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.

Landing Summary

First of all, congratulations on successfully landing the aircraft despite facing some challenges during the different phases of the landing process.

Let's break down the different areas of improvement identified in the analysis:

  1. The Approach Phase: It is important to ensure proper descent path is followed within the glideslope limits and maintain the target speed. Focus on maintaining a steady descent towards the runway to avoid descending too rapidly or slowly.

  2. The Landing Phase: Work on adjusting the threshold height to be closer to the target and improve the landing flare technique for smoother touchdown. Keep an eye on the bank angle stability during the final stages of landing to ensure a more stable approach.

  3. The Touchdown Phase: While the touchdown rate was smooth, pay attention to reducing the landing speed to within the recommended limits. Aim to touchdown closer to the designated touchdown zone and work on aligning with the runway centreline for a more precise landing.

  4. The Rollout Phase: Strive to maintain runway alignment closer to the centreline for a more controlled rollout after touchdown.

Overall, it's clear that there are areas that can be refined in your landing technique. Remember, practice makes perfect, so continue to hone your skills and focus on improving in the areas highlighted in the analysis. Keep up the good work and stay determined to enhance your performance in future landings. Well done on managing a 13 knot crosswind during the landing – that's no easy feat! With dedication and practice, you will surely see progress in your aircraft landing scores. Good luck!
