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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,737 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 329 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.

Congratulations on achieving a fantastic aircraft landing score of 98.4%! Your attention to detail and skill in each phase of the landing process is truly commendable.
Let's break down the components of your landing starting with the Approach Phase. Your glideslope alignment was excellent, indicating precision and meticulous planning. While your speed was slightly above the target, it shows that you were maintaining a consistent and controlled approach.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, your threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition onto the runway. The great landing flare suggests that you executed a seamless transition from descent to touchdown, ensuring a comfortable landing for both the aircraft and its passengers.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was optimal, demonstrating a deft touch in bringing the aircraft to the runway. Your speed was on target, underscoring your ability to maintain control throughout the landing process. Furthermore, the fact that the touchdown distance was within the touchdown zone is a testament to your precision and accuracy in executing the landing. Additionally, the runway touchdown position being 4.8 m from the centreline indicates a solid alignment with the runway.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, maintaining a runway alignment of 4.3 m from the centreline shows a consistent and steady progression down the runway, further showcasing your mastery in landing the aircraft.
Overall, your exceptional aircraft landing score is a testament to your skills as a pilot.
