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 1,963 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,963 m of the 2,617 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 822 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, the aircraft landing score of 87.7% indicates a fairly successful landing, but there are some areas that could use improvement. Let's break down each phase of the landing and discuss how to make adjustments for better performance in the future.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it's noted that the descent path was above the glideslope limit. This could be due to the pilot descending too quickly or not properly managing the aircraft's descent. It's important to closely monitor the descent rate and adjust as needed to stay within the glideslope limits. Additionally, ensuring good communication with air traffic control and following their instructions can also help maintain a stable descent path.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's mentioned that the threshold height was well above the target and the landing flare was very poor. To improve in this area, it's crucial for the pilot to have a clear understanding of the proper landing procedures and execute them accurately. The landing flare, in particular, is a critical moment in the landing process and requires finesse to ensure a smooth touchdown. Practicing landings and receiving feedback from instructors can help refine these skills.
In the Touchdown Phase, while the touchdown rate was firm and the speed was on target, the touchdown point was 408 m beyond the touchdown zone. This indicates that the pilot may have misjudged the landing point or encountered external factors that affected the landing. It's essential to accurately judge the touchdown point and adjust accordingly to ensure a safe and timely landing within the designated zone.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was slightly off, 4.0 m from the centerline. Maintaining proper alignment during rollout is crucial for ensuring a safe and smooth taxi off the runway. Pilots should actively monitor their alignment and make corrections as needed to stay centered on the runway.
In conclusion, while the landing score of 87.7% is commendable, there are areas for improvement in the descent path, landing flare, touchdown point, and runway alignment. By focusing on these specific areas during training and practice sessions, pilots can enhance their skills and strive for even better landing scores in the future. Remember, every landing is an opportunity to learn and grow as a pilot, so stay positive and keep working towards improvement.
