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 1,791 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,791 m of the 2,756 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 795 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Honda Jet from EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport to LIMJ Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport was smooth and efficient. The taxiing from the parking to the runway took 14 minutes, covering 3 nm. The departure roll from runway 25L at EDDB was successful, with a takeoff distance of 925 m and a liftoff speed of 133 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 4 °C, with a wind speed of 19 kn at 285 °, including a crosswind of 11 kn and a headwind of 15 kn.
The enroute climb started shortly after departure, increasing from 1,167 ft asl to 37,490 ft asl in 20 minutes, covering 76 nm. The level cruise started in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, and lasted 18 minutes, covering 223 nm. Another climb occurred in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany, increasing from 38,325 ft asl to 40,440 ft asl in 2 minutes, covering 21 nm. The subsequent level cruise in Baden-Wuerttemberg lasted 11 minutes, covering 220 nm.
The descent phase began south of LIMJ Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport, decreasing from 41,114 ft asl to 1,812 ft asl in 18 minutes, covering 15 nm. The landing on runway 10 at LIMJ was successful, with a touchdown speed of 90 kn and a VSI of -121 ft/m. The total landing distance was 1,725 m, 63% of the runway length. The local weather at the time of landing was 17 °C, with a wind speed of 14 kn at 140 °, including a crosswind of 8 kn and a headwind of 11 kn.
After landing, taxiing to the parking from the runway took 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 589 nm, taking 96 minutes and utilizing 827 kg of fuel. Overall, the flight in the Honda Jet was successful and efficient, with all phases of the flight executed smoothly.
Great job on the Approach Phase with good glideslope alignment! This indicates a strong ability to maintain the correct descent angle and stay on track for a successful landing.
However, the Landing Phase seems to have some room for improvement. The fact that the threshold height was well above target suggests a possible need for better judgement and control during this critical phase of the landing process. Additionally, the very poor landing flare could have contributed to a less than ideal touchdown.
On a positive note, the Touchdown Phase showed some strengths with a smooth touchdown rate, on-target speed, and touchdown point around 393 meters beyond the designated zone. These factors indicate good control and precision during the initial touchdown.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was slightly off at 10.3 meters from the centerline. While this may not seem significant, maintaining proper alignment is crucial for a safe and efficient landing.
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 85.4% is impressive, but there are areas where further attention and practice could lead to even better results. Keep up the good work and continue refining your skills to ensure smooth and precise landings in the future.
