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 for a circuit: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
Side view — the last 682 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 682 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 7 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, it sounds like there were both areas of improvement and success during the various phases of the aircraft landing.
What went well: The touchdown rate, speed, distance, and runway alignment during the Touchdown and Rollout Phases were all positive points to note. These elements are crucial for a safe and smooth landing.
What didn't go so well: The Approach Phase had issues with descent path, heading alignment, and speed, while the Landing Phase had a low threshold height and poor landing flare. These are areas that need improvement to ensure a safer and more efficient landing in the future.
Recommendations: To improve the Approach Phase, focus on maintaining a better descent path, heading alignment, and speed to meet glideslope limits. During the Landing Phase, work on achieving a higher threshold height, smoother landing flare, and avoiding touchdown bounce. Continuing to maintain good speed, distance, and runway alignment during the Touchdown and Rollout Phases will ensure a successful landing. Practice and feedback from instructors can help address these areas for improvement. Remember, each landing is a learning opportunity to enhance your skills as a pilot. Keep up the good work!
