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.
Side view — the last 1,021 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,021 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 816 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, it sounds like there were some challenges during the approach, landing, and touchdown phases of the aircraft landing. However, there are opportunities for improvement for future landings.
What went well: - The speed was well above the target during the approach phase, which is generally a positive aspect as it ensures that the aircraft is not too slow. - The runway alignment was fair during the rollout phase.
What didn't go so well: - The descent path above the glideslope limit during the approach phase is concerning as it could indicate a potential lack of precision and accuracy. - The excessively high threshold height during the landing phase can be risky and could potentially lead to a hard landing. - The heavy touchdown rate and bouncing three times upon touchdown during the touchdown phase are indicators of a need for smoother and more controlled landings.
Recommendations for improvement: - Focus on maintaining a proper descent path and heading alignment during the approach phase to ensure a smoother transition into the landing phase. - Work on reducing the threshold height during the landing phase to improve overall landing performance. - Practice landing flares to ensure a softer touchdown and reduce the risk of bouncing. - Work on reducing touchdown rate and maintaining target speed to improve overall landing performance and runway utilization.
Remember, every landing is a learning opportunity. By addressing these areas for improvement, you can work towards achieving smoother landings in the future. Keep practicing and refining your skills to become a more proficient pilot.
