Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 115 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 117 kt against a VREF of 115 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 115 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 500 ft gate: speed 18 kt FAST on the reference speed of 115 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 4,004 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 238 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Roberts International Airport, the Boeing 737-600 taxied from the parking area to runway 22 in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The takeoff roll measured 600 m, representing 20 % of the runway, and the aircraft achieved liftoff speed of 137 kt. Immediately after departure, the climb commenced over GLRB, rising from 977 ft to 40,998 ft in 47 minutes while covering 354 nm, an ascent of 40,021 ft.
The cruise phase began 75 miles southeast of Tabou, Ivory Coast, and persisted for 315 minutes, during which 2,626 nm were traversed. Descent operations started 25 miles south of FLKO Kaoma Airport, dropping from 41,002 ft to 5,560 ft in 16 minutes over 202 nm, a descent of 35,442 ft. A brief level segment of 2 minutes covered 10 nm north-west of Lusaka before the final approach to runway 10 at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport.
Approach from the west at 95.0° and 4 nm, the aircraft touched down on runway 10 with a touchdown speed of 112 kt and a touchdown rate of -172 fpm, covering 240 m of the 4,004 m runway. The touchdown alignment was perfect, and the total landing distance was 682 m, 17 % of the runway. After landing, the aircraft taxied back to the parking in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm. The entire flight spanned 3,198 nm, lasted 387 minutes, and consumed 15,080 kg of fuel.
Approach to runway 10 at FLLS Kenneth Kaunda International Airport commenced from the west with a heading of 95.0° at 4 nm and 1,291 ft agl. The aircraft entered final approach and maintained a threshold speed of 118 kt, slightly above the target. At touchdown the aircraft was aligned perfectly with the runway centerline, and the touchdown speed was 112 kt, a little fast. The touchdown rate was recorded at minus 172 fpm, and the touchdown distance measured 240 m.
The landing roll covered a total distance of 682 m, representing 17 % of the 4,004 m runway length. Runway rollout alignment remained perfect throughout the landing. Local weather conditions were 10 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 90°, providing a 4 kt headwind and no crosswind. The threshold height was good, and the touchdown alignment and rollout were both described as perfect.
