Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 129 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 126 kt against a VREF of 129 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 129 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: gear still up and speed 66 kt FAST on the reference speed of 129 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 28 kt FAST on the reference speed of 129 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 2,793 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 265 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Seve Ballesteros-Santander Airport, the Boeing 737-700 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 29, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,286-meter stretch of the runway, which represented 56% of its total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 140 knots, taking advantage of the 2-knot tailwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,006 feet above sea level to 20,000 feet, a vertical gain of 18,994 feet, in just 7 minutes and covering a distance of 44 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a 34-minute enroute level cruise, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered a distance of 242 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it initiated its enroute descent, gradually losing altitude from 19,999 feet to 2,062 feet, a decrease of 17,936 feet, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 34 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25L at Brest Bretagne Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 251.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,700 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. However, the aircraft was forced to execute a go-around at an altitude of 995 feet, before successfully landing on the runway. The touchdown distance was 266 meters, and the aircraft touched down at a speed of 124 knots, with a smooth touchdown rate of -101 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 350 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 2,659 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted a total of 63 minutes.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 25L at LFRB Brest Bretagne Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -101 fpm, indicating a well-executed landing. The threshold height was good, allowing the aircraft to maintain a safe distance from the runway threshold. The threshold speed of 126 kt was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and approach speed.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown speed of 124 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown distance of 266 m was good, indicating a controlled and stable approach. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway's centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14 °C and a light wind of 4 kt at 10 °, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment as it decelerated to a stop. The total landing distance of 1,104 m, which accounted for 40% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was executed to a high standard, with a score of 99.2% reflecting the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
