What went well

Touched down at -289 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 1,306 ft in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 20 ft and 127 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 94 %, −0.06 points

Next time

Arrival

Start the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested.

What happened: The aircraft was flown onto the runway: the nose was barely raised and little of the sink was taken out, touching down at 289 fpm.

Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.

See 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.
