What went well

Touched down at 941 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 168 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 0.97 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Departure Roll — landing lights off should be on, then strobe light off should be on; Liftoff speed was 64 kn at 56 %, Runway alignment max 5.63 m at 66 %, −4.20 points
Arrival Landing — at 0 %, bank angle up to 4.8 ° at 0 %, −3.64 points
Arrival Final 1 — bank angle up to 7.4 ° at 0 %, Approach angle -3.0 ° at 16 %, −3.39 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.
