Arrival Landing — Landing and flare profile at 0 %, Threshold speed was well above target at 110 kn. at 86 %, −1.49 points
Departure Roll — Landing Lights at 0 %, Runway alignment max 18.14 m at 48 %, −1.03 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 Summary

Firstly, let's focus on the positive aspects of the aircraft landing score. The approach phase was well executed with good glideslope alignment, and the threshold speed being well above the target is commendable. This indicates good control and precision during the descent towards the runway.

Moving on to the landing phase, the threshold height being slightly above target is not a major concern as it still falls within an acceptable range. However, the poor landing flare is an area that definitely needs improvement. A proper landing flare is crucial for a smooth and safe touchdown, so ensuring that this aspect is worked on in future landings is key.

In the touchdown phase, the touchdown rate being fair is a positive sign, showing a decent level of control during the touchdown. However, the touchdown speed being a little fast at 90 knots is something to watch out for in future landings. It's important to aim for the target touchdown speed to ensure a safe and comfortable landing for passengers and crew.

Additionally, the touchdown point being 155 meters beyond the touchdown zone is a significant deviation and should be addressed. Landing within the designated touchdown zone is essential for safety reasons, so focusing on accurately landing within this zone is crucial.

Lastly, the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position by 4.6 meters from the centerline is another area that could be improved upon. Aligning with the centerline is important for a safe and smooth landing, so ensuring proper alignment in future landings is recommended.

Overall, while there were some areas for improvement in this particular landing, there were also positive aspects to build upon. By focusing on improving the landing flare, touchdown speed, touchdown point, and runway alignment, future landings can be even more successful. Keep practicing and paying attention to these key elements to continue enhancing your aircraft landing skills. You're on the right track, and with dedication and practice, you can strive for even higher landing scores. Good luck!
