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 1,095 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,095 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 57 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
While this aircraft landing experienced some issues throughout the various phases, such as poor descent path and landing flare, it is important to acknowledge the areas where the pilot excelled, such as heading alignment and runway alignment during the approach and rollout phases. It is clear that there are areas for improvement, such as maintaining the proper descent path and improving landing flare technique.
Despite the challenges faced during the landing, it is important to remember that every landing is an opportunity for growth and learning. The pilot should take this experience as a chance to reflect on what went wrong and how to improve for future landings. It is also important to recognize the positive aspects of the landing, such as the excellent heading alignment and runway alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the pilot should be encouraged to continue practicing and refining their landing technique. By focusing on areas of improvement and building on their strengths, they can strive to achieve smoother and more precise landings in the future. With dedication and persistence, the pilot can work towards mastering the art of landing an aircraft with confidence and precision.
