Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 10,484 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,538 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 2.25 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, the aircraft landing score of 75.2% indicates that there were several areas for improvement throughout the landing phases.
Firstly, in the Approach Phase, the poor descent path above the glideslope limit suggests that the aircraft was not in the optimal position for a smooth and stable descent towards the runway. This could have contributed to challenges in the Landing Phase, where the threshold height was significantly above the target. It is crucial for pilots to maintain a proper descent profile to ensure a safe and efficient landing.
Additionally, the Landing Phase highlighted issues such as a very poor landing flare, firm touchdown rate, and bouncing on touchdown. A smooth and controlled approach to the runway is essential for a successful landing, and these factors indicate that there may have been difficulties in achieving a gentle and stable touchdown.
Lastly, in the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown point being 1223 ft beyond the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position being 61 ft from the centerline suggest a lack of precision in the aircraft's alignment with the runway. It is important for pilots to maintain proper alignment throughout the landing to ensure a safe and accurate touchdown.
Moving forward, it would be beneficial for pilots to focus on improving their descent path, flare technique, and alignment with the runway during the landing phases. By practicing and addressing these areas of improvement, pilots can work towards achieving a higher landing score and ensuring safe and smooth landings in the future. With dedication and practice, there is no doubt that improvements can be made to enhance overall landing performance.
