Shorten the long landing
Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

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 152 m above the runway. The 305 m gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,838 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 935 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
It's clear from the detailed analysis that there are several areas for improvement in the aircraft landing performance. Firstly, during the Approach Phase, there were issues with the glideslope alignment, heading alignment, and excessive speed. These factors can significantly impact the overall landing quality and should be addressed to ensure a smoother approach.
In the Landing Phase, while the threshold height was good, there were concerns with the landing flare, heading alignment, and bank angle stability. These are crucial aspects of a successful landing and require attention to enhance the overall performance of the aircraft's touchdown.
During the Touchdown Phase, although the touchdown rate was smooth, the excessively high speed and long touchdown point indicate the need for better speed management and touchdown precision. Additionally, the touchdown position being far from the centreline and using more than 50% of the available runway suggests inconsistent performance that needs improvement.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being significantly off-centre highlights the need for better control and alignment during the final phase of the landing. Improving these aspects will lead to a more precise and controlled landing, ultimately improving the overall landing score.
Despite the challenges identified in the analysis, it's important to approach these areas of improvement with a positive attitude and determination to enhance landing performance. By focusing on improving glideslope and heading alignment, speed management, touchdown precision, and runway alignment, the aircraft landing score can be significantly increased in future flights. With dedication and practice, there is great potential for enhancing skills and achieving better landing outcomes. Keep up the hard work and strive for excellence in every aspect of the landing process.
