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.

Landing Summary

Overall, this landing showed a mix of strengths and weaknesses, but there is great potential for improvement with some focused practice and adjustments.

During the Approach Phase, it is encouraging to see good heading alignment and speed control. However, the descent path below the glideslope limit could be improved upon to ensure a smoother and more controlled approach.

Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is evident that there were some challenges with the threshold height being too low and a very poor landing flare. This led to instability during the landing, which is an area that can be worked on to achieve a more controlled and stable touchdown.

In the Touchdown Phase, there was a hard touchdown rate and some bouncing upon touchdown. However, the speed and distance were good, showing that with some refinements in technique, a more gentle and controlled landing can be achieved.

Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, there was poor runway alignment. This is an important aspect to focus on for a safe and efficient rollout.

Overall, while there were areas of improvement in this landing, there were also several positive aspects to build upon. With continued practice and attention to technique, there is no doubt that future landings can become more consistent and controlled. Keep up the hard work and dedication, and remember that every landing is an opportunity to learn and grow as a pilot. You're on the right track!
