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 3,002 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 265 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
First and foremost, I would like to commend the pilot for successfully completing the landing despite facing numerous challenges during the approach and touchdown phases. Achieving a landing score of 80.5% is no easy feat, and it is a testament to the pilot's skill and expertise.
Moving forward, it is important to address the issues identified during the landing. The poor descent path below the glideslope limit during the Approach Phase and the significantly below target threshold height during the Landing Phase are areas that require improvement. Ensuring a stable descent and maintaining the correct altitude throughout the approach will greatly contribute to a smoother landing.
Additionally, the very poor landing flare during the Landing Phase and the very hard touchdown rate in the Touchdown Phase are points of concern. Properly executing the landing flare and ensuring a smooth touchdown are essential for a successful landing. Furthermore, maintaining the correct touchdown speed and distance within the touchdown zone and closer to the runway centreline are crucial for safe landings.
Lastly, it is important to note the landing with an 11 kn tailwind, which can significantly impact the aircraft's performance during landing. It is vital to always adhere to recommended landing procedures and guidelines to ensure a safe and successful landing.
Overall, while there are areas for improvement, it is important to recognize the achievements made during the landing. By addressing the identified issues and focusing on enhancing skills and techniques, the pilot can continue to strive for excellence in future landings. Keep up the good work and continue to prioritize safety and precision in all flight operations.
