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.

One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: six checks at the point nearest 500 ft above the runway after the base turn. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
Side view — the last 1,248 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,248 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 796 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a DV20, taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Once on the runway, the aircraft took off from runway 07 at F62 Hayfork, with a takeoff distance of 444 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 56 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a tailwind of 8 knots. The aircraft then entered a left-hand pattern, with the entry from the runway taking less than 1 nautical mile in 10 seconds. The crosswind leg of the pattern took 31 seconds to complete, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft continued its pattern, it proceeded to the downwind leg, which took 74 seconds to complete and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The base leg turn was a 45-degree angle to the runway, with the aircraft covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The base leg itself took 24 seconds to complete and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The final approach to the runway was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 69.0 degrees at an altitude of 242 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 07 at F62 Hayfork was made with a runway length of 1,248 meters. However, the threshold height at 107 feet agl was excessively over target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 80 knots.
The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed of 56 knots was fast, but the touchdown rate was good at -161 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 276 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 938 meters, which accounted for 75% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centreline. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, taking 11 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 0 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as DV20, has completed a landing at F62 Hayfork, with a final approach to runway 07 from the west. The aircraft's heading during the final approach was 69.0°, and it was at an altitude of 242 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing was conducted on a runway with a length of 1,248 meters. However, the aircraft's performance during the landing was not optimal. The threshold height at 107 feet agl was excessively high, indicating that the aircraft descended too slowly during the final approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was excessively high at 80 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was not properly configured for landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. This indicates that the aircraft touched down too far down the runway, which can increase the risk of running out of runway length and potentially leading to a runway overrun. The touchdown speed of 56 knots was also fast, which can increase the risk of a loss of control or a runway excursion.
Despite the issues with the touchdown, the touchdown rate was good at -161 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly after touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centerline, which can increase the risk of a loss of control or a runway excursion during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 276°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 938 meters, which is 75% of the available runway length.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centerline, which can increase the risk of a loss of control or a runway excursion. Overall, the landing was not optimal, and the aircraft's performance during the final approach and touchdown phases was not satisfactory.
