Flight Score
Arrival
Nothing to change in the speed, the height or the flare. Keep the landing attitude held until the mains are on, so the aircraft is not let down onto the runway in the last moment.
What happened: The touchdown rate was 201 fpm. Nothing before it explains that: threshold speed and height were within limits and the flare was flown normally.
Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 201 fpm next time
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 1,000 ft gate: speed 42 kt FAST on the reference speed of 124 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 3,546 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 407 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Lusaka International Airport was the point of departure for the Boeing 737-600, which taxied from the parking area to runway 10 in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The take-off roll required 2,058 m, representing 49 % of the available runway, and the aircraft lifted off at 129 kt. Local conditions included a temperature of 28 °C and a light 2-kt headwind.
Enroute, the climb began over Kenneth Kaunda International Airport, gaining 22,260 ft from 4,730 ft to 26,990 ft in 14 minutes while covering 103 nm. A subsequent cruise segment of 93 nm lasted 11 minutes, after which the descent commenced 20 nm east of Petauke, losing 21,680 ft from 26,998 ft to 5,318 ft in 17 minutes and traversing 124 nm.
Approach to Lilongwe International Airport was conducted on runway 14 from the north-west, with a heading of 130.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,282 ft AGL. The threshold speed was 125 kt, touchdown occurred 401 m down the runway at 116 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 232 fpm; the aircraft was offset 6.1 m from the centreline. The total landing roll measured 878 m, or 25 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was off by 7.6 m. After a 1-minute taxi back to the parking area (less than 1 nm), the flight logged 326 nm in 46 minutes and consumed 2,727 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 14 at FWKI Lilongwe International Airport was conducted from the north west on a heading of 130.0 °, with the aircraft positioned 4 nm from the threshold at 1,282 ft agl. The approach continued to a touchdown on runway 14, whose length is 3,541 m, with a good threshold height. Threshold speed was slightly above target at 125 kt, and touchdown distance was good at 401 m. Touchdown speed registered at 116 kt was a little fast, while touchdown rate was fair at minus 232 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.1 m from the centreline.
Local weather reported a temperature of 23 °C, wind 2 kt at 0 °, crosswind 2 kt and tailwind 1 kt. Total landing distance measured 878 m, representing 25 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.6 m from the centreline. The overall performance received a score of 97.4%.
