Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 138 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 144 kt, 6 kt above 138 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: 138 kt at the threshold.
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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 1,557 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,557 m of the 1,837 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 557 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from LEMI Región de Murcia International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey with a taxiing period of 7 minutes, covering 1 nm, before taking to the runway for departure roll on runway 05. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 154 kt, utilizing 58% of the 1,750 m runway. Local weather conditions at the time of departure included a temperature of 27 °C, with a 5 kt headwind and a 3 kt crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it underwent several enroute climbs and level cruises, with notable increases in altitude including a 24,618 ft ascent from 3,759 ft to 28,377 ft in 19 minutes, and a 4,447 ft climb from 27,538 ft to 31,986 ft in 5 minutes. The aircraft also experienced several level cruises, including a 45-minute period at 31,999 ft asl, covering 317 nm. The descent phase of the flight began 1 mile south east of Le Vivier-sur-Mer, with the aircraft descending from 31,999 ft asl to 6,991 ft asl in 21 minutes, covering 119 nm.
The final approach to runway 08 at EGHH Bournemouth Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft touching down 138 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 137 kt. The touchdown rate was firm at -305 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 m from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,474 m, 80% of the 1,836 m runway. Following a taxiing period of 3 minutes, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 905 nm and utilizing 5,848 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 08 at EGHH Bournemouth Airport, with a threshold height that met expectations. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering 145 kt. The aircraft's descent was controlled, with a firm touchdown rate of -305 fpm. The touchdown point was located 138 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 137 kt, which was a little fast. Despite this, the pilot maintained control, and the aircraft remained aligned with the runway centreline for the most part. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a wind speed of 13 kt at 180 °, contributed to a crosswind of 13 kt and a tailwind of 3 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,474 m was 80% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled rollout. Unfortunately, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.9 m from the centreline, which may have been a result of the slight crosswind. Overall, the landing scored 89.6%, reflecting a good but not exceptional performance.
