Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,976 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,854 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Vision Jet began with a departure roll on runway 31L at KPSP Palm Springs Intl. The takeoff distance was 2,481 ft, which accounted for 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 92 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 91 °F with a wind of 4 knots coming from 150 °. There was a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 4 knots.
The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of Palm Springs, California, climbing from 1,486 ft above sea level to 31,329 ft above sea level. This was an increase of 29,842 ft in altitude achieved in just 6 minutes, covering 63 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began 9 miles north of 5CA4 Ludlow Barstow, California, lasting 258 minutes and covering 624 nm.
The enroute descent commenced 1 mile southeast of U53 Henry's Lake, Idaho, descending from 31,088 ft above sea level to 6,489 ft above sea level. This was a decrease of 24,599 ft in altitude in 14 minutes and covering 66 nm.
The landing took place on runway 30 at KBZN Bozeman Yellowstone Intl, with a runway length of 8,976 ft. The height at threshold was 28 ft above ground level, and the speed at threshold was 86 knots. The touchdown occurred 1,851 ft from the threshold with a touchdown speed of 67 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -132 ft/min. The local weather at the time of landing was 69 °F with a wind of 12 knots coming from 140 °. There was a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 12 knots. The total landing distance was 2,898 ft, which accounted for 32% of the runway length.
Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 759 nm, with a total flight time of 287 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,073 lbs of fuel during the flight.
Great job on your aircraft landing with a score of 98.0%! Let's break down your performance in each phase of the landing and see what went well and where there could be improvements.
During the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was excellent, which shows great skill in maintaining the proper descent path towards the runway. Your speed was slightly below target, but this is a minor deviation that can easily be adjusted with practice.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you had a good threshold height and a smooth landing flare. This indicates that you approached the runway at the correct altitude and executed a gentle transition to the landing surface. Well done on these aspects.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was smooth and your speed was on target, further demonstrating your proficiency in executing a safe and controlled landing. However, it's worth noting that you touched down 434 ft beyond the touchdown zone, which could be a result of the tailwind you landed with. Landing with a tailwind can increase landing distance and pose a higher risk, so it's important to be mindful of wind conditions during approach and landing.
Despite the tailwind issue, your runway touchdown position was very good, indicating that you landed at the appropriate point on the runway for a safe and efficient landing.
As you transitioned into the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was very good, showing that you maintained the aircraft's track along the centerline of the runway during rollout. This is a key element in ensuring a smooth and controlled landing.
Overall, your landing performance was excellent with strong execution in most phases. To further improve, focus on adjusting your approach speed to hit the target more precisely and be cautious of landing with tailwinds to ensure safe landings in all conditions. Keep up the great work and continue practicing to maintain high landing scores in the future.
