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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,241 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,241 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 626 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 31 at MYLS Stella Maris Airport. The aircraft, a Beechcraft King Air, took off with a takeoff distance of 62 meters, which was 5% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 104 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and winds of 24 knots at 74 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 18 knots and a tailwind of 16 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of MYLS Stella Maris Airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 2,210 feet above sea level from an initial altitude of 806 feet. This climb was achieved in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, flying at a steady altitude for 3 minutes and covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from an altitude of 2,194 feet to 5,158 feet, an increase of 2,964 feet in just 3 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a descent phase, descending from 5,152 feet to 2,372 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, flying at a steady altitude for 3 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. This cruise phase was followed by a final approach to runway 27 at MYLD Deadman's Cay Airport. The aircraft was heading 279.0 degrees at an altitude of 636 feet above ground level, 0 nautical miles from the airport.
The landing on runway 27 at MYLD Deadman's Cay Airport was characterized by a touchdown point that was 153 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 81 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -102 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of departure, with a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and winds of 24 knots at 74 degrees.
The total landing distance was 919 meters, which was 74% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 36 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 17 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -49 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft King Air successfully landed at MYLD Deadman's Cay Airport, scoring 78.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 279.0° at 0 nm and 636 ft above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 27, which has a length of 1,241 meters.
The threshold height at 88 ft agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than expected when reaching the runway threshold. The threshold speed of 97 kt was maintained, demonstrating good control and adherence to standard procedures. The touchdown point was 153 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance from the intended landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 81 kt was slightly below the threshold speed, resulting in a smooth touchdown rate of -102 fpm. This indicates that the aircraft touched down gently, reducing the risk of damage or injury. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during future landings.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°C and wind speeds of 24 kt at 74°. The crosswind component was 7 kt, while the tailwind component was 23 kt. These conditions may have contributed to the slightly misaligned touchdown.
The total landing distance of 919 meters was 74% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for a safe stop. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating good control and adherence to standard procedures during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but some adjustments may be necessary to improve the accuracy of the touchdown point.
