Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 125 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 131 kt, 6 kt above 125 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 125 kt at the threshold.
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 31 kt FAST on the reference speed of 125 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 2,620 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 507 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 24R at CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, a movement that lasted 5 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24R, the Boeing 737-700 accelerated to a liftoff speed of 141 kt, using a takeoff distance of 1,828 m which represented 55 % of the runway. Local weather conditions were a temperature of 12 °C, wind 6 kt from 169 °, with a 4 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt headwind.
The climb commenced overhead Dorval, climbing from 1,073 ft asl to 40,814 ft asl - an increase of 39,741 ft - over 35 minutes while covering 295 nm.
Level cruise began 3 miles south-west of Keswick Ridge in New Brunswick and continued for 244 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 2,223 nm.
Descent was initiated 8 miles north-west of Killala, Ireland, descending from 41,003 ft asl to 1,467 ft asl - a loss of 39,536 ft - in 20 minutes and covering 138 nm.
The final approach to runway 28L at EIDW Dublin Airport involved a descent from 1,303 ft agl to 38 ft agl in 109 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 28L, which is 2,620 m long, the threshold speed was slightly above target at 132 kt. Touchdown occurred 85 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 118 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 239 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Local weather at the time was a temperature of 9 °C, wind 5 kt from 299 °, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 5 kt headwind.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 825 m, representing 31 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment remained perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a taxi-in that lasted 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 2,665 nm, required 308 (units as given) of time, and consumed 11,606 kg of fuel.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) on runway 30, achieving a score of 95.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 301.0° at 2 nautical miles and 758 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 172 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the expected area. The touchdown speed of 101 knots was a bit higher than the ideal speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -321 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots from 90°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 5 knots. These conditions contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 982 meters was 38% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control of the aircraft to maintain a safe distance from the end of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was excellent, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and flare technique to achieve a smoother touchdown.
