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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,103 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,315 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, achieving an aircraft landing score of 87.5% is a commendable achievement. While there were some areas where improvements could be made, there were also aspects of the landing that were executed very well.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it is important to address the poor descent path below the glideslope limit and the excessive speed above the target. These are critical factors in ensuring a safe and smooth landing. Moving forward, focusing on maintaining a stable descent path and keeping the speed within the target range will significantly improve the overall approach phase of the landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is noted that the threshold height was well below target and there was a very poor landing flare. Improving the flare technique and ensuring the aircraft reaches the desired threshold height will help in achieving a smoother touchdown.
On a positive note, the Touchdown Phase saw an excellent touchdown rate, with the speed on target and the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was very good. These factors indicate a level of proficiency in executing the landing once the aircraft made contact with the runway.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was very good. Maintaining proper runway alignment is crucial for a safe and efficient rollout after landing.
In conclusion, while there were areas for improvement in the approach and landing phases, the performance in the touchdown and rollout phases was commendable. By focusing on maintaining a stable descent path, controlling speed, improving flare technique, and ensuring correct threshold height, the overall landing score can be further improved. Keep up the good work and continue to strive for excellence in aircraft landings.
