Flight Score
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 1,537 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,537 m of the 2,180 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 653 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Honda HA420 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LFLP Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport. This process took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 04, with a takeoff distance of 809 meters, which accounted for 72% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 121 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it started its enroute climb from an initial altitude of 2,945 feet above sea level (asl) to 35,700 ft asl, an increase of 32,755 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles. The climb began overhead Pringy in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 7 miles east of Val-d'Isere and lasted for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 141 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 39 miles northwest of Rogliano in the Corse region of France. The aircraft descended from 35,531 ft asl to 660 ft asl, a decrease of 34,870 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 97 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another climb phase, this time from 649 ft asl to 3,928 ft asl, an increase of 3,279 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. This climb began overhead Ajaccio in the Corse region of France.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Appietto and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft began its descent phase once again, this time from 3,538 ft asl to 2,974 ft asl, a decrease of 564 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The descent started 9 miles southwest of Villanova in the Corse region of France.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 9 miles west of Coti-Chiavari and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. Finally, the aircraft began its descent phase once more, this time from 2,873 ft asl to 1,320 ft asl, a decrease of 1,553 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The descent started 2 miles west of Coti-Chiavari in the Corse region of France.
The final approach to runway 02 at LFKJ Ajaccio-Napoléon Bonaparte Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 25.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,296 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 277 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 95 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -175 feet per minute, also good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 10 knots at 272°.
The total landing distance was 1,496 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 333 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 93 minutes. The aircraft used 648 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Honda HA420 aircraft successfully landed at LFKJ Ajaccio-Napoléon Bonaparte Airport, achieving a high score of 96.3%. The final approach to runway 02 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 25.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,296 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The threshold speed of 107 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown point was 277 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within the acceptable limits.
The touchdown speed of 95 knots was also good, indicating that the pilot was able to smoothly transition the aircraft from the approach to the landing phase. The touchdown rate of -175 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent during the landing phase. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 272°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. Despite these challenging weather conditions, the pilot was able to successfully land the aircraft, demonstrating their skill and experience.
The total landing distance of 1,496 meters was 69% of the runway length, which is a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to smoothly transition the aircraft from the landing phase to the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
