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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,033 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,430 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
First of all, it's important to acknowledge the effort that went into the aircraft landing, as landing an aircraft is a complex and challenging task. While the landing score of 73.2% may seem lower than desired, it's essential to see it as an opportunity for improvement and learning rather than a failure.
Looking at the specific areas for improvement, let's start with the Approach Phase. The poor descent path above the glideslope limit is a common issue that can be addressed through better communication and coordination between the pilot and air traffic control. By ensuring that the descent path is within the prescribed limits, the overall landing performance can be greatly improved.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, the excessively high threshold height and very poor landing flare indicate a need for more precise control during the final moments before touchdown. Practicing landing flares and focusing on maintaining a consistent and controlled approach can help in achieving a smoother touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, while the touchdown rate was firm and the speed was on target, the touchdown point being 1219 ft beyond the touchdown zone and 28 ft from the centerline suggests a need for better precision and alignment during landing. Paying closer attention to touchdown points and maintaining alignment with the centerline can greatly improve landing performance.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, the significant deviation of 64 ft from the centerline highlights the importance of maintaining control and stability during the rollout. Keeping the aircraft aligned with the runway centerline can prevent veering off course and ensure a safer and smoother landing experience.
Overall, while the landing score may not have been as high as desired, it's important to see it as an opportunity for growth and improvement. By focusing on the areas identified for enhancement and practicing precision and control during each phase of landing, future landings are sure to see a significant improvement. Keep up the hard work and dedication, and remember that every flight is a chance to learn and grow as a pilot.
