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 2,014 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,014 m of the 3,312 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 823 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
First and foremost, it is important to recognize that achieving an aircraft landing score of 84.9% is a commendable accomplishment. Despite facing some challenges during the various phases of the landing process, there are several positive aspects to highlight.
During the Approach Phase, although there were issues with the descent path being above the glideslope limit, it is essential to acknowledge that the landing score indicates a strong overall performance. This suggests that there were likely other factors in play that contributed to the successful completion of the landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, while it is noted that the threshold height was significantly above the target and the landing flare was very poor, it is encouraging to see that the touchdown speed was on target. This demonstrates a level of control and precision that is crucial for a safe and effective landing.
In the Touchdown Phase, it is evident that there were areas for improvement, such as the hard touchdown rate and the touchdown point being beyond the designated zone. However, the fact that the touchdown speed was on target shows a level of consistency and adherence to protocols that is commendable.
It is important to consider the warnings highlighted in the analysis, such as the aircraft landing with a 4 kn tailwind and the runway alignment being off center. These are crucial factors to address in order to ensure the safety and efficiency of future landings.
Overall, while there were areas that could be improved upon, it is essential to celebrate the achievements and strengths highlighted in the landing score. By acknowledging what went well and identifying areas for growth, pilots can continue to refine their skills and enhance their performance in future landings. Keep up the good work and continue striving for excellence in each phase of the landing process.
