What went well

Touched down at -96 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 0.15 m off the centreline, no bounce
Rollout controlled — 40 % of the runway used

What held you back

Pattern Downwind — Average altitude 90.2 m agl at 0 %, Heading -16.5 ° at 23 %, −5.90 points
Pattern Crosswind — Heading -42.6 ° at 0 %, −5.00 points
Arrival Landing — Landing and flare profile at 0 %, −3.86 points

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 report
Landing on runway 30 at EGPK Prestwick in the Piper PA-24 Comanche
Landing Score 82.62 %
Landing Summary

Overall, your aircraft landing score of 82.6% shows that there were some areas for improvement, but there were also some positive aspects to highlight.

Starting with the Approach Phase, it is clear that the descent path above the glideslope limit needs to be addressed in order to ensure a smoother approach. Additionally, keeping your speed slightly above target may have affected the overall landing quality.

Moving on to the Landing Phase, the significantly above target threshold height and poor landing flare are areas that you should focus on improving. These factors can greatly impact the smoothness and safety of the landing.

The Touchdown Phase, on the other hand, showed some positive results with an excellent touchdown rate and on-target speed. However, landing 426 m beyond the touchdown zone indicates a need to work on precision and accuracy in this phase.

Finally, in the Rollout Phase, it is encouraging to see that your runway alignment was very good. This indicates good control and accuracy during the rollout process.

In conclusion, while there are areas that need improvement, such as descent path, threshold height, and landing flare, there are also aspects of your landing that were executed well, such as touchdown rate and runway alignment. Keep practicing and focusing on these areas of improvement to enhance your overall landing performance. With dedication and effort, you can work towards achieving even better scores in the future. Good luck!
