What went well

Touched down at -132 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 0.46 m off the centreline, no bounce
1.10 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Taxi — peak speed in a turn 27 kt at 0 %, Landing Lights at 1 %, −1.87 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 0 %, −1.09 points
Departure Taxi — peak speed in a turn 20 kt at 68 %, −0.87 points

Next time

Departure

Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.

What happened: Bank increased to 2° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 4.6° into the next climb segment.

Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level

See Departure Climb 2Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 193 fpm.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.

Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 132 fpm.

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.
