What went well

Touched down at -101 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 813 ft in — inside the full-score zone
1.14 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Landing and flare profile at 13 %, Threshold speed was a little below target at 65 kn. at 81 %, −2.84 points
Arrival Final 1 — Approach angle 2.4 ° at 51 %, −0.65 points
Departure Climb 3 — bank angle up to 10.6 ° at 77 %, −0.41 points

Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

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.
