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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,130 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,130 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 213 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 35L at YMMB Melbourne Moorabbin Airport in 7 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 35L, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 102 kt and became airborne after a take-off distance of 549 m, which represented 51 % of the runway; ambient temperature was 8 °C.
Climb commenced over Heatherton, with the aircraft ascending from 227 ft asl to 2 950 ft asl, a gain of 2 723 ft achieved in 2 minutes while traversing 5 nm.
The first level cruise segment began over Chelsea Heights, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
Descent started 1 mile south of Frankston North, with altitude decreasing from 2 948 ft asl to 1 190 ft asl, a loss of 1 759 ft in 2 minutes over a distance of 4 nm.
A second cruise phase was flown over Somerville, lasting 2 minutes and extending for 5 nm.
Final approach to runway 35 at YTYA Tyabb Airport involved a descent from 207 ft agl to -380 ft agl in 51 seconds, and the aircraft was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 35, which is 1 130 m long, was executed with a threshold speed of 91 kt (slightly above target), a touchdown distance of 212 m, a touchdown speed of 81 kt, and a touchdown rate of minus 161 fpm; runway-touchdown alignment was very good and the local temperature was 9 °C.
Rollout distance measured 307 m, representing 27 % of the runway, and runway-rollout alignment was perfect.
In total, the flight covered 24 nm, required 14 minutes, and consumed 15 kg of fuel.
