What went well

Threshold crossed at 29 ft and 90 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 1.74 m off the centreline, no bounce
1.36 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 46 %, −0.59 points
Arrival Taxi — Landing Lights at 1 %, peak speed in a turn 18 kt at 89 %, −0.47 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 678 m at 76 %, Touchdown VSI was -177 fpm. at 81 %, −0.36 points

Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

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.

Touchdown was 680 m past the threshold. Hold the attitude and let it settle rather than pushing - a balloon is almost always excess speed, so the fix is on the approach, not in the flare.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 31L at KPSP Palm Springs International Airport, a 2,594-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the south east. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was above the target at 90 kt, indicating a slightly high approach speed. The touchdown point was 248 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 85 kt was a little fast, although the touchdown rate of -177 fpm was good.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.6 meters, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 1 kt. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 42 °C and a headwind of 8 kt, may have also contributed to the slight deviation from the centreline. The total landing distance of 951 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits.

The rollout phase was characterized by very good alignment, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the deceleration phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 91.1%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown point and speed, the pilot demonstrated good control and adherence to standard operating procedures.
