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 2,233 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 448 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Beechcraft King Air 350A from ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport to LIMF Turin Airport was smooth and efficient.
The taxi from the parking to the runway at ELLX took 8 minutes and covered 2 nm. The departure roll on runway 24 was quick, with a takeoff distance of 590 m, which was only 15% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 112 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 8°C with a 7 kn wind coming from 280°, resulting in a 4 kn crosswind and a 5 kn headwind.
The enroute climb started shortly after takeoff from ELLX, ascending from 2,163 ft asl to 26,388 ft asl in just 12 minutes, covering 36 nm. The level cruise phase of the flight began over Laudrefang, lasting 38 minutes and covering 196 nm.
The descent started a mile south of Les Contamines-Montjoie, gradually dropping from 26,826 ft asl to 2,677 ft asl over 22 minutes and 57 nm. The landing on runway 36 at LIMF Turin Airport was successful, with a touchdown speed of 78 kn and a VSI of -114 ft/m. The total landing distance was 585 m, which was 26% of the runway length. The local weather at the time of landing was 8°C with a 3 kn wind from 10°, resulting in no crosswind and a 3 kn headwind.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 299 nm and took 102 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 459 kg of fuel during the journey. The taxi from the runway to the parking area at LIMF took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
Congratulations on achieving a landing score of 99.4%! Your performance throughout each phase of the aircraft landing was truly impressive and demonstrates your skill and precision as a pilot.
During the Approach Phase, you displayed excellent glideslope alignment, which indicates a high level of accuracy in descending towards the runway. While your speed was slightly below target, this minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall quality of your approach.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you excelled in maintaining a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from descent to touchdown. Your landing flare was executed perfectly, ensuring a gentle and controlled touchdown on the runway.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was smooth and your speed was right on target, showcasing your ability to accurately judge the aircraft's descent and velocity. Additionally, the fact that you landed within the touchdown zone and achieved a very good runway touchdown position further highlights your proficiency in executing a precise landing.
Finally, during the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was very good, indicating that you maintained a straight and controlled path as you decelerated and taxied off the runway.
Overall, your performance during each phase of the aircraft landing was exemplary. Your attention to detail, precise execution, and adherence to key landing criteria resulted in an outstanding landing score. Keep up the great work and continue to strive for excellence in your future flights. Well done!
