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 1,958 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,958 m of the 4,013 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 154 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.75 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, this aircraft landing showed areas for improvement but also highlighted some strengths that can be built upon in future landings.
In the Approach Phase, it's clear that there was room for improvement with the descent path being below the glideslope limit. However, it's encouraging to see that the heading alignment was great and speed was on target. This shows that the pilot has a strong understanding of maintaining proper alignment and speed control during the approach.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, the threshold height being extremely low and the poor landing flare are areas that need attention. Proper flare technique is crucial for a smooth and safe landing, so focusing on this aspect in future landings will greatly benefit overall performance.
During the Touchdown Phase, the heavy touchdown rate and slightly above target speed are areas that can be refined with practice and attention to detail. It's positive to note that the touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone, indicating some level of precision in landing. Additionally, the fact that the runway touchdown position was only 24.8 meters from the centerline shows potential for improvement in centerline alignment.
Overall, while this landing had its share of challenges, there are strong points to build upon such as heading alignment and maintaining proper speed. By focusing on improving descent path, flare technique, touchdown rate, and precision in runway alignment, future landings can be even more successful. With dedication and practice, the pilot can continue to refine their skills and achieve smoother and more precise landings. Keep up the hard work and perseverance, and the results will surely show improvement!
