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 2,319 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,319 m of the 3,002 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 697 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, the aircraft landing score of 90.7% is quite impressive and showcases the pilot's skill and competency during the different phases of the landing process. Let's break down the analysis to understand the strengths and areas for improvement:
Approach Phase: The glideslope alignment was excellent, indicating that the aircraft was descending at the correct angle towards the runway. This is crucial for a safe and smooth landing.
Landing Phase: The good threshold height suggests that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the very poor landing flare is an area of concern. The landing flare is the crucial moment when the pilot smoothly transitions the aircraft from descent to level flight just before touchdown. This can affect the landing smoothness and potentially lead to a hard landing.
Touchdown Phase: The smooth touchdown rate and on-target speed are positive aspects of the landing. However, the touchdown point being 285m beyond the touchdown zone indicates that the aircraft touched down further along the runway than desired. Additionally, the runway touchdown position being 1.7m from the centerline shows a slight deviation from the desired alignment.
Rollout Phase: The runway alignment being 7.7m from the centerline suggests that there was some deviation during the rollout phase. Maintaining runway alignment is important for safe taxiing and clearing the runway efficiently.
In conclusion, while the overall landing score is commendable, there are specific areas, such as the landing flare and deviation during touchdown and rollout, that could be improved upon to enhance the overall landing performance. It is important to focus on consistent training and practice to ensure more consistent and precise landings in the future. Keep up the good work and continue striving for excellence in every phase of the landing process!
