Flight Score
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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,886 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,453 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The 2.07 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
While a landing score of 62.7% may not be ideal, it's important to remember that every landing provides an opportunity for improvement. Let's break down the analysis to better understand where adjustments can be made to achieve a smoother and more precise landing in the future.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it is noted that the descent path was above the glideslope limit and the speed was too high. By ensuring a more precise descent and controlling the speed, you can better position the aircraft for a successful landing. Consider adjusting your approach angle and using appropriate throttle settings to maintain a stable descent.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is observed that the threshold height was excessively over target, the landing flare was very poor, and the landing heading was also lacking. Focus on maintaining the correct altitude during the final approach and executing a smooth flare to soften the touchdown. Additionally, pay attention to your alignment with the runway to ensure a straight landing heading.
In the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate was very heavy, the speed was too high, and the touchdown point was far beyond the designated zone. Work on reducing your descent rate and controlling your speed to achieve a gentler touchdown within the designated area. Also, aim to improve your alignment with the runway centerline for a more precise landing position.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, it is highlighted that the runway alignment was off-center by 47 feet. Focus on maintaining a straight rollout by adjusting your rudder and brake inputs to keep the aircraft centered on the runway.
Remember, every landing is a learning experience, and with practice and attention to detail, you can make significant improvements in your landing performance. Keep a positive attitude, stay focused on refining your techniques, and strive for smoother landings in the future. You have the potential to achieve higher landing scores with dedication and perseverance. Good luck!
