What went well

Touched down at -86 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 1.07 m off the centreline, no bounce
1.08 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 69 %, −0.38 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 736 m at 70 %, −0.19 points

Next time

Arrival

Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 24 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.

What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 24 ft down to touchdown.

Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 24 ft to touchdown.

See 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.
