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 10,305 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,713 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, this aircraft landing had its ups and downs, but there are definitely some positive aspects to take away from it.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it's great to hear that the heading alignment was on point and speed was on target. These are crucial elements for a successful landing, so it's encouraging to see that these were executed well. However, it is important to work on maintaining a descent path within the glideslope limit to ensure a smoother approach in the future.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's noted that the threshold height was very high and the landing flare was poor. It's important to work on these aspects to ensure a safe and smooth touchdown. Additionally, maintaining a stable bank angle during landing is crucial for a successful landing, so this is definitely an area that could use some improvement.
In the Touchdown Phase, it's great to see that the touchdown rate was good and speed was on target. These are positive indicators that the pilot has good control over the aircraft during this phase. However, landing 247 ft beyond the touchdown zone and 6 ft off centerline can be improved with more practice and focus on precision during the approach and landing.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, maintaining runway alignment is key for a safe and efficient landing. Being 11 ft off centerline is something to work on for future landings.
Overall, this landing had its challenges but also some successes. By focusing on improving aspects such as descent path, landing flare, bank angle stability, precision in touchdown, and runway alignment, the pilot can continue to enhance their skills and strive for a smoother and more precise landing in the future. Keep up the hard work and dedication to improvement!
