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 5,632 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,516 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was conducted on a PA34T Seneca V aircraft. The pre-flight taxiing from the parking area to the runway took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll from runway 27 at KPCW Carl R Keller Field was successful, with a takeoff distance of 1,549 feet, which accounted for 29% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 88 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 92°F and a wind speed of 13 knots at 219°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead KPCW Carl R Keller Field, Port Clinton, Ohio, and ascended from 1,339 feet above sea level to 8,542 feet above sea level, a total increase of 7,203 feet, in just 4 minutes and covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles northeast of Williston, Ohio, and lasted for 51 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 257 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 8,741 feet above sea level to 2,760 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,982 feet, in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 42 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase was restarted 2 miles southwest of Endeavor, Wisconsin, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 2,314 feet above sea level to 1,769 feet above sea level, a decrease of 544 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then climbed from 1,774 feet above sea level to 2,298 feet above sea level, an increase of 524 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles southeast of WS68 Krist Island Airport Montello, Wisconsin, and lasted for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 2,299 feet above sea level to 1,661 feet above sea level, a decrease of 639 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead WS17 Pioneer Airport Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The aircraft landed on runway 27 at KOSH Wittman Regional Airport, which had a length of 5,632 feet. The threshold height at 61 feet above ground level was above the target, and the threshold speed was good at 88 knots. The touchdown point was 702 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 67 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was fair at -270 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 8 knots at 269°. The crosswind component was 0 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 3,287 feet, which accounted for 58% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The post-flight taxiing from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 368 nautical miles, which was covered in 84 minutes, and the aircraft used 381 pounds of
The PA34T Seneca V aircraft successfully landed on runway 27 at KOSH Wittman Regional Airport, achieving a score of 87.0%. The landing was executed under favorable weather conditions, with a temperature of 79°F and a gentle headwind of 8 knots from a direction of 269°.
The aircraft's approach to the runway was well-managed, with a threshold speed of 88 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was 702 feet beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run, but the touchdown speed of 67 knots was good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control throughout the landing.
The touchdown rate of -270 feet per minute was fair, which may indicate a slight loss of altitude during the landing. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.
The total landing distance of 3,287 feet was 58% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the wind conditions. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and over-run distance.
