Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 135 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 133 kt against a VREF of 135 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 135 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 1,000 ft gate: speed 41 kt FAST on the reference speed of 135 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 3,292 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 529 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Libreville Leon M'ba International Airport took approximately 4 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Boeing 737-800 then began its departure roll on runway 16, utilizing 44% of the available runway length to achieve a takeoff distance of 1,337 meters. Liftoff speed was reached at 153 knots, with a local temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 240°.
The enroute climb phase commenced approximately 1 mile south east of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 990 feet above sea level to 39,734 feet, a vertical increase of 38,743 feet over a distance of 319 nautical miles in 42 minutes. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 129 minutes and covering 1,019 nautical miles. The descent phase began 11 miles north west of Kenema, Sierra Leone, with the aircraft decreasing in altitude from 39,996 feet to 1,398 feet over a distance of 176 nautical miles in 24 minutes. The final approach to runway 06 at Conakry International Airport was initiated from the south west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 50.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,322 feet above ground level.
The Boeing 737-800 landed on runway 06 at Conakry International Airport, utilizing 33% of the available runway length, with a total landing distance of 1,071 meters. Touchdown speed was 124 knots, and the touchdown rate was -169 feet per minute, both of which were within acceptable limits. Runway touchdown alignment was also very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 2 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,521 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 204 minutes and a fuel consumption of 8,942 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down smoothly on runway 06 at GUCY Conakry International Airport, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The aircraft's approach quality was excellent, with a threshold speed of 134 kt that was precisely controlled. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it maintained a steady state, with a touchdown speed of 124 kt that was well within the desired range.
The touchdown characteristics were equally impressive, with a touchdown rate of -169 fpm that was consistent with the aircraft's weight and configuration. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft tracking the centreline precisely. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 29 °C and a light wind of 4 kt at 240 °, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 kt, while the tailwind component was 4 kt, which had a negligible impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,071 m was 33% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centreline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 99.0%, reflecting the high level of precision and control demonstrated by the pilot throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
