Shorten the long landing
Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

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 152 m above the runway. The 305 m gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,025 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 392 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, the aircraft landing score of 85.2% shows a good performance with room for improvement.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it is important to address the descent path below glideslope limit and the excessively high speed. Maintaining proper descent path and speed control is crucial for a safe and smooth landing. It is recommended to ensure adherence to glideslope limits and maintain a proper approach speed to improve overall performance in this phase.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is commendable that the threshold height and landing flare were executed well. These are important elements in ensuring a safe touchdown. However, the excessively high speed during this phase is a concern and should be addressed to enhance the overall landing quality.
In the Touchdown Phase, it is positive to note that the touchdown rate was good and the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone was achieved. However, the excessively high speed and the deviation of the runway touchdown position from the centerline should be looked into for future improvements.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being 6.5 m from the centerline indicates a need for better control during the rollout. Improving runway alignment will contribute to a smoother rollout and overall landing performance.
In conclusion, while the aircraft landing score of 85.2% demonstrates a decent performance, there are areas that need attention for enhancement. By addressing issues such as descent path control, speed management, runway alignment, and touchdown positioning, the overall landing quality can be improved. Keep up the good work and continue to strive for excellence in aircraft landings.
