What went well

Touched down at -118 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 3.16 m off the centreline, no bounce
1.16 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Landing and flare profile at 0 %, Threshold speed was excessively high at 83 kn. at 50 %, −4.08 points
Departure Climb 3 — Heading variation -8.2 ° at 0 %, bank angle up to 7.8 ° at 85 %, −1.92 points
Arrival Final 1 — Approach angle 4.9 ° at 39 %, −1.07 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 Score 80.34 %
Landing Summary

While the overall aircraft landing score of 80.3% may not be ideal, there are definitely some areas of improvement to focus on.

Starting with the Approach Phase, it is crucial to maintain a proper descent path and stay within glideslope limits. Additionally, reducing speed to a more appropriate level will help in achieving a smoother landing.

Moving on to the Landing Phase, adjusting the threshold height to meet the target and improving the landing flare will result in a more controlled and precise touchdown. Ensuring that the touchdown point is within the designated zone and closer to the centreline will also contribute to a safer landing.

In the Touchdown Phase, while the touchdown rate was smooth, it is important to lower the speed to avoid overshooting the touchdown zone and landing too far down the runway. Moreover, landing with a tailwind can pose risks and it is imperative to land in the direction of the wind whenever possible.

Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, maintaining proper runway alignment is crucial for a safe taxi to the gate. Keeping the aircraft centered on the runway will help in avoiding any potential hazards.

Overall, while there are areas for improvement in the landing process, it is important to see this score as a learning opportunity. By focusing on these specific aspects and making adjustments as needed, future landings can be executed with greater precision and safety. Keep practicing and refining your skills to achieve even higher scores in the future. Good luck!
