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 9,837 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,476 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, while the aircraft landing score of 84.2% may not be perfect, there are definitely some areas that can be improved upon to achieve a higher score. Let's break down the different phases of the landing process and provide some constructive feedback:
Approach Phase: The poor descent path above the glideslope limit indicates that the descent was not properly managed, potentially causing the aircraft to be too high above the intended approach path. It is essential for pilots to closely monitor their altitude and make adjustments as needed to ensure a smooth descent towards the runway.
Landing Phase: The threshold height being well above the target suggests that the aircraft was not properly aligned with the runway during the final approach. This can be improved by ensuring precise control of altitude and speed to achieve a stabilized approach. Additionally, a very poor landing flare can result in a hard touchdown and potentially destabilize the landing.
Touchdown Phase: While the touchdown rate was very hard and the speed was slightly above target, it is positive to note that the touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position was very good. This indicates that the pilot was able to successfully bring the aircraft down onto the runway in the correct landing zone.
Rollout Phase: Although the runway alignment was slightly off at 28 feet from the centerline, it is important to work on maintaining a straight path during the rollout phase to ensure a safe and smooth landing.
In conclusion, there are definitely areas for improvement in the landing process, but there are also some positive aspects to build upon. By focusing on improving descent management, alignment during the approach, and maintaining a stabilized approach and landing, the overall landing score can be significantly improved. Keep up the effort and practice to achieve even better results in future landings. You are on the right track, and with dedication, you can continue to enhance your skills as a pilot.
