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 Score 80.68 %
Landing Summary

Overall, your aircraft landing score of 80.7% indicates good performance but with room for improvement in several key areas.

During the Approach Phase, it was noted that the descent path was above the glideslope limit and the speed was well above target. This suggests that adjustments should be made to ensure a smoother descent and to adhere more closely to the designated speed for a safer approach.

In the Landing Phase, there were a few significant issues identified. The threshold height was significantly above the target, indicating a need for better alignment control. Additionally, the landing flare was described as very poor, which could lead to a harder landing and potential damage to the aircraft.

Moving on to the Touchdown Phase, while the touchdown rate was considered fair, it was noted that the speed was too high. This is a critical aspect that should be addressed promptly to avoid excessive wear on the aircraft. Furthermore, landing 160m beyond the touchdown zone and 2.6m off the runway centreline is concerning and could lead to safety hazards in future landings.

An important note from the evaluation is the fact that a 7 knot tailwind was present during the landing. It is crucial to always land with a headwind whenever possible to ensure optimal safety and control during touchdown.

Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, it was recorded that the runway alignment was 8.3m off the centreline. Proper alignment is essential for a safe and smooth landing, and adjustments should be made to correct this deviation in future landings.

In conclusion, while your aircraft landing score of 80.7% is a generally positive result, there are several areas that require attention and improvement to ensure safer and more efficient landings in the future. It is recommended to focus on descent path, speed control, flare technique, touchdown accuracy, tailwind management, and runway alignment for better results in future flight operations. Keep up the good work and continue striving for excellence in your aircraft landings.
