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 9,745 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,779 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, the aircraft landing score of 84.8% indicates that there were some areas of improvement during the different phases of the landing. Let's break down the analysis of each phase and provide some encouraging feedback for future landings.
In the Approach Phase, it is noted that there was a poor descent path above the glideslope limit. This indicates that the aircraft was not properly descending towards the runway at the required angle. It is important to closely monitor the descent path and make adjustments to ensure a more accurate approach. Encouraging pilots to pay careful attention to the descent rate and use all available tools to maintain the correct glideslope.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, the threshold height was significantly above the target and the landing flare was very poor. It is crucial to aim for a smooth touchdown at the correct threshold height to ensure a safe and comfortable landing. Encouraging pilots to practice their landing flares and gauge the correct height for a successful touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, it is positive to note that the touchdown rate was smooth and the speed was on target. However, the touchdown point was 254 ft beyond the touchdown zone, which indicates the need for better judgment and precision during the touchdown phase. Encouraging pilots to focus on hitting the touchdown point accurately to improve landing performance.
Additionally, the runway touchdown position was 14 ft from the centerline, highlighting the importance of maintaining proper alignment during touchdown. Ensuring that the aircraft is centered on the runway will contribute to a smoother landing and prevent any veering off course.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was 17 ft from the centerline. It is important to maintain a straight path during rollout to ensure safe taxiing and avoid any potential runway incursions. Encouraging pilots to practice runway alignment and use all available cues to maintain a consistent path.
Overall, with some adjustments and practice in key areas such as descent path, landing flare, touchdown precision, runway alignment, and rollout alignment, pilots can strive to improve their landing score and overall performance. Keep up the good work and continue to focus on continuous improvement in all phases of landing. Safe flying!
