What went well

Touched down at -86 fpm — a soft arrival
Airborne in 386 m — 21 % of the runway

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was excessively high at 110 kn. at 0 %, Landing and flare profile at 0 %, −5.23 points
Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 13.32 m at 63 %, Landing distance 1,231 m at 88 %, −2.86 points
Arrival Touchdown — Speed at touchdown 72 kn at 47 %, Touchdown distance was 840 m at 58 %, −2.10 points

Top opportunity

Keep the approach speed on target

Arrival Landing

Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.
