What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 38 %, Threshold height at 81 ft agl was significantly above target at 42 %, −2.50 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -376 fpm at 30 %, g force 0.98 to 1.79 g at 69 %, −1.30 points

Next time

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

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 Score 84.81 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna 172 executed the final approach to runway 06 at EGXG Leeds East Airport from the south-west on a heading of 55.0° at 4 nm and 998 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits. Local weather was 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 243°, crosswind 0 kt and tailwind 2 kt.

At threshold the aircraft was 81 ft agl, which was significantly above the target height, and the threshold speed was 63 kt, slightly above the target.

Touchdown occurred 427 m down the runway, with a speed of 60 kt that was a little fast and a firm touchdown rate of minus 376 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The total landing distance was 598 m, representing 32 % of the 1,877 m runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.

To refine future landings, aim to achieve the intended threshold height to reduce the excess altitude at crossing and adjust the flare to moderate the touchdown rate, thereby smoothing the firm touchdown while preserving the excellent alignment already demonstrated.
