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 1,599 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 331 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, this aircraft landing had a mix of both strengths and weaknesses throughout the different phases of the landing process.
During the Approach Phase, the descent path below the glideslope limit indicates that the aircraft was descending at a steeper angle than desired, which could have potentially caused a harder landing. However, the excellent heading alignment and on-target speed indicate good control of the aircraft's trajectory.
In the Landing Phase, the slightly too low threshold height and poor landing flare suggest that the approach to the runway could have been improved. The landing flare is crucial in ensuring a smooth and controlled touchdown, so this could have impacted the overall smoothness of the landing.
Despite these issues, the Touchdown Phase had some positive aspects. The smooth touchdown rate and on-target speed indicate good control during the final moments before landing. The fact that the touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position was very good suggests that the pilot was able to accurately judge the touchdown point on the runway.
Finally, during the Rollout Phase, the very good runway alignment indicates that the aircraft was able to stay centered on the runway during the landing rollout.
In conclusion, while there were some areas of improvement in this aircraft landing, such as the descent path, landing flare, and threshold height, there were also strengths in the on-target speed, touchdown distance, and runway alignment. Continued practice and focus on these areas can help to further improve the overall effectiveness and smoothness of future landings.
