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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,999 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 673 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, this aircraft landing display exhibited strong skills and precision from start to finish. During the Approach Phase, the pilot demonstrated excellent glideslope and heading alignment, as well as maintaining a consistent speed above the target. This shows a high level of proficiency and attention to detail in executing a smooth approach towards the runway.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, while the threshold height was slightly higher than optimal, the pilot executed a solid landing flare, leading to a smooth touchdown. Despite the speed being slightly above target, the touchdown rate was gentle, indicating a controlled descent onto the runway. The fact that the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated zone and the touchdown position was slightly off centerline is a minor discrepancy that can easily be improved with continued practice and focus.
The Rollout Phase saw a very good runway alignment, which suggests strong situational awareness and skill in maintaining control of the aircraft during the critical moments after touchdown. Consistency in runway alignment is crucial for a safe and effective rollout, and the pilot demonstrated proficiency in this aspect of the landing.
Overall, this aircraft landing was a commendable effort, with a few minor areas for improvement. With continued practice and attention to detail, this pilot has the potential to further enhance their skills and achieve even smoother landings in the future. Keep up the good work and continue striving for excellence in every phase of flight.
