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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,765 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 122 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport, the ATR 72 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 10, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 130 kt. The aircraft utilized 84% of the available runway length, covering a distance of 2,296 m. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 28 °C and a moderate headwind of 11 kt.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began ascending from 1,022 ft above sea level to 8,272 ft, a vertical increase of 7,250 ft over a period of 8 minutes. The climb was conducted in a northerly direction, covering a distance of 24 nm. Following a brief level cruise phase, the aircraft commenced its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 8,294 ft to 1,227 ft over a distance of 27 nm. The descent phase was completed in 8 minutes, positioning the aircraft for its final approach to runway 09 at George F. L. Charles Airport in Saint Lucia.
The final approach was conducted from the west, with the aircraft aligning with the runway at a height of 1,208 ft above ground level. Touchdown occurred at a speed of 114 kt, slightly above the target threshold speed of 110 kt. The touchdown distance of 123 m was within acceptable limits, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following touchdown, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 64 nm, with a fuel consumption of 295 kg.
The final approach to runway 09 at TLPC George F. L. Charles Airport from the west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 75.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,208 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 116 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a touchdown distance of 123 meters, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 114 knots was a little fast, resulting in a very hard touchdown rate of -506 feet per minute. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind of 12 knots at 100°, contributed to a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
The total landing distance of 808 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway length, was satisfactory. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was good, with a score of 95.8% achieved.
