Arrival
Add power on short final to hold 144 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 135 kt against a target of 144 kt, below reference speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 144 kt down to the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,934 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,934 m of the 2,713 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 495 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 21L, the crew initiated the departure roll, and the aircraft lifted off the ground after a takeoff distance of 946 meters, which represented 28% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 156 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 22°C, a wind speed of 4 knots from 220°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Athens, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and continued for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 49 nautical miles and increasing the altitude from 1,257 feet to 22,848 feet. The enroute level cruise phase followed, which lasted for 7 minutes and covered 47 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying at a steady altitude. The enroute descent phase began 4 miles north-east of Folegandros, and the aircraft descended from 22,991 feet to 1,586 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 95 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27 at Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 275.0° and an altitude of 1,504 feet above ground level.
The Boeing 737-800 landed on runway 27, with a total landing distance of 1,850 meters, which represented 83% of the runway length. The touchdown point was 77 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 130 knots, with a smooth touchdown rate of -141 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 201 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 48 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 2,098 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 27 at LGIR Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -141 fpm, maintaining a speed of 130 kt. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 135 kt was also satisfactory. The aircraft's approach quality was excellent, with a steady descent from 1,504 ft agl to the runway surface.
The touchdown point was 77 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. However, the runway touchdown position was only 3.7 m off centreline, demonstrating good control during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18 °C and a light headwind of 2 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The aircraft's performance was further enhanced by the low crosswind component of 2 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,850 m was 83% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing was scored 95.2%, reflecting the high standard of performance achieved by the crew.
