Arrival Final 1 — Approach angle 1.0 ° at 24 %, bank angle up to 11.0 ° at 79 %, −1.62 points

Top opportunity

Improve the landing

Not the biggest loss in points — the one thing on this flight a check pilot would raise first, and the guide passage for it.

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.
