the threshold the aircraft was 56 ft agl, which was slightly above target, and the threshold speed was 146 kt, also slightly above target.
Touchdown occurred 192 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 138 kt, a little fast, while the vertical rate was minus 167 fpm, rated as good. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The aircraft used a total landing distance of 1,863 m, representing 49 % of the 3,801 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
Refine the approach to bring threshold height and speed precisely to target, and aim to achieve touchdown within the touchdown zone to eliminate the 192 m overshoot. These adjustments will help convert the already strong 97.2 % score into a flawless performance.
