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 1,927 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,927 m of the 3,512 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 610 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
It's clear that there were a few areas where improvement is needed in the aircraft landing performance. Let's break down each phase of the landing to understand what went wrong and how it can be improved upon.
In the Approach Phase, the poor descent path above the glideslope limit indicates that the aircraft was too high when approaching the runway. This likely led to the threshold height being well above the target and contributed to the poor landing flare in the Landing Phase. To improve this, pilots should closely monitor their altitude during descent and make gradual adjustments to ensure they are on a stable approach.
During the Landing Phase, it's important to focus on achieving a smooth landing flare to avoid a hard touchdown. This can be accomplished by ensuring the aircraft is in the correct position relative to the runway and making small, precise adjustments to the pitch angle. Additionally, the touchdown point being 167 m beyond the touchdown zone suggests that the pilot may have come in too fast or misjudged the approach. Practice and proper planning can help prevent this in the future.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being 15.2 m from the centerline indicates that there was difficulty maintaining a straight path upon touchdown. Pilots should work on their rudder control and coordination to ensure the aircraft stays aligned with the runway centerline during rollout.
While a landing score of 77.0% may not be ideal, it's important to remember that every landing is an opportunity to learn and improve. By analyzing the areas that need work and actively working on improving them through practice and proper technique, pilots can strive towards achieving higher scores in the future. Keep practicing, stay focused, and don't be discouraged – you have the potential to become a skilled and proficient pilot with dedication and hard work. Happy flying!
