Flight Score
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 1,391 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,391 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 288 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Cessna Longitude was smooth and efficient. Taxiing from the parking to the runway at LSZA Lugano Airport was quick, taking only 5 minutes and covering less than 1 nm. The departure roll on runway 01 was successful, with the aircraft taking off after a distance of 579m, which was 56% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 130 kn.
During the enroute climb, the aircraft started climbing from 1,959 ft asl to 42,220 ft asl over 15 minutes, covering a distance of 73 nm. The enroute level cruise was smooth, lasting 9 minutes and covering 64 nm. The descent started 2 miles south of Mesnay (Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France) and the aircraft descended from 42,088 ft asl to 2,054 ft asl over 30 minutes, covering 147 nm.
Another enroute level cruise started 1 mile south of Villemoutiers (Centre-Val de Loire, France) and lasted 6 minutes, covering 12 nm. The final approach to runway 23 at LFOZ Orléans – Saint-Denis-de-l'Hôtel Airport was successful, with the aircraft landing after a good threshold height. The touchdown distance was good at 288 m, with a touchdown speed of 98 kn. The touchdown rate was fair at -215 ft/m.
The total landing distance was 754 m, which was 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. After landing, taxiing to the parking from the runway took only 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. Overall, the total flight distance was 303 nm, taking 66 minutes and using 924 kg of fuel.
