Reduce your height at the threshold
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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 821 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 821 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 85 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, this aircraft landing demonstrated a mix of areas for improvement and areas of excellence. During the approach phase, there were some challenges with the descent path being below the glideslope limit and poor heading alignment. Additionally, the speed was below target, which could have increased the risk of stalling. However, it is important to acknowledge these issues as opportunities for growth and improvement, rather than shortcomings. By recognizing these areas for enhancement, pilots can focus on refining their skills to ensure safer and more efficient landings in the future.
Moving on to the landing phase, there were some notable deficiencies, such as the excessively low threshold height and poor landing flare. It is crucial for pilots to prioritize proper landing techniques in order to ensure a safe and smooth touchdown. Additionally, maintaining proper heading and bank angle stability during landing is essential for a successful and controlled landing. By continuing to practice and hone these skills, pilots can work towards achieving more consistent and precise landings.
Despite these challenges, the touchdown phase showcased some positive aspects. The touchdown rate was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to successfully navigate the landing process. Furthermore, the speed was on target, indicating good control and precision during the approach. Additionally, the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position being 7.0 m from the centerline are both commendable achievements that show the pilot's proficiency in executing a successful landing.
Finally, during the rollout phase, the runway alignment being 7.5 m from the centerline is an area that can be improved upon. Maintaining proper alignment during the rollout phase is essential for a smooth exit from the runway and ensuring the safe navigation of the aircraft post-landing.
In conclusion, while there were some areas for improvement during this aircraft landing, such as the approach phase descent path, landing flare, and runway alignment, it is important to focus on the positive aspects, such as the successful touchdown rate and on-target speed. By addressing these areas for improvement with dedication and practice, pilots can continue to enhance their skills and strive towards achieving safer and more proficient landings in the future.
