What went well

Touched down at 109 ft/m — a soft arrival
Touchdown 40 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 0.00 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Departure Climb 1 — stall warning; Heading variation -28.2 ° at 0 %, speed limits at 0 %, −22.37 points
Arrival Landing — Landing and flare profile at 0 %, −3.00 points
Arrival Final 1 — Approach angle 0.2 ° at 0 %, Heading variation 0.4 ° at 82 %, −2.05 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.
