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 3,312 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 760 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
First of all, I want to start by acknowledging the overall score of 84.4%, which shows that there were some positive aspects of the aircraft landing. However, there are definitely areas that need improvement in order to achieve a higher score and ensure a safe landing for all passengers and crew.
In the Approach Phase, it is concerning that the descent path was below the glideslope limit. This indicates that there may have been issues with altitude control and the aircraft may have been descending too quickly. It is important for pilots to maintain a stable descent path in order to ensure a safe and smooth approach to the runway.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is concerning that the threshold height was well below target and there was a very poor landing flare. The threshold height is crucial for ensuring a safe touchdown on the runway, and a poor landing flare can result in a hard landing and potentially damage to the aircraft. It is important for pilots to practice proper landing techniques to ensure a smooth and safe touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, it is concerning that the touchdown rate was hard and the speed was slightly above target. Additionally, the touchdown point was significantly beyond the designated touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position was off centerline. These factors indicate that there were issues with alignment and speed control during the landing. It is important for pilots to carefully monitor their speed and alignment during the landing phase to ensure a safe touchdown.
Lastly, it is concerning that the aircraft landed with a 7 kn tailwind. Landing with a tailwind can increase the landing distance and make it more challenging to control the aircraft during touchdown. It is important for pilots to always be aware of wind conditions and make appropriate adjustments to ensure a safe landing.
In conclusion, while there were some positive aspects of the aircraft landing, such as the overall score of 84.4%, there are definitely areas that need improvement. It is important for pilots to focus on maintaining a stable descent path, proper threshold height, smooth landing flare, precise touchdown point and alignment, appropriate speed control, and being mindful of wind conditions. By addressing these areas, pilots can improve their landing technique and ensure a safe and successful landing for all onboard.
