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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,539 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,539 m of the 2,096 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 665 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was conducted in a SR22 aircraft, departing from runway 33 at UB10 Lenkoran. Taxiing from the parking to the runway took 30 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The departure roll began at UB10 Lenkoran, with a takeoff distance of 315 meters, which was 10% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 80 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -1°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 10°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead UBBL Lankaran International Airport, ascending from 943 feet above sea level to 5,696 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,753 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles north-east of Lankaran, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 5,994 feet above sea level to 10,696 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,702 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise that followed lasted 18 minutes, covering 46 nautical miles.
The flight continued with several enroute climbs and level cruises, with notable ascents from 10,708 feet above sea level to 14,245 feet above sea level, and from 14,522 feet above sea level to 22,168 feet above sea level. The latter climb was particularly steep, with an increase of 7,646 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its enroute descent, initially from 22,604 feet above sea level to 15,650 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,954 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles. The flight then continued with several more enroute level cruises and descents, with notable descents from 14,400 feet above sea level to 5,029 feet above sea level, and from 4,918 feet above sea level to 1,318 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 31 at OIAM Mahshahr Airport was conducted from the south-east, with a heading of 318.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,227 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 221 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 68 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -54 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 210°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,430 meters, which was 68% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.4 meters from the centreline.
Taxiing to the parking from the runway took just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 541 nautical miles, taking 118 minutes, and the aircraft used 175 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, identified as an SR22, successfully landed at OIAM Mahshahr Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 318.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,227 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 31, which has a length of 2,096 meters.
Upon analysis, it was found that the threshold height at 78 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. Additionally, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 87 knots, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly fast during the approach.
The touchdown point was located 221 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a notable deviation from the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 68 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -54 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
The total landing distance was 1,430 meters, which is 68% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, indicating that the aircraft may have been slowed down more than necessary during the rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 16.4 meters from the centerline, which is another notable deviation from the ideal landing parameters.
Overall, while the aircraft landed safely, there were several areas for improvement in terms of approach and landing technique. The pilot may need to work on achieving a more precise approach, reducing the touchdown speed, and improving the rollout alignment to achieve a more ideal landing.
