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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,438 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,500 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 33 at KASE Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (Sardy Field), with a takeoff distance of 3,437 feet, which was 49% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 126 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 62°F and a wind of 1 knot at 270°. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 8,667 feet above sea level to 12,995 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,328 feet in 3 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile northeast of 4CO0 Glen-Aspen Airport Carbondale, and lasted 5 minutes, covering 28 nautical miles. The aircraft then climbed again, this time from 13,540 feet above sea level to 18,004 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,464 feet in 3 minutes, covering 24 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north of Fairplay and lasted 12 minutes, covering 79 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent 9 miles southeast of Fountain, where it descended from 17,998 feet above sea level to 7,098 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,901 feet in 6 minutes, covering 22 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 1 mile northeast of CO09 Youtsey Airport Boone and lasted 3 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 4 miles north of CO09 Youtsey Airport Boone, where it descended from 7,111 feet above sea level to 5,950 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,161 feet in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26L at KPUB Pueblo Memorial Airport was made from the east, heading 268.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,266 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 26L, which had a length of 10,438 feet. The threshold height was above target, and the threshold speed was too high at 135 knots.
The touchdown point was 1,131 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 111 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -493 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 59°F and a wind of 1 knot at 270°.
The total landing distance was 4,255 feet, which was 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 183 nautical miles, and the flight took 45 minutes, using 1,934 pounds of fuel.
The Cessna Longitude aircraft successfully landed at KPUB Pueblo Memorial Airport, but with some areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 268.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 26L, which has a length of 10,438 feet.
However, there were some discrepancies in the landing performance. The threshold height at 67 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high on its approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 135 knots, which could have contributed to the high touchdown speed. The touchdown point was 1,131 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 111 knots was a little fast.
The touchdown rate was also hard at -493 feet per minute (fpm), which may have been due to the high touchdown speed. On the positive side, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a light wind of 1 knot at 270°.
The crosswind was negligible at 0 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The total landing distance was 4,255 feet, which is 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway after touchdown. Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement in terms of approach speed, touchdown speed, and touchdown rate.
