Flight Score
Arrival
Level the wings with coordinated aileron on short final so bank stays near wings-level through touchdown.
What happened: Wings were not level through the landing phase, with bank angle at 2° on short final.
Watch for: Watch the bank angle indicator, holding it near wings-level through the landing and touchdown.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 1,789 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 417 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Partenavia P68B Blue-Black taxied to runway 29 at EKRK Copenhagen Roskilde Airport and commenced its departure roll. Takeoff was achieved after a ground run of 446 m, representing 26 % of the available runway, with liftoff attained at 66 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind from 280° at 16 kt, providing a 15 kt headwind and a 4 kt crosswind component.
Climb began one mile west of the airport, where the aircraft accelerated from 817 ft asl to 2,911 ft asl, a gain of 2,094 ft. The ascent was completed in 2 minutes while covering 4 nm.
Cruise was established overhead Lejre, Denmark, and was maintained for 15 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 27 nm at level flight.
The final approach to runway 11 was executed from the north-west, with the aircraft on a heading of 124.0° at 4 nm distance and 1,033 ft agl. The approach was conducted under the same temperature and wind conditions as departure, now presenting a 15 kt tailwind and a 4 kt crosswind.
Landing on runway 11, which is 1,789 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 82 kt. Touchdown was recorded 417 m down the runway at 64 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 160 fpm. The touchdown point was offset by 6.0 m from the centreline. The total landing roll measured 946 m, equivalent to 53 % of the runway length.
Runway rollout alignment was assessed as very good, with the aircraft remaining on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
In total, the flight covered 36 nm, taking 22 minutes, and consumed 17 kg of fuel.
Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen performed the final approach to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the south-west, maintaining a heading of 52.0 ° at 1 nm and 351 ft agl. Local weather was 11 °C with wind 1 kt from 169 °, a crosswind component of 1 kt and no headwind.
At the threshold the aircraft crossed at a height of 55 ft agl, which was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was too high at 49 kt.
Touchdown occurred 401 m down the runway, with a speed of 30 kt that was a little fast, a vertical rate of minus 17 fpm, and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 4.4 m from the centreline.
Reduce the final-approach speed to bring the threshold speed within target and adjust the flare to achieve a lower touchdown speed, while fine-tuning the landing line to centre the aircraft more closely on the runway centreline.
