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 3,095 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 396 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
While the aircraft landing score of 80.2% is not ideal, there are several areas in which improvement can be made to achieve a smoother and more accurate landing in the future.
Firstly, the Approach Phase had a poor descent path above the glideslope limit. This means that the aircraft was not descending at the correct rate, possibly leading to a higher approach angle than necessary. Focusing on maintaining the correct descent path and staying within the glideslope limit will help improve this phase of the landing.
Next, the Landing Phase had several areas that need attention. The threshold height was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft was not properly lined up with the runway at the time of touchdown. Additionally, the landing flare was very poor, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown. Working on achieving the correct threshold height and executing a smoother landing flare will lead to a more controlled and gentle touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate was very hard and the speed was slightly above target. Ensuring a softer touchdown and maintaining the correct landing speed will help improve the overall landing quality. Additionally, the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position being 5.5m from the centerline can be worked on to ensure a more precise alignment with the runway.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was 6.8m from the centerline. Improving runway alignment will help in maintaining a straight path down the runway during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, while there are areas that need improvement in each phase of the landing, these are all achievable goals with practice and focus. By analyzing and addressing these specific issues, the aircraft landing score can be raised and a smoother, more accurate landing can be achieved. Keep practicing and focusing on these key points to see improvement in future landings. Good luck!
