Touchdown 684 ft in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 1.5 ft off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Landing and flare profile at 36 %, Threshold speed at 51 kn was well below target, take care not to stall. at 60 %, −2.82 points
Pattern Base Leg — Heading -24.6 ° at 0 %, −2.14 points
Departure Roll — taxi light on should off; g force 0.04 to 1.00 g at 59 %, −1.56 points

Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

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.

Landing Summary

Overall, it seems like the landing had a few areas that could use improvement, but there were also some positive aspects to note.

In the Approach Phase, it was great to see excellent heading alignment and below-target speed. However, the unstable glideslope alignment is something to work on to ensure a smoother approach in the future. Be mindful of maintaining a safe airspeed to avoid stalling.

During the Landing Phase, it is important to increase the threshold height to ensure a safe touchdown. The poor landing flare could be improved upon with more practice and attention to technique.

In the Touchdown Phase, it is great to hear that the touchdown rate, speed, and distance were all on target. Keep up the good work in these areas.

Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, it is important to maintain runway alignment to ensure a safe and smooth exit from the runway.

Overall, continue practicing and refining your landing techniques to improve stability and consistency. Remember to always prioritize safety and stay attentive to all phases of the landing process. Good luck in your future landings!
