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 1,501 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,501 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 556 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Honda HA420 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EDMA Augsburg Airport, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 25, with a takeoff distance of 910 meters, which accounted for 71% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 124 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 13°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 269°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Gersthofen in Bavaria, Germany, where the aircraft began its ascent from 2,636 feet above sea level to 39,585 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,949 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 75 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles southwest of Langenargen in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. This phase lasted for 27 minutes and covered a distance of 73 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 3 miles northeast of Oberwald in the Canton du Valais, Switzerland, where the aircraft descended from 39,005 feet above sea level to 2,815 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,190 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 69 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at LIMW Aosta Corrado Gex Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 82.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,009 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 09 was successful, with a touchdown point 145 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 94 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -198 feet per minute, also good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 12°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 151°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,088 meters, which accounted for 72% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 222 nautical miles, took 55 minutes, and used 361 kilograms of fuel.
The Honda HA420 aircraft successfully landed at LIMW Aosta Corrado Gex Airport, achieving a score of 82.7%. The final approach to runway 09 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 82.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,009 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the touchdown point located 145 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 94 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -198 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, demonstrating a stable and controlled landing.
The threshold height at 86 feet agl was significantly above the target, which may have contributed to the slightly longer than ideal touchdown point. However, the threshold speed of 109 knots was good, indicating a well-executed approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 151°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, with the runway touchdown alignment being described as very good.
The total landing distance of 1,088 meters was 72% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration after touchdown.
Overall, while there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, the Honda HA420 aircraft demonstrated a satisfactory landing performance at LIMW Aosta Corrado Gex Airport, with a score of 82.7%.
