Arrival Taxi — peak speed in a turn 20 kt at 58 %, −0.71 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.

Landing Score 91.84 %
Landing Summary

Overall, this aircraft landing had a score of 91.8%, which is a solid result but there are some areas that can be improved upon in future landings.

During the Approach Phase, the glideslope alignment was excellent which indicates good spatial awareness and control of the aircraft. The threshold speed being well above target at 155 knots shows good anticipation and adjustment to ensure a safe landing. These are positive aspects that contributed to the overall score.

Moving onto the Landing Phase, the threshold height was good, suggesting good control and descent rate management. However, the landing flare was very poor, which likely contributed to the touchdown being harder than desired. This is an area to focus on improving for smoother landings in the future.

In the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate was very hard at -514 ft/m, indicating a rough landing. The touchdown speed of 141 knots was a little fast, which could have contributed to the hard landing. Additionally, landing 289 meters beyond the touchdown zone suggests a need for better judgment and adjustment during the approach to ensure landing within the designated area. Despite these issues, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, showcasing good spatial orientation skills.

In conclusion, while this aircraft landing had some strong points such as glideslope alignment and threshold speed, there are areas such as the landing flare, touchdown rate, speed, and point that can be improved upon for better landings in the future. By focusing on these specific areas, pilots can work towards achieving smoother, safer landings with higher scores in their performance evaluations. Keep up the good work and continue to strive for improvement in all aspects of aircraft operations.
