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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,383 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 283 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 08 at KLNS Lancaster Airport in 1 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 08, the Cessna 208B accelerated over a takeoff distance of 475 m, representing 24 % of the runway, and lifted off at 79 kt; ambient temperature was 14 °C with a wind of 12 kt from 351°, a 12 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead KLNS, rising from 789 ft asl to 12 000 ft asl, an altitude gain of 11 211 ft achieved in 11 minutes while covering 30 nm.
Level cruise began 1 mile south of Cross Roads, Pennsylvania, and continued for 308 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 948 nm.
Descent started 7 miles west of MYNN Lynden Pindling International Airport, descending from 12 000 ft asl to 1 297 ft asl, a loss of 10 703 ft in 20 minutes and covering 42 nm.
The final approach to runway 32 at MYNN was executed from the southeast on a heading of 315.0° at 4 nm and 1 278 ft agl; the aircraft then descended from 1 327 ft agl to 60 ft agl in 239 seconds and met the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 32 was completed with a threshold speed of 69 kt, a touchdown distance of 265 m, a touchdown speed of 66 kt, and a firm touchdown rate of minus 347 fpm; runway length is 3 383 m, temperature was 15 °C, wind 12 kt from 351°, with a 7 kt cross-wind and a 10 kt head-wind.
The total landing distance recorded was 400 m, equivalent to 12 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1 029 nm, required 347 minutes, and consumed 816 kg of fuel.
The Cessna 208B entered the final approach to runway 32 at MYNN Lynden Pindling International Airport from the south-east on a heading of 315.0° at 4 nm and 1,278 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits, and the aircraft descended from 1,327 ft agl to 60 ft agl in 239 seconds.
At the threshold the aircraft’s speed was slightly above target at 69 kt and the threshold height was reported as good. The flare was executed to bring the aircraft to the aim point approximately 300 m (1,000 ft) down the runway.
Touchdown occurred 265 m from the threshold with a speed of 66 kt, described as a little fast, and a firm vertical rate of minus 347 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 400 m, representing 12 % of the 3,383 m runway, and runway rollout alignment remained perfect throughout.
To improve the 73.8 % score, aim to achieve the target threshold speed rather than the slightly high 69 kt, and refine the flare to reduce touchdown speed and vertical rate while preserving the accurate aim point.
