Flight Score
Arrival
Add power on final to hold 147 kt across the threshold.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 134 kt, 13 kt below VREF, and low energy like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown at 265 fpm.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 147 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 1,000 ft gate: speed 36 kt FAST on the reference speed of 147 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,496 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 830 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 22R at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 22R, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 151 kt and became airborne after traveling 4,368 ft, which represented 46 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 37 °F with a wind of 5 kt from 30°, no cross-wind and a 5 kt tail-wind component.
Climb commenced 1 mile east of Elizabeth, New Jersey, with the airplane ascending from 1,005 ft asl to 24,017 ft asl, an increase of 23,012 ft achieved in 10 minutes while covering 53 nm.
The level cruise segment began 1 mile north-east of Middletown, Pennsylvania, and persisted for 13 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 80 nm.
Descent was initiated 1 mile south of Grantley, Pennsylvania, with a reduction from 23,994 ft asl to 1,450 ft asl, a loss of 22,544 ft over 19 minutes and a distance of 90 nm.
Final approach to runway 19L at KIAD Washington Dulles International Airport was conducted from the north, on a heading of 179.0°, at 4 nm and 1,125 ft agl; local conditions were 33 °F, wind 5 kt from 30°, cross-wind 2 kt and tail-wind 4 kt.
Landing on runway 19L, which is 11,496 ft long, occurred with a threshold speed of 134 kt, touchdown distance of 835 ft, touchdown speed of 129 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 237 fpm; the touchdown point was 14 ft off the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 4,562 ft, representing 40 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, with the aircraft remaining on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 7 minutes, covering an additional 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 232 nm, required 57 minutes from departure to arrival, and consumed 5,008 lbs of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 established a final approach to runway 19L at KIAD Washington Dulles International Airport from the north, tracking a heading of 179.0° at 4 nm and 1,125 ft agl while the local temperature was 33 °F, wind 5 kt from 30°, with a 2 kt crosswind component and a 4 kt tailwind.
Threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 134 kt.
Touchdown occurred 835 ft down the runway at a speed of 129 kt, with a fair touchdown rate of minus 237 fpm and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 14 ft from the centreline.
Total landing distance measured 4,562 ft, representing 40 % of the 11,496 ft runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
With a final score of 99.2 %, the landing was strong; refining the approach speed to meet the target and tightening centreline alignment at touchdown will further reduce the minor deviations observed.
