What went well

Touched down at -139 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 50 ft and 142 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 4.1 ft off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Landing and flare profile at 69 %, −0.33 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 2,298 ft at 73 %, −0.18 points
Departure Roll — Runway alignment max 21.0 ft at 88 %, −0.15 points

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.
