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 2,190 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 193 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, the aircraft landing score of 94.3% is a commendable achievement and reflects the pilot's skill and precision during the various phases of the landing process.
Firstly, during the Approach Phase, the pilot showed excellent glideslope alignment, which is crucial for ensuring a smooth and controlled descent towards the runway. This indicates a thorough understanding and proficiency in managing the aircraft's altitude and approach angle.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is noted that the threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway before touchdown. However, there was a mention of a very poor landing flare, which is an important technique to reduce the rate of descent just before touchdown. This area could be improved upon to ensure a softer and smoother landing in the future.
In the Touchdown Phase, the pilot displayed a heavy touchdown rate, which can be concerning as it puts additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear. On a positive note, the speed was on target, and the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone was very good. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was also deemed as very good, showcasing the pilot's ability to precisely land the aircraft in the designated area.
Lastly, during the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was noted as very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a straight path along the runway after touchdown. This is crucial for ensuring safe and efficient taxiing to the designated parking area.
Overall, while there were areas that could be improved upon, such as the landing flare and touchdown rate, the pilot should be encouraged by the strong performance in other aspects of the landing. With continued practice and focus on refining technique, the pilot has the potential to further improve their landing skills and achieve even higher scores in the future.
