Work on the flare
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,441 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 731 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A320 from Naples International Airport to Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport covered a total distance of 228 nm.
The taxi from the parking to the runway at Naples International Airport took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The departure roll from runway 06 was smooth, with the aircraft using 64% of the runway before taking off. The liftoff speed was 160 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 25 °C with a 5 kn wind coming from 159 °, resulting in a crosswind of 5 kn and a tailwind of 1 kn.
The enroute climb started 1 mile southeast of Casoria and took the aircraft from 1,168 ft asl to 34,636 ft asl in 20 minutes, covering 81 nm. The enroute level cruise began 21 miles west of Ponza and lasted for 7 minutes, covering 54 nm.
The descent started 67 miles southwest of Fiumicino, with the aircraft descending from 34,226 ft asl to 2,078 ft asl in 24 minutes, covering 84 nm. The landing on runway 05 at Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down 710 m from the threshold at a speed of 128 kn. The total landing distance was 1,238 m, which was 51% of the runway length. The local weather at the time of landing was 22 °C with an 8 kn wind coming from 50 °, resulting in a 1 kn crosswind and an 8 kn headwind.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The flight lasted 86 minutes and consumed 2,600 kg of fuel. Overall, the flight was smooth and efficient, with all phases of the journey completed safely and within the expected parameters.
First of all, congratulations on achieving an aircraft landing score of 84.5%! While there were some areas that could be improved upon, overall it seems like a solid performance.
Let's break down the different phases of the landing to understand where improvements can be made. In the Approach Phase, it was noted that there was a poor descent path above the glideslope limit. This can indicate that adjustments need to be made to properly intercept and track the glideslope for a smoother descent towards the runway. Utilizing proper navigation tools and instruments can assist in maintaining the correct approach path.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it was observed that the threshold height was significantly above the target and there was a very poor landing flare. These issues can affect the smoothness of the touchdown and potentially lead to a hard landing. Making sure to establish the proper approach angle and flare at the right moment can help in achieving a smoother touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate was fair and the speed was on target. However, the touchdown point was 292 meters beyond the touchdown zone. This could indicate a need for better judgment and adjustment in managing the aircraft's descent and touchdown point. Additionally, it was noted that the runway touchdown position was very good, which shows accuracy in landing on the intended touchdown zone.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, it was mentioned that the runway alignment was very good. Maintaining proper alignment during rollout is essential for safe and efficient taxiing after landing.
Overall, while there were some areas that could be further improved upon, your performance in certain aspects such as runway alignment and touchdown speed was commendable. With continued practice and emphasis on correcting the noted deficiencies, your aircraft landing score can further improve. Keep up the good work and remember to focus on precision and consistency in each phase of the landing process for optimal performance.
