MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
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 9,870 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,342 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
First and foremost, I want to acknowledge the effort and skill that went into achieving a landing score of 79.1%. This demonstrates a solid foundation and capability as a pilot. However, it is also important to address the areas that need improvement in order to enhance safety and efficiency during future landings.
In the Approach Phase, it was noted that there was a poor descent path above the glideslope limit. This could have potentially led to a high approach speed and increased workload during the landing phase. It is crucial to maintain proper descent profiles to ensure a stable approach and landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, the threshold height being excessively over target indicates a need for better judgment and altitude management during the final stages of landing. Additionally, having a very poor landing flare and poor bank angle stability can result in hard landings and potential runway excursions. Focus on maintaining a smooth and controlled descent to ensure a softer touchdown.
During the Touchdown Phase, the heavy touchdown rate and slightly above target speed suggest a need to refine your approach speed control and flare technique. Landing too hard can cause unnecessary wear and tear on the aircraft and compromise passenger comfort. Aim for a smooth touchdown within the designated touchdown zone to improve landing accuracy.
Furthermore, landing with a 4 kn tailwind is a significant concern as it can increase landing distance and compromise control during touchdown. It is crucial to always adhere to wind limitations and prioritize safety above all else.
In the Rollout Phase, maintaining proper runway alignment is crucial for safe taxiing and to prevent runway incursions. A deviation of 24 ft from the centerline should be corrected to ensure smooth and efficient taxiing.
Overall, I encourage you to focus on improving descent path management, landing flare technique, speed control, and maintaining proper alignment during the landing phases. Your dedication to continuous improvement will undoubtedly lead to enhanced performance and safety in future landings. Keep up the good work and never stop striving for excellence in your aviation skills.
