Flight Score
Arrival
Add power on short final to hold 118 kt over the threshold instead of letting speed decay.
What happened: Threshold speed was 12 kt below the 118 kt target, and the sink was arrested at 7.6 ft while already slow, so the aircraft settled as the speed ran out, producing a firm touchdown at 194 fpm.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 118 kt at the threshold
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,993 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 508 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from UBBQ Gabala International Airport, the Honda HA420 began taxiing from the parking area to runway 16, a process that lasted 9 minutes and spanned 2 nautical miles. The takeoff roll measured 990 meters, representing 29 % of the available runway, and the aircraft achieved liftoff speed of 129 kt. At departure, the temperature was 35 °C, with a wind of 9 kt from 159°, yielding a crosswind component of 1 kt and a headwind of 8 kt.
The climb phase commenced 1 mile south of the departure airport, with the aircraft ascending from 2,077 ft to 30,007 ft, an increase of 27,930 ft over 12 minutes while covering 52 nm. Level cruise began 4 miles northwest of UBGO Tanrykulular Airport, lasting 7 minutes and covering 48 nm. Descent started 8 miles northeast of Qaraxanli, dropping from 30,009 ft to 3,061 ft-a decrease of 26,948 ft in 21 minutes over 95 nm.
Approach to runway 13R at UGTB Tbilisi International Airport was from the northwest, heading 137.0° at 4 nm and 1,460 ft AGL.
