What went well

Touched down at -300 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 1.1 ft off the centreline, no bounce
1.29 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Enroute Descent — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft; speed limits at 57 %, −1.93 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 0 %, Threshold height at 61 ft agl was above target at 87 %, −1.17 points
Departure Climb 3 — bank angle up to 19.3 ° at 54 %, −0.61 points

Next time

Departure

Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.

What happened: Bank increased to 0.9° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 13° into the next climb segment.

Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level

See Departure Climb 2Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

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.
