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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,380 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 609 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Eviation Alice Luxury Livery 5 taking off from runway 09 at Key West International Airport (KEYW). The aircraft rolled down the runway for 467 meters, which was 32% of the runway's length, before lifting off into the air at a speed of 120 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 15 knots blowing at 30 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Stock Island in Florida. The aircraft ascended from an altitude of 583 feet above sea level to 13,189 feet, an increase of 12,606 feet, in just 7 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 32 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 20 miles north of Big Pine Key. This phase of the flight lasted for 11 minutes and covered a distance of 64 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 4 miles west of Kendall West. The descent from 12,810 feet to 11,912 feet took just 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north of Kendall West. This phase of the flight lasted for 116 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile northwest of Tamiami. The descent from 11,347 feet to 1,279 feet took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 21 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10L at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (KFLL) was made from the west, with the aircraft heading at 91.0 degrees and flying at an altitude of 1,250 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 10L, which was 2,380 meters long. However, the threshold height at 81 feet above ground level was significantly above the target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 95 knots.
The touchdown point was 174 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was excessively fast at 82 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -262 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots blowing at 100 degrees.
The total landing distance was 744 meters, which was 31% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 127 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 36 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used zero kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Eviation Alice, a luxury aircraft, has successfully landed at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (KFLL) on runway 10L. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 91.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,250 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was conducted in a relatively calm environment, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 10 knots at 100°.
However, the landing was not without its challenges. The threshold height at 81 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been higher than desired at the point of touchdown. Additionally, the threshold speed was excessively high at 95 knots, suggesting that the aircraft may have been traveling too fast as it approached the runway. This could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially increased the risk of a hard landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 174 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended point of touchdown. The touchdown speed of 82 knots was also excessively fast, indicating that the aircraft may have been unable to slow down sufficiently before touching down. The touchdown rate of -262 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to slow down relatively quickly after touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a combination of factors including wind, pilot error, or aircraft performance. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its direction and speed after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was not without its issues, but the aircraft was able to safely touch down and come to a stop on the runway. The total landing distance of 744 meters was 31% of the runway length, which is relatively short considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, further analysis and training may be necessary to improve the aircraft's landing performance and reduce the risk of future incidents.
