Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

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.

Landing Summary

While this aircraft landing had several areas that could be improved upon, it's important to recognize the positive aspects as well. The approach phase showed great heading alignment and some improvement in speed, which is commendable.

Moving on to the landing phase, it's clear that there were some areas that need work, such as the threshold height being too low and the poor landing flare. However, the touchdown rate was perfect, which is a positive sign.

In the touchdown phase, the touchdown point being 56 m beyond the touchdown zone is something to analyze and work on for future landings. Additionally, the speed being above target is something that can be adjusted with practice and attention to detail.

Finally, in the rollout phase, the runway alignment being 4.3 m from centerline is an area that can be improved upon with practice and focus on maintaining alignment.

Overall, while there are some areas for improvement, there are also positive aspects to build upon. With dedication to training and focus on key areas, this aircraft landing can be improved in the future. Keep practicing and learning from each landing to continue to grow and become a stronger pilot.
