Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 144 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 151 kt, 7 kt above the 144 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 144 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,910 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,910 ft of the 8,988 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,483 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 01R at Harry Reid International Airport (KLAS) in Las Vegas, Nevada. The takeoff distance was 5,238 feet, which accounted for 62% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 156 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 54°F and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 287°. The aircraft then began its enroute climb from an altitude of 3,116 feet above sea level to 35,353 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,237 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 145 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles northwest of the Valle Grand Canyon (40G) in Arizona, and lasted for 47 minutes, covering a distance of 818 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent from an altitude of 35,247 feet above sea level to 7,995 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,252 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 113 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 3 miles east of Plum Grove (Texas) and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent from an altitude of 7,882 feet above sea level to 1,726 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,156 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26R at George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport (KIAH) was made from the east, heading 270.0° at an altitude of 1,612 feet above ground level, and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 8,988 feet, and a threshold speed of 151 knots, slightly above the target speed.
The touchdown distance was good at 1,488 feet, and the touchdown speed was 148 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -226 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 300°.
The total landing distance was 5,661 feet, which accounted for 63% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft then began its taxiing period from the runway to the parking, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The total flight distance was 1,108 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 119 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 15,246 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 26R at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, achieving a score of 99.7%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,612 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 150 kt, registering at 151 kt. This minor deviation from the target speed did not significantly impact the overall landing performance.
The touchdown distance of 1,488 ft was within acceptable limits, demonstrating a well-executed landing. However, the touchdown speed of 148 kt was a little fast, which may have contributed to a slightly higher touchdown rate of -226 fpm. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 64°F and a light wind of 2 kt from 300°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, and the headwind component was also 1 kt, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 5,661 ft was 63% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft performed well under the given conditions. The minor deviations from the target speed and touchdown speed did not significantly impact the overall landing performance, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop safely within the designated runway area.
