Improve the touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate 1,413 fpm, more than the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 896 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 896 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 40 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from HE32 Al Mansurah Airbase, the aircraft began its journey with a smooth departure roll on runway 31. The takeoff distance of 1,071 meters, covering 37% of the runway, was achieved at a liftoff speed of 137 knots. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 33°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots, contributed to a stable and efficient takeoff.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute level, it reached an altitude of 37,011 feet above sea level, a significant increase of 36,212 feet from its initial altitude of 799 feet. This climb phase, which lasted 13 minutes and covered 79 nautical miles, was a testament to the aircraft's impressive climb capabilities. The enroute level cruise phase that followed, which lasted 180 minutes and covered 1,311 nautical miles, was characterized by a stable and efficient flight profile. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 36,980 feet to 14,004 feet in 13 minutes and covering 70 nautical miles. This was followed by a brief level cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes and covering 17 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its final descent.
The final approach to runway 04 at LFLG Aérodrome de Grenoble Le Versoud was executed from the south west, with a heading of 46.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,692 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 40 meters and a touchdown speed of 120 knots. However, the touchdown rate was slightly higher than expected at -549 feet per minute. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, completing the flight with a total distance of 1,515 nautical miles and a fuel consumption of 3,752 kilograms. The entire flight, which lasted 224 minutes, was characterized by a stable and efficient flight profile, with good runway rollout alignment and a smooth taxiing phase.
The final approach to runway 04 at LFLG Aérodrome de Grenoble Le Versoud from the south west, heading 46.0° at 4 nm and 1,692 ft agl, was executed with good approach quality. The aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. However, the threshold speed of 121 kt was significantly above the target, indicating a slightly aggressive approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 120 kt was fast, resulting in a very hard touchdown rate of -549 fpm. The touchdown distance of 40 m was good, but the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a wind of 9 kt at 310°, contributed to a moderate crosswind component of 9 kt and a negligible tailwind of 1 kt.
The total landing distance of 366 m, accounting for 41% of the runway length, was reasonable. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a stable and controlled path along the centreline. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 94.4%.
