Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 139 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 150 kt against a target of 139 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 139 kt at the threshold.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 5,160 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,160 ft of the 8,792 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,653 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 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. As the aircraft lined up on runway 17R, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 80°F and a gentle headwind of 3 knots. The takeoff roll commenced, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 159 knots, utilizing 43% of the available runway length of 5,821 feet.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its ascent from 1,594 feet above sea level, gradually increasing to 36,554 feet over a distance of 162 nautical miles in 23 minutes. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 78 minutes and covered a distance of 639 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 36,994 feet to 1,295 feet over a distance of 191 nautical miles in 33 minutes. The final approach to runway 10L at Palm Beach International Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 93.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 10L, which had a length of 7,975 feet, with a touchdown speed of 141 knots. Although the touchdown speed was slightly above the target, the touchdown rate was good at -163 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was excellent, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 4,916 feet, accounting for 62% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,000 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 12,783 pounds of fuel during the journey, which lasted for 146 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 10L at KPBI Palm Beach International Airport with a score of 99.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 93.0° at 4 nm and 1,270 ft above ground level. The final approach was characterized by good quality, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. However, the threshold speed was above the target, reaching 150 kt, which may have contributed to a slightly faster-than-desired touchdown speed of 141 kt.
The touchdown point was located 309 ft beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. Despite this, the touchdown rate of -163 fpm was good, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was well-controlled. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 86 °F and a 7 kt headwind, were favorable for the landing. The crosswind component was minimal, at 3 kt, which further contributed to a smooth touchdown.
The total landing distance of 4,916 ft was 62% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway throughout the deceleration phase. Overall, the landing was characterized by good approach quality, a well-controlled touchdown, and a smooth rollout, resulting in a high score of 99.3%.
