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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,694 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 372 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Beechcraft King Air 350A began with a 4-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at LFBO Toulouse-Blagnac Airport. The departure roll on runway 32L covered a distance of 575 meters, which was 16% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 112 knots, with a local temperature of 12°C and wind at 7 knots coming from 280°, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The enroute climb started overhead Cornebarrieu in Occitanie, France, climbing from 1,517 feet above sea level to 26,079 feet above sea level in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began over Boudou in Occitanie, lasting 25 minutes and covering 126 nautical miles.
The descent phase started 1 mile south of Mazeray in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, descending from 26,076 feet above sea level to 3,343 feet above sea level in 22 minutes, covering 88 nautical miles. Another brief level cruise segment took place, starting 1 mile southeast of La Chapelle-Basse-Mer in Pays de la Loire, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The final descent started 1 mile west of Mauves-sur-Loire in Pays de la Loire, descending from 2,877 feet above sea level to 1,864 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles.
The landing occurred on runway 21 at LFRS Nantes Atlantique Airport, with a runway length of 2,694 meters. The height at threshold was 32 feet above ground level, with a speed at threshold of 91 knots. The touchdown point was 369 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 81 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -151 feet per minute. The local weather at the time of landing was 9°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots coming from 210°, resulting in a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance covered was 513 meters, which was 19% of the total runway length. After landing, taxiing back to the parking area took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance for the journey was 264 nautical miles, taking a total of 78 minutes and utilizing 400 kilograms of fuel.
Great job on achieving a landing score of 99.5%! Let's break down your performance in each phase of the landing to see what went really well and where there may be room for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was excellent, indicating a strong ability to maintain the correct descent path towards the runway. Your speed being slightly below target suggests a good control over your aircraft's descent rate, but keep an eye on maintaining optimal speed in future landings.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, your threshold height was good, indicating a successful transition from the approach to the landing phase. The great landing flare shows that you have a good sense of timing and control when it comes to the critical moment of touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, you had a good touchdown rate and maintained the correct speed, which is crucial for a smooth and safe landing. Additionally, your touchdown distance being inside the touchdown zone is impressive and shows a high level of precision. The runway touchdown position being 1.6 meters from the centerline is also very close to the ideal position, indicating strong alignment skills.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was very good, showcasing your ability to maintain a straight path down the runway after touchdown.
Overall, your performance in each phase of the landing was commendable, with strong attention to detail and precision. Keep up the great work and continue to focus on maintaining optimal speed, alignment, and touchdown precision in future landings. With dedication and practice, you can strive for perfection in every aspect of your aircraft landings. Great job on your impressive score of 99.5%!
