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 1,559 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,559 m of the 3,594 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 763 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 24 at ENAL Ålesund Airport, Vigra, with a takeoff distance of 580 meters, which was 30% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 131 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft climbed to a height of 39,744 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,686 feet from the initial altitude of 1,057 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 57 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started overhead ENAL Ålesund Airport, Vigra, and continued until the aircraft reached a level cruise altitude 14 miles south west of ENLB Bjorli Airfield Bismo. This level cruise lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 44 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 9 miles south of Lalm, and descended from 40,261 feet to 9,539 feet in 16 minutes and covering 86 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 3 miles north east of Hallingby and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Tranby, and descended from 9,024 feet to 1,938 feet in 10 minutes and covering 30 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 01L at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, was made from the south, with a heading of 16.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,256 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 01L was successful, with a touchdown point 332 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 94 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was also good at -185 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,463 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 252 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 58 minutes. The aircraft used 755 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Longitude aircraft successfully landed at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, with a score of 93.9%. The final approach to runway 01L was initiated from the south, heading 16.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was precise, with a threshold height that was slightly above the target, indicating a good visual reference for the pilot.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was within the acceptable range at 94 knots, and the touchdown rate was also good at -185 feet per minute (fpm). However, the touchdown point was 332 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline, which could be attributed to a minor navigation error.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C, which may have affected the aircraft's performance. Despite this, the total landing distance of 1,463 meters was within 41% of the runway length, indicating a relatively smooth and controlled descent. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft meeting most of the performance criteria. However, the slight deviations from the intended landing path and the misaligned touchdown position may indicate areas for improvement in the pilot's navigation and control skills.
