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 1,831 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 677 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 03 at N72 Warwick Municipal Airport. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 58 knots. The takeoff distance was 297 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway length.
As the aircraft climbed to a safe altitude, it leveled off and began its enroute level cruise. This initial cruise phase lasted less than a minute and covered a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,001 feet above sea level to 3,508 feet above sea level, a gain of 2,507 feet in just 4 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then leveled off again, this time starting its enroute level cruise 1 mile northwest of NK07 Big Island Airport. This cruise phase lasted 16 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, descending from 3,492 feet above sea level to 2,799 feet above sea level, a decrease of 694 feet in just 2 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then leveled off once more, starting its enroute level cruise 1 mile southwest of Sloatsburg. This cruise phase lasted 23 minutes and covered a distance of 17 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 24 at KTEB Teterboro Airport, flying from the northeast at a heading of 221.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,337 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down 200 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 42 knots. The touchdown rate was also smooth, at -114 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.5 meters. The total landing distance was 772 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking less than a minute to cover a distance of less than a nautical mile. The total flight distance was 45 nautical miles, and the flight used 24 kilograms of fuel. The flight duration was 41 minutes.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at KTEB Teterboro Airport, with a score of 78.2%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 221.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,337 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for a landing on runway 24, which has a length of 1,831 meters.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft's height was significantly above the target, indicating a slight delay in the descent. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 69 knots, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was on track for a smooth landing. The touchdown point was located 200 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to extend the landing distance to ensure a safe touchdown.
The touchdown speed of 42 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -114 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the pilot had managed to control the aircraft's descent effectively. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, which had a minimal impact on the landing. The total landing distance was 772 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot had managed to control the aircraft's descent effectively.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. However, the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a smooth touchdown rate was commendable, and the landing was completed safely.
