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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,617 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 761 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an ATR 72, then departed from runway 09 at EGJB Guernsey Airport. The takeoff distance was 845 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 119 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 0 degrees. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of Saint Peter Port, Guernsey. The climb took 19 minutes and covered 56 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,330 feet above sea level to 20,350 feet above sea level.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 20 minutes and covered 83 nautical miles. This phase started 10 miles southeast of Stoke Fleming in Devon, England. The aircraft then began its first descent, which took 2 minutes and covered 8 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 20,037 feet above sea level to 19,259 feet above sea level.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 14 minutes and covered 72 nautical miles. This phase started 7 miles southeast of Penally in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The aircraft then began its second descent, which took 14 minutes and covered 57 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 18,798 feet above sea level to 2,960 feet above sea level.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 7 minutes and covered 19 nautical miles. This phase started 17 miles east of Loughshinny in Leinster, Ireland. The aircraft then began its final descent, which took 2 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 2,289 feet above sea level to 1,173 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 28L at EIDW Dublin Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 276.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 950 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 28L, which had a length of 2,617 meters. The threshold height at 70 feet above ground level was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 109 knots.
The touchdown point was 311 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 94 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -223 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots at 270 degrees.
The total landing distance was 960 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 305 nautical miles, with the flight taking 86 minutes and using 1,089 kilograms of fuel.
The ATR 72 aircraft successfully landed on runway 28L at Dublin Airport (EIDW) with a score of 83.8%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 276.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 950 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,617 meters.
The threshold height at 70 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high during the approach. However, the threshold speed was good at 109 knots, suggesting that the pilot maintained a suitable speed for landing. The touchdown point was 311 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. The touchdown speed of 94 knots was within the acceptable range, but the touchdown rate of -223 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft may have touched down with a slightly higher rate than desired.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the landing roll. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 14 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's alignment issues during the landing roll.
The total landing distance was 960 meters, which is 37% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the landing roll or during the braking phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with the aircraft's alignment and touchdown rate. The pilot's performance was good, but there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more precise alignment and touchdown rate.
