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 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 1,990 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,990 m of the 2,133 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 637 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the A339 began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway at MWCR Owen Roberts International Airport, covering less than 1 nm in 3 minutes. The departure roll took place on runway 08, with a takeoff distance of 1,679 m, representing 74% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 166 kn, with local weather conditions showing a temperature of 30°C and no wind.
During the enroute climb, the aircraft ascended from 943 ft asl to 41,073 ft asl, covering 137 nm in 22 minutes. The level cruise portion of the flight began 23 miles east of MUCL Vilo Acuña International Airport and lasted 11 minutes, covering 216 nm.
The descent phase of the journey started 26 miles west of 1FA4 Coba Island Resort, with the aircraft descending from 40,967 ft asl to 10,740 ft asl in 21 minutes, covering 128 nm. Another brief level cruise session began 2 miles southwest of 0FA1 Ott's Landing Airport, covering 10 nm in 2 minutes.
The next descent began 2 miles southwest of Ona, with the aircraft descending from 10,002 ft asl to 1,998 ft asl in 7 minutes, covering 31 nm. A final level cruise segment began overhead 48X Airport, lasting 8 minutes and covering 13 nm.
The landing took place on runway 14 at KSRQ Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, with a touchdown speed of 131 kn and VSI of -334 ft/m. The total landing distance was 1,901 m, representing 89% of the runway. After landing, the taxi to the parking area took 1 minute to complete.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 544 nm over 95 minutes, consuming 8,059 kg of fuel.
Firstly, congratulations on achieving a landing score of 70.4%! This shows that you have a good foundation in aircraft control and landing procedures. Let's break down the different phases of your landing and see where there is room for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, it's great to hear that you had excellent glideslope alignment. This is crucial for a safe and smooth landing. However, it seems that your speed was excessively high. Maintaining the correct approach speed is important for a safe touchdown, so be sure to review the recommended approach speeds for your aircraft and make adjustments as necessary.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's positive to note that you had a good threshold height, indicating that you were at the correct altitude for landing. However, the very poor landing flare suggests that you may have flared too late or too abruptly, leading to a hard touchdown. Proper flare technique is essential for a smooth landing, so be sure to practice and focus on timing and smoothness in your flare.
In the Touchdown Phase, the hard touchdown rate and excessively high speed suggest that you may need to work on your flare and speed control in the moments just before touchdown. Additionally, landing 213 meters beyond the touchdown zone and 28.4 meters from the centerline indicates that your touchdown point and alignment could use improvement. Make sure to focus on aiming for the correct touchdown zone and maintaining runway alignment during the touchdown phase.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, being 28.8 meters from the centerline suggests that you may need to focus on maintaining runway alignment during the rollout. This can be achieved through careful rudder and steering control as you decelerate and taxi off the runway.
Overall, your landing score of 70.4% is a good starting point, but there are areas where you can make improvements. Take the feedback from each phase of the landing and work on specific techniques to enhance your performance. Keep practicing and reviewing your procedures to continue refining your skills and achieving smoother landings in the future. Great job on your landing, and keep up the good work!
