Flight Score
Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 90 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 107 kt, 17 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 90 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 85 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 91 kt, 6 kt above the 85 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 85 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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: sink rate 1,525 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 5.9° against the runway's 3° and centreline 3.6° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,148 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,148 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 366 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
