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 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 1,059 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,059 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 53 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the SR22 aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at UGSB Batumi International Airport, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Departure roll took place on runway 31, with a takeoff distance of 310 meters, which is 12% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 79 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 229°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, starting overhead UGSB Batumi International Airport. The climb from 559 feet above sea level to 638 feet above sea level, an increase of 80 feet, took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The enroute level cruise phase started overhead UGSB Batumi International Airport and lasted for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 1,396 feet above sea level to 1,899 feet above sea level, an increase of 503 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles. This climb phase was followed by a level cruise phase, which started 8 miles south of Samtredia and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase started 10 miles east of Vani, with the aircraft descending from 1,861 feet above sea level to 1,137 feet above sea level, a decrease of 723 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 7 miles south east of Kutaisi and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The flight continued with several enroute climb phases, including a climb from 1,143 feet above sea level to 2,379 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,236 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles. The aircraft also entered several level cruise phases, including a cruise from 2,376 feet above sea level to 2,860 feet above sea level, an increase of 484 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles.
The final enroute climb phase started 2 miles south west of T'q'ibuli, with the aircraft climbing from 2,946 feet above sea level to 4,077 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,132 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north east of T'q'ibuli and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29 at UGAM Ambrolauri Airport was made from the south west, with the aircraft heading 52.0° at 0 nautical miles and 1,188 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 29 took place at a speed of 82 knots, which was fast, and the touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown rate was also very hard at -528 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 209°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 921 meters, which is 87% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The total
The aircraft in question, a SR22, has completed a landing at UGAM Ambrolauri Airport, with a final approach from the southwest. The approach was initiated at an altitude of 1,188 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft was heading in a direction of 52.0°, which is slightly off from the runway's alignment.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 82 knots, which is considered fast. The touchdown point was also excessively far down the runway, utilizing more than 50% of the available length. This indicates that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before reaching the runway threshold. The threshold height at 144 feet agl was also excessively high, suggesting that the pilot may have been unable to maintain a stable approach.
The threshold speed of 106 knots was also excessively high, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before reaching the runway threshold. The runway touchdown alignment, however, was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 209°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions may have contributed to the difficulties experienced by the pilot during the approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 921 meters was 87% of the available runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was characterized by a number of issues, including a fast touchdown speed, an excessively long touchdown point, and a high threshold speed. However, the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the approach and landing, and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.
