Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 127 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 125 kt against a VREF of 127 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 127 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 31 kt FAST on the reference speed of 127 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.4° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,496 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 430 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Brunei International Airport, the Boeing 737-600 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the designated runway, a process that took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. With the local weather conditions indicating a temperature of 29 °C and a gentle wind of 4 kt at 50 °, the aircraft took off from runway 21, utilizing 58% of the available length of 2,126 meters. The liftoff speed was achieved at 140 kt, marking the start of the aircraft's ascent.
As the aircraft climbed from 979 ft above sea level to 38,996 ft, it covered a distance of 283 nautical miles in 38 minutes, demonstrating a steady and efficient climb. The enroute level cruise phase began approximately 26 miles southwest of Long Lees, Indonesia, and lasted for 76 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 590 nautical miles. The descent phase started 66 miles northeast of Bajawa Soa Airport, Indonesia, and took 29 minutes to descend from 38,994 ft to 3,346 ft, covering 199 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off for a brief period before commencing its final descent, touching down on runway 25 at El Tari Airport, Kupang, Indonesia, with a touchdown distance of 431 meters and a speed of 118 kt.
The landing was deemed satisfactory, with a touchdown rate of -211 fpm and a runway touchdown alignment that was very good. The total landing distance was 899 meters, accounting for 36% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,093 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 151 minutes and a fuel consumption of 6,799 kg.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down smoothly on runway 25 at WATT El Tari Airport, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The aircraft's approach quality was excellent, with a threshold speed of 125 kt that was precisely maintained. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown distance of 431 m was good, and the touchdown speed of 118 kt was also within the desired range. However, the touchdown rate of -211 fpm was slightly higher than ideal, indicating a slightly steeper descent than intended.
Despite this minor deviation, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the centreline alignment spot on. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 31 °C and a gentle tailwind of 7 kt, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. The crosswind component of 5 kt was minimal, and the aircraft's handling characteristics were well-suited to the conditions. The total landing distance of 899 m, which accounted for just 36% of the runway length, was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance.
As the aircraft rolled out along the runway, the alignment was perfect, with the centreline maintained throughout. The landing was a credit to the pilot's expertise, and the overall score of 99.4% reflected the high standard of the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. The landing was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and touchdown, with the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics working in harmony to deliver a safe and efficient landing.
