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 report
Landing on runway 10 at TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport in the Airbus A320neo
Landing Score 63.21 %
Landing Summary

First and foremost, it's important to acknowledge that receiving a score of 63.2% on an aircraft landing assessment is below the desired standard. However, receiving feedback on areas that need improvement is the first step towards enhancing your skills as a pilot.

Starting with the Approach Phase, it is noted that there were issues with maintaining a proper descent path above the glideslope limit. This is crucial for a safe and controlled landing. Additionally, having a slightly higher than target threshold speed at 143 knots indicates the need for better speed management during approach.

Moving on to the Landing Phase, the excessive threshold height of 128 feet above ground level is a cause for concern as it could lead to potential safety risks. The mention of a very poor landing flare and poor bank angle stability during landing highlights the importance of achieving a smooth touchdown.

During the Touchdown Phase, the very heavy touchdown rate of -848 feet per minute is a sign of a hard landing, which can be damaging to the aircraft and uncomfortable for passengers. Additionally, landing at a speed of 143 knots, slightly above the desired speed, could have contributed to the heavy touchdown rate. Using more than 50% of the available runway for touchdown indicates a need for better runway management and planning.

Lastly, the misalignment of the runway touchdown position by 14.1 meters from the centerline is a significant deviation that needs to be corrected for safer landing procedures in the future.

In conclusion, while receiving less than satisfactory marks on your landing assessment can be disheartening, it's important to view this feedback as an opportunity for growth and improvement. By focusing on areas such as maintaining proper descent paths, speed management, flare technique, touchdown rate, and runway alignment, you can work towards achieving a higher score in future assessments. Remember, every landing is a learning experience, and with dedication and practice, you can strive towards becoming a more proficient pilot.
