Flight Score
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 0.4 ft, 11 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,803 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 257 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from Tabarka-Aïn Draham International Airport, where the aircraft accelerated down runway 27 and lifted off at a speed of 79 kt after a takeoff distance of 433 m, which accounted for 15% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 7,902 ft asl after a vertical gain of 6,926 ft in 7 minutes. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 31 minutes and covered a distance of 91 nm. The aircraft then began its descent, initially from 7,899 ft asl to 4,013 ft asl in 3 minutes, before entering a series of short level cruises and descents as it navigated towards its destination, Cagliari Elmas Airport. The final approach to runway 32 was made from the south east, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 63 kt and a touchdown distance of 253 m, which was 45% of the runway length.
The landing was characterized by a firm touchdown rate of -378 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 m from the centreline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, where it was secured after a total flight distance of 150 nm and a fuel consumption of 215 kg. The taxiing phase took 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nm. Overall, the flight was completed in 62 minutes, with the aircraft performing well within the expected parameters.
The aircraft touched down on runway 32 at LIEE Cagliari Elmas Airport with a firm touchdown rate of -378 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 63 kt was within the acceptable range, and the threshold speed of 65 kt was also well-managed, demonstrating good control of the aircraft's energy state. The touchdown distance of 253 m was satisfactory, considering the runway length of 2,801 m.
The approach quality was good, with a stable and controlled descent from 1,236 ft agl at 4 nm from the runway. The aircraft maintained a heading of 318.0 °, aligning with the runway centreline. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 m from the centreline, which may be attributed to minor deviations in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light headwind of 1 kt, did not significantly impact the landing.
The rollout phase was executed well, with the aircraft maintaining a very good alignment with the runway centreline. The total landing distance of 1,273 m, which accounted for 45% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 98.3% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot.
